Thanks, I do recall reading about loading firmware onto some of the VME cards (VRM axis controllers I believe.) I will review this again. I agree that it seems to be some issue with reading axis position after hitting the home switch. The first thin

Hi Guys, Yesterday one of our two gsm1 machines just stopped moving and let down the board mid-production. The epc computer continued to respond but no messages were displayed when palming up or down. I tried local IO and it said no IO was configure

I appreciate your response. I kind of read about it, and made sure nothing sensor-wise is activated by mistake on the process of zeroing. Right now the machine is in this set up, and the rear rail is all the way to the back stop. So the sensor on the

Resolved. Thanks to some information provided by the fine folks over at Capital Equipment Exchange I was able to update the system to a EXP-VID-B video card, replacing the EXM-13A and EXM-14 combination. This update eliminates the jumper cable betwe

Just one more thought - we had an issue with +12V supply for VME rack. One tantalum cap in the DC/DC converter module for linear encoder interpolator shorted it out, but oddly enough - not always. We ended up hooking scope to all PSU voltages and whe

1. Palm down the GSM and open the safety cover to check input voltage +12VDC (at KDC2 3PL pins 2 to 3) and output voltage +5VDC (at KDC2 2PL pin 4 to 3) at the DC/DC converter. The DC/DC converter is located inside the control panel assembly ("Nose c

Had someone in from the broker that we bought this machine from, and he did some poking around. We've learned some things, but, unfortunately, are still no closer to getting the machine running :( We discovered (based on double checking other machi
