Tested MPG will not drive Z axis if MDI is running. It does work if MDI is not running.
Reset this twice to be sure.
PLC DIAGNOSTIC:
#7 is green when probe is unplugged 6 is red
#6 is green when probe is ...

Any idea how to get ...

Re: Install swap out Acorn board

The board was replaced because it was acting erratically. Initially when I wanted to remove the power from the stepper motors to enable hand cranking it would not remove power from the X axis, which I overcame by unplugging at the X motor controller.(ENA+&-).Then I noticed that probing was ...

This to replace in a machine that was previously operating satisfactorily ( except for later due to board damage).
I want ...

Re: ENA +/- on G0678

What is the parameter number and what should it be set at for this ENA to function correctly? Is that an area to check?
Seems like nothing else has pointed to the cause.

Re: ENA +/- on G0678

Step 2
The ENA was not inverted to start with.
So used wizard to invert and save changes
Then voltage was read.
If this is incorrect , Send me instructions of exactly what you want and I’ll re check these readings
Thanks

Re: ENA +/- on G0678

I think my reply got lost

Step 2
I inverted X axis
Shut down wizard and cnc12
Restart cnc12
Then take voltage readings
Left inverted. Tried axis drive with/without ENA plugged in ( just incase something happened), no change.
