Since rear feeder bank can be in three different positions, machine must know which one it is. Check in Machine Setup, Parameters - Feeders (see attached image). It that's set wrong, machine will try to reach position out of range and will hit end sw

All ready resolved. Looks like there was a loose cable on one of the modules, which would not allow it to command the low voltage servo module to run the motor in reverse.

Well, we finally got the machine to power up and fully boot, but now we are having issues with zeroing the axes. X, Y and Theta zero OK, and the board conveyor runs, but when it tries to zero the PWC, the rail moves to the rear of the machine, hits

I had to replace two Y-axis servo amplifiers on our GSM1 machine. I'm sitting on two faulty servos that I would like to have repaired. Let me know if you now place which specializes in repair of Servo Amplifiers Mod. No. 800-444 by Copley Controls.

Sorry, I did not check the forum for a few days. Slot 12 controller is in charge for PWC and Beam1 Head1 (front) theta and Z axes. Which sw. version is installed on your machine?

Apparently the machine is now completing initialization but when attempting to zero axis' it has a time-out waiting to change modes. Machine status page shows an error reading "initialization failure for motion control board."

It would be helpful to know what happened before the error occurred. Do you have another machine so that you can swap some boards? The Force CPU, (machine controller) located in the VME, is responsible for controlling all machine-related activities.

So, I have inherited a couple of "vintage" GSM1 machines, and we've got one powered up, trying to see if it even works, before registering the machine and paying Universal some money. It appears several of the safety interlock switches are triggered
