Vcp not communicating with oak board

Hi, my system has been working perfectly but I haven’t fired it up in quite a few weeks as I’ve been busy with other stuff. On switching on today when pressing cycle start to home the axis nothing happens. On checking there is no 24v on the output of the estop from the oak board so the servos aren’t...

Re: Sensor issue with Lube pump

Hi, managed to resolve the issue. Removed the pump and found an iffy connection. 24v now when connected to terminal 9 and have been able to remove the bar in the IO screen.
Many thanks.

Re: Intermittent differential encoder error on x axis only

Hi , swapped the interface cables over as suggested and it has run with no hiccups all morning. I can only think that there was a dodgy connection somewhere and swapping them over has corrected this. It’s possible it may happen again but at least I have a better idea of where to look. Many thanks as...

Re: Intermittent differential encoder error on x axis only

Hi, yes this is the Mitsubishi mr-j2s system. It seems to be okay for a few minutes then the fault occurs which is why I’m very confused . It’s almost as if once it’s warmed up the signal requirements are no longer met ,but only on the x axis , I’ve had no issues yet with Z but as I say I haven’t be...

Intermittent differential encoder error on x axis only (Resolved)

There i was thinking everything was ready to go and hey, another issue pops up. I thought i'd try the lathe out initially in manual mode using my newly operational handwheels. Everything works fine for about 5 minutes or so and then everything shuts down with an X axis differential encoder error mes...

Re: Still struggling to get hand wheels operational.

Soory guys but still struggling with this. Have altered the Centroid Lathe-Standard-Oak-r4.src file and the MPU.plc file to match but still no joy. I believe the software brings up an alert when a change is made to the program but i don't see that so i assume i haven't made the changes correctly. i ...

Re: Still struggling to get hand wheels operational.

Many thanks
