i have some weird issues with my AcornSix System and i have no idea, what to do. maybe someone of you can help.
i bought the system nearly one year ago, checked a few things, how the work and then put it away, while the rest of the machine is under construction.
now my cabinet is nearly done and i started to work with Acorn again. I did everything like in the manual. first weird thing is, that the new PC configuration App is not working on my system. One year ago i did all the settings manual and it worked. now i want to check it with the new app, but the app closed without any message at the first checkpoint.
i use this computer:
intel i5, 8gb ram, 240gb SSD, clean installation, no internet connection, no other programs, win 10.
okay, i didn´t matter, because i know, i did the configuration carefully last year. so i go on, stresstest was fine, spindelbenchtest as well, everything perfect. E-Stop is working, fine. But then i gave an example program a try, without any drive or spindle connected and i had some graphic issues in the running window.
but the next things are really weird.
after succesfull benchtest i added the wiring for the spindle. i use a 4KW Servo motor, add the analog input, add the alarm wire to input 1, add some outputs for Servo-Enable and Rotation direction. and it worked fine. after it, i decided to make it again for cleaning the wiring up with some labels and so on. after it, i could not control the Servo-Speed anymore. The output voltage on the analog output of Acorn was always 0,3V, no matter what speed i set in the control. i checked everything twice, i couldn´t find any mistake. i did the spindletest again without the wires to the Servo, output is perfect from 0-10V. but when i plug in the servowires again, always 0.3V output. my assumption in first was, that i messep up with the new wiring, but everything was exacly the same like the first time. in next step i went for a lunch brake. after it, i tried it again and now everything works, i didn´t changed anything, only wait maybe one hour. i cannot understand that.
well, not everything works. The input signal for Spindle alarm makes trouble. i put the spindle-alarm wire to input 1, gave +24V from an external power supply to the com port and thats it. but when i set the input in the Acorn Wizzard, i have to change the state from "normal closed" to "normal open". i save this in the wizzard, do a powercylce to acorn and restart CNC12 after it. i directly get an error "Spindle fault". when i go to the wizzard again, i see, that the state of input one is now "normal closed" again. I tried to change it several times, but it always switches back to "normal open". and sometimes, when i check the PLC Diagnostic, the input 1 is forced to be activated. but i didn´t do that by my self for sure.
i add a report file as an attachment, maybe it helps. i have really no idea what to do next.
Thanks in Advance,
Michael
