Re: Virtual Control Panel Fault After Tool Path


It is also possible that the new relay has the snubber network built in or clipped on. You really should make sure that there is something controlling the energy it will dump when de-energized.


Yes, I ordered a snubber online to install on the contactor that powers the machine on start up ...

Re: Virtual Control Panel Fault After Tool Path

FOUND THE ISSUE! I did have the CNC12 relay panel wired correctly transferring a low 24 vdc signal out of the relay board to a secondary relay (24vdc to 120vac output 30amp). I replaced the secondary relay with a same value but different manufacturer and type. Now it's working without throwing the ...

Re: Virtual Control Panel Fault After Tool Path

Re: Virtual Control Panel Fault After Tool Path

Performed a test this AM on my CNC router. I "unplugged" my 1.5hp router motor so I can just run the CNC and the CNC12 software. With everything powered up and communicating with CNC12, I put the "spindle" control (on the virtual control) in manual. Using the mouse I depress the green start button ...

Re: Virtual Control Panel Fault After Tool Path


It may be working fine up until you start a file and something energizes, or when things shut off when the file is done. Is that a 30A contactor for the router in the lower right, next to the curve in the Ethernet cable as it exits? Do you have a snubber on the coil for that? I had problems with ...

Re: Virtual Control Panel Fault After Tool Path


On the one hand, you say the problem is with the Virtual Control Panel, which is one small component of the system. If there were a problem with only the Virtual Control Panel, then you would still be able to navigate the menus in CNC12; see status messages and information in CNC12; launch other ...

Re: Virtual Control Panel Fault After Tool Path


Your report shows lots of MPU resend errors going back to 1/18/24, so something is still causing comm errors. Did you go over everything mentioned in your other post? https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=9664&p=83761&hilit=comunication+errors#p83761

How do you have the rest of the ...

Virtual Control Panel Fault After Tool Path < missing snubbers>

I'm still having the virtual control panel going inoperable after running a single tool path. I performed the communication test and no issues. I replaced the 15' Cat 5 cable with an 8' cat 8. Inspected the ethernet ports on the Acorn & the PC. No issues. My EZ Router runs/works perfectly during all ...
