CNC10 Error Sending Line 54. Return Code 63

[MarineTech34]

Hi everyone, Im new to this Forum and Website, Also Just Purchased my Bridgeport CNC Machine that Im trying to get up and running, its been sitting around for a couple years before I got it. Its running CNC10. With a DC3I0 Servo Board. I am somewhat new to all this machining talk and such, so Im trying to say I have no Idea what Im doing so I dont even know where to begin. Ive hooked up the machine and computer and compressed air to it and im trying to get it to turn on and load the program CNC10, so when I turn on everything it starts doing its thing and then comes up and says ERROR SENDING LINE 54, RETURN CODE 63, Contact your Dealer. So I emailed Centroid and they told me to take out the SanDisk Card/Chip and clean it with alcohol and try that. So I pulled the card and I dont think its the style he was thinking of, its got I think 50 mini holes in the bottom where the pins/contacts go into it, so I couldn't really wipe it down. I sprayed some electrical cleaner in there and some duster and blew it out. Put it back in and got the same thing. Please Help. Thank You

If that error is due to poor connection, it is the connection of the CPU10 board in the PCI slot (not the compact flash card in its reader).

The error message indicates that the CNC10 software running on the PC has tried to communicate with the CPU10 board, over the PCI bus, and gotten no response.

Try cleaning the PCI contact fingers on the CPU10 board and reseating it in its slot.

Ok I will try that. What is the PCI Bus? Im not sure what you mean by the type of card it is, Its a chip kinda about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide and has 40 little holes for the pins to go into it, I was going to try and clean those with a miniture terminal cleaner kit I bought and try that too. So you said to check the wire and the terminals going from the PC to the servo board right? thats what line 54 means? Is line 54 a wire # or terminal # ? Because thats what I assumed myself and my computer friend said it was nothing to do with any wires or connections and line 54 was some thing to do with the programming? I dont know if my friend knows about this type of system at all. That would be great if it was a wire or connection, I might possibly be able to find it. Ok Thank You very much

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_card.
Contrast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CompactFlash.

Your friend is right: line 54 refers to the 54th line of text in the computer text file "cnc8.hex", which the CNC10 software on the PC is trying to transmit to the CPU10 expansion card.

The CPU10 expansion card looks like this: http://www.cncsnw.com/CPUs.htm#CPU10B.

The connection between the PC and the CPU10 does not go through any wires. The CPU10 is inside the PC case, plugged into a PCI expansion slot on the computer motherboard.
