List of error codes?

[specnaz]

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, being working on my third CNC now, second time with Acorn and Clearpath servos, I was wondering if there is a list of error codes you get in CNC12 to reference to?

I keep getting random 9027 error , gives Axis 3 fault detected and it keeps running after reset button on VCP, it seem to happen if I move Z axis and then try to move Y

Any ideas would be awesome!

Thanks!

Error codes and their meanings are shown at the end of the CNC12 manual (page 328) https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_di ... -v4.12.pdf
Having said that, I don't see 9027, so perhaps there's another list somewhere. The only other mention I see of 9027 on the forum suggests a drive fault viewtopic.php?f=64&t=3673&p=28743&hilit=9027#p28743

Some of the fault descriptions can be a bit cryptic, so may need some explanation. The engineer who wrote the words probably knew what he meant....

As Muzzer pointed out, the Operator's manuals are your friend.
However, if you would post a fresh report when asking for assistance, we can take a look at your logs, configuration to offer suggestions.
As a general rule, you should follow this post: viewtopic.php?f=60&t=1043

The more information you provide, the better we can help. Kind of like going to the Doctor and saying I'm sick....

The operator's manual documents the error codes that are written into the CNC12 software.

Codes like "9027 ..." are implemented in the PLC program, not in CNC12. Documenting them is up to the author of the PLC program.

One would hope that Centroid would have gotten around, by now, to documenting the PLC-generated error messages in the most common "standard" factory-supplied PLC programs, but if they have, I have not seen it.

For what it's worth, you can find the messages in the file "plcmsg.txt". For example:

Code: Select all

27 9027 Axis3 Drive Fault Detected

You can cross-reference the message number to the definitions near the beginning of the PLC program source file. For example:

Code: Select all

AXIS3_DRIVE_FAULT_MSG		  IS 6913;(1+256*27)

If you search for the message token (e.g. "AXIS3_DRIVE_FAULT_MESSAGE") you will find the logic that reports it. For example:

Code: Select all

IF SV_AXIS_VALID_3 && SV_PC_POWER_AXIS_3 && (!Axis3DriveOk && DriveFaultTimer)
  THEN FaultMsg_W = AXIS3_DRIVE_FAULT_MSG, ; 6913(1+256*27)
    SET AxisFault_M

In short, this message is trying to tell you that the axis #3 servo drive is in a fault condition, as reported through the PLC input named "Axis3DriveOk".

A good place to start would be to look at your servo drive and see what fault code it is displaying.

sorry for the delay, here's my report.zip attached , i rewired all the connectors with ferules , verified all is well connected and in, then I ran another auto-tune routine on the Clearpath CPM-SDSK-2321S-EQN for my Z axis through USB port on it, reported no issues. Then in CNC12 config I made sure it travels in the right direction, and usually it works, but everytime I try to move Y axis and then very shortly afterwards I try to move Z it throws quick 9027 error, motors turn green right away but i have to hit cycle start to be able to jog. I'm not sure whats going on , Z axis travels very smoothly

motors turn green right away but i have to hit cycle start to be able to jog.

This is starting to sound like an "enable" issue. The clearpaths motors will fault if not enabled and you try to jog them manually.

For a test, try going to MDI which will enable all axis, then try moving each axis and see what happens.

I don't think this is the source of the problem you are having at the moment but will definitely become an issue when you try to run actual jobs on your machine:

The performance of your PC is totally inadequate to run CNC12. The minimum single thread CPU performance benchmark that Centroid requests is 1'500 and your CPU has about half of that. Also your are running version 1709 of Windows 10 and the latest version is 2004.

ok I will try that,

as far as enable goes, everything is hooked up properly, even in jog mode all three motors turn green which they do only when they are enabled, and this issue seems to be intermittent and only when i more Z axis

I'll swap my PC pretty soon with newer Pocono MB that normally run ATM machines, as I have access for free to plenty of them, I don't think this is causing the Z axis motor issue. In motor tuning software that specific motor doesn't report any errors
