Files S14556.tcw and S14674.tcw were used originally to retrofit the lathe and were left in the cabinets.
I downloaded "Centroid Retrofit of Hardinge Lathe Procedure Manual- Rev 0141104" for reference.

Applied power to the system.

No smoke....no sparks

However the motherboard on the pc is not booting. Fans come on then it reboots. No video signal either.

I have tested the PC prior to all this work I have done so jot sure yet what the cause is.

When power was applied the Allin1dc did power up. The LEDs on the control pendant all flashed 4 times.

I have not done anything to the parameters of the VFD yet.

Keep in mind I also have everything on cable 3 yet to terminate.

Today I will be looking at the CMOS battery on the PC. Could be dead seeing it has been in the garage un-booted for a few years. Will also try powering it with power straight to it without going through the system, as I have done successfully in the past. As long as I am investigating the PC may as well reseat everything. , cables memory cpu etc....

TECO Tech from the supplier I bought my VFD from is being slow to respond to my question. Hopefully one of you can help.

When I bought the drive it came with a wire jumper installed on the user terminals. I was not aware it was there until it dropped when I was loosening all the screws for the inputs/outputs terminals. I can find nothing in the documentation for what it is and when it is to be used. The only thing I suspect it could be is where they call out SF/SG connections. only issues is there are not both on the same plane. The jumper looks like it needs to go to something in the same plane. I'll add a pic here soon.

Well looky there....the answer is right in the first pic I took with the terminals in it.

Now why are the instruction manual showing a different layout as to what is on the VFD?

I couldn't take it any longer. I hit Run on the VFD. Motor ran.
Was a little loud on the chirping. Then I read thst the motor playe info needed to be entered before starting the motor.

Got that info in the best I could. Read somewhere about the Autotune. Got that ran. Still hearing a chirpping as the motor goes up to speed and on the way down. Not sure the video will capture the sound. Will see if I can get it.

Ran through the group 3 parameters. Think I got them set correct. Still getting a fault on the spindle in Centroid. Could be that I need to complete the wiring harness from the carriage.
