Took the console apart today and swapped the power cables for the floppy and compact flash drive. I also took apart the floppy drive to ensure I was using the correct pin as pin 1. Once I reassembled everything the console came online. I was able to get the "home machine" screen but when I...

I reassembled the console, hooked everything up and still only boots to Detecting IDE drives. I did reattach the ribbon cable from the IDE slot to the CompactFlash drive. The CompactFlash drive is co-located with the 3.5 floppy. Both have ribbon cables attached, both have power supply plugs connecte...

I will try to reassemble everything and I will report anything I find. Thanks!

The wiring schematic and the board do not correspond to each other directly as for the layout of the connectors. I kind of thought there had to be power since the board was doing something at...

I am trying to work out why my M15-9 CNC control will not come online. I got the machine last year, but the control never turned on when I got it. Someone had previously been inside the control console as the DC power supply was wire tied in place, I had a "tech" take a look at it. The pow...

I am getting close to the end of my pre-install planning. I only have a few things left before I do the bench test and the final install. I have the Mitsubishi MDS-A-SPJA-75RT spindle drive, and an encoder 1:1 mounted to the spindle. The Mitsubishi spindle drive has encoder feed back from the motor....

The spindle amp I am using Mitsubishi MDS-A-SPJA-75RT requires a system ready signal to enable operation. Does the GPOI4D board have an output signal for "system ready" status?

What type of fiber optic cable/end is used to connect the MPU11 to the GPOI4D board? I bought a used kit from a local dealer and the fiber optic cables were not included. Thanks for the help!
