It sat for a few months, started it up and it gave a battery warning. I changed both batteries as I have in the past, and the first time I re-indexed the Turret it worked, except tool #1 was in Tool 7. It would start a program moving the turret in X and Z, it just would not change tools properly. So I re-indexed the turret and got an AL61 error. I tried multiple times to reset with pmm 011 following the manual, checking the switching x1000 and y10003 toggle, which it did not do, so I would force the settings. Now I have AL60 alarm (2060) "Turret Index Power off" and nothing I do with keep 05 or pmm 0011 does any good. Turret remains unlocked. It wont move in x z or clamp withe bz/off. he Bit Indicator lights on the servo amps are U. Which I believe is correct.
I did read on one forum there should be four LEDs lit on the servo amp, which I presume is the one that needed the 6v battery down on the left. There is only one LED lit. But I dont know if this is true.
Does anyone know how to turn the turret power back on? Could I have lost the parmeters somehow?
Alarm 2060 means the turret is powered down or the turret clamp/unclamp signal sequence wasn’t completed properly.
