ok well thank you for all your help and taking the time to reply to all of my questions. I have a new set of fibers coming any day so once those get here ill try those out just in case, and i think i may be able to get ahold of another motherboard. And then if all else fails, then ill send everythin...

So you believe it’s definitely an issue with either the Dc3io or cpu10? Whether it be the optical fibers, or the pcbs themselves, or because I’m using that pci adapter instead of an actual pci slot? Also just for the record, I added an emi filter between the capacitor and the terminal inputs, and it...

the led was flickering at one point, and the contactor was opening and closing erratically. although it doesn't seem to be doing it as of lately. and honestly i was trying everything in my power to avoid having to send the components in, but i will if theres just no other option. and the 120vac that...

oh and i forgot to mention, i am getting a "servo drive shutdown" fault almost immediately after the cpu boots every time i start the system up. i dont think i mentioned that before

Ok i have a new theory that I accidentally stumbled upon today while tracing wires. i was testing the incoming 120vac conductors and made my way through the rectifier/cap and up into the servo motor input (+vm & vm gnd), and for a split secomd i forgor to change my multimeter to dc, but that was...

I don’t believe the issue is with the optical fibers, I disconnected each one and checked to see if light made it through the( I know that’s not the correct way to test them but it at least tells you if they’re completely broken or not ) and each one appears to be fine. I ordered brand new ones just...

Alright guys. I posted a while back that I was having issues getting my new cnc to work. The mill came with a Dc3io and a hitachi sj200 vfd. I had the mill wired up to the point I was confident enough to attempt to do a motor tune. Come to find out, a spindle fault is inhibiting me from taking any f...

Sure I’ll post a few right now to my original post. Strange that you mention intermittent power connections. Not 5 minutes ago, I was working on a separate project not related to the mill in any way and for the first time since I wired the new vfd, the e-stop contractor randomly clicked 2 or 3 times...

Hey guys, so about a moth ago I came across a hurco sm1 with the dc3io plc with the cpu10 and jog pendant on craigslist for an amazing deal. the reason it was such a good price was because the person selling it wasnt sure if it ran as it was his fathers work in progress. So i got it home and have be...
