Tom, Did you put the machine in debug mode? Do you use RAMTF or PTF? Based on your problem, check PilZ box.

Hi there

FYI I did try logicomm but the log files were empty. There must be something wrong with my connections from the force board to the EPC. I'll keep investigating. I also swapped the EPC to see if that makes any difference.

Tom, There are two power supply in the machine. One on top of VME box and other behind power distribution panel. The voltage that you see and check at PDP is not from VME.

I believe I found the power supply you refer to on the back side of the pdp mounting panel. I will have a look at it.

Thanks for the detailed information. I have a spare dc/dc converter on order to try swapping them. Another note is all dc power is cut out by the pdp.ps1, not just 12vdc. 24vac power remains.

One of our GSM1 machines occasionally stops running in the middle of a program and I haven't been able to figure out what is causing it. When the issue occurs, the "BM" (bus master) light on the SYS68K card drops out (turns off, no activity) the boa
