Annoying issue (Resolved)

[repauli1]

I have this repetitive issue. I go to my shop, start my American Rotary Phase converter up, turn on 240vac to my router table. I then power up 120vac to my M400 panel, and everything works fine for about an hour or so. I am still setting up the controller, thus requiring quite a few power down/ power up of both the 240vac and the M400. After an hour or so I start getting a fault I cannot get to reset (usually SpindleError Fault). After I reboot, re-power, everything looks fine. I then hit cycle start to Home the machine, and I get another Spindle Fault error. If I power down repetitive times, and re-power same thing. I get frustrated, give up, and go to house, next day turn on phase converter power up, every thing works fine. It does this everyday.
notes,
1- If I goto to the diag screen, and Cntrl ALT "I" on SpindleInverterOk_I and toggle it, then I get a Panel Comm Fault in the message window.
2- I search forum, and added the timer for Inverter code

Part of the problem, at least, is that your message file "plcmsg.txt" does not match up with your PLC program source file.

For example, your message file includes:

Code: Select all

28  9028 SPINDLE FAULT!        
29  9029 Jog Panel Communication In Fault
30  9030 Jog Panel Communication Out Fault

While your PLC source file includes:

Code: Select all

AXIS4_DRIVE_FAULT_C             IS 7169;(1+256*28)
AXIS5_DRIVE_FAULT_C             IS 7425;(1+256*29)
SPINDLE_FAULT_MSG_C             IS 7681;(1+256*30)
JOGBOARD_INFLT_C                IS 7937;(1+256*31)
JOGBOARD_OUTFLT_C               IS 8193;(1+256*32)

So, when your PLC program wants to report a fault on your #4 axis drive, it requests message #28, and CNC12 displays a spindle drive fault message.

When your PLC program wants to report a spindle drive fault, it requests message #30, and CNC12 displays a jog panel outbound communication fault message.

You should search for -- or ask Centroid for -- a message file that matches the PLC program you are using.

That will help me quite a bit, I will check the fault msg file. Thanks!

This reply by cncsw was the fix, found out my slaved axes was the issue, not the spindle!
