**RESOLVED** 4.4.5 Testing PC, MPU11

When you say "Estop pushed", do you really mean "Estop input is closed"? (Input 11 is green)

Power everything off. Power everything back up simultaneously. Start the software.

Make sure all your encoders are disabled and stall detection is off.

Press Estop in and release it. Don't jog, or try anything else.

Now, what does it say in your status window here:

From the main screen, press F3 for MDI, does it kick you right back out or do you see this?:

If it kicks you right back out, you have a fault. What does it say in the status window?

Are your inputs (1-6, 11, 18 & 25) in exactly the same states as shown here?

If you get a fault (it kicked you out of MDI), please take a report immediately and send it before changing anything

Estop pushed 11 goes red, Estop released 11 goes green.

"From the main screen, press F3 for MDI, does it kick you right back."

Yes. The status window says: 327 Fualt: job cancelled DEMO mode has expired.Contact your Dealer to Purchase Permanant Unlock

"Are your inputs (1-6, 11, 18 & 25) in exactly the same states as shown here?"

Yes.

Report sent.

Captain Midnight,

If you cycle E-stop, do you see the Estop Detected and Estop Released messages on your message window without any faults after the messages and do you see the DF LED on the DC3IOB, which is located right next to the fibers, turn ON and OFF? If there exists no other faults, what should happen is that when the E-stop is pushed in, the DF LED will be OFF and there will be no continuity between RLY1 and RLY2. When the E-stop is released, the DF LED should be ON and there should be continuity between RLY1 and RLY2. If a fault does exist, that particular fault has to be cleared before you can move forward. Thanks.

Yes, I do see the Estop Detected and Estop Released messages on my message window without any faults after the messages.
I'm sorry, I don't know what the DF LED on the DC3IOB is. I see 5 green LEDs in that area. They all stay lit, when I push and release the Estop button.

I guess we're back to my original question:

4.4.5 Testing PC, Drive Fault Relay
The drive falt relay will not close. How can I fix this?
I have no continuity between Drive Fault Rly 1 and Drive Fault Rly 2 when the Emergency
stop is released.
Than you

On the message window it says something about my trial version running out. What is that about? Does this program expire or something? Did I download the wrong program. I'm trying to use MPU11 because I could not get Mach3 to work.

[Captain Midnight]

OK, I have CNC11 running again. I have the Estop contactor working. When I enable a motor, it stops working. "Encoder differantial error". Encoder wiring good, encoders good, encoders wired to correct plugs, DRO's work, and in the right direction. What should I look for?
