General Mach Discussion / Motors just quit - can't reset
« on: February 03, 2011, 10:34:16 PM »
After checking the x and z axis's, went to checking the y axis - travel (40" / slaved / one ball nut mount kept loose checking against a registration mark - thus no binding). 10000 steps/unit - 80 ips - accel 6 / ran each of the axis at full speed. Everything working good.
Using jog control now set to 10% and other than small noise change carriage moved smoothly - 15". Changed to 20% / reversed direction / ran 2" - motors just quit / reset button began flashing. Could not reset. Nothing on CNC or computer was touched prior to problem.
Went to diagnostics's page / no yellow flags / checked config / motor outputs / input pins / all same - no changes. Checked all limit switches - all working showing yellow flags when activated Won't reset.
Turned power off and checked y axis ball screws - no binding.
If program placed in offline, reset can be activated.
Problem appears to be in the program - I'm lost / need some help - what do I do?
