System test issue <resolved>

[the1depot]

All in one 2 axis bridgeport style mil. V5.06 software.

I have finished the installation tested limits tuned servos set soft limits, tested homing etc. everything is working properly, but the system test program stops. I am getting a (Missing parameter, line 1020). Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

What does the system test output file say? That will show you what the failure was. My guess is you have an index pulse too close to the home switch trip.

There is no systest.out file in your report. This suggests that you have never run the system test.

Here is the latest report. The system test output file is in this report. Thank You

The systest.out file is oddly short, suggesting that the sequence ended with an unexpected error before it wrote out any test results.

Your Machine Configuration -> Motor Parameters table has:

You cannot use just one input for all limits on all axes on an Allin1DC system. This is different from Acorn.

On the Allin1DC, inputs 1-6 are hardware inhibits to the servo drive, as well as logical PLC inputs. Opening INP1 will prevent the drive from moving the X axis in the minus direction. That will cause a stall when the system tries to test homing X+.

Wire your X- limit switch, by itself, to INP1. If your machine has no dedicated X- limit switch, then install one. If you cannot install one, then enter '0' for the X- limit and home input numbers; toggle the first limit defeater DIP switch ON; and change your cncm.hom file and your software travel limits to make X home plus instead.

Wire your X+ limit switch, by itself, to INP2. If your machine has no dedicated X+ limit switch, then install one. If you cannot install one, then enter '0' for the X+ limit and home input numbers; and toggle the second limit defeater DIP switch ON.

Wire your Y- limit switch, by itself, to INP3. Same deal.

Wire your Y+ limit switch, by itself, to INP4. Same deal. If you cannot have a dedicated Y+ switch, then you will have to set your control up to home Y minus (generally not desirable on a knee mill).

Thank you for your help everyone. Tech Support sent a new file for the system test and everything is fine now.
