Running a Mydata 15E and in the middle of a board the machine will freeze. Restart the machine and try to initiate the hardware, get an error message of F-MOT-MSETDYN X/163: Illegal value of DSP command arguement I've check all the connections on t

Have you tried to test the X-axis stepping? I am suspecting might have to do with the Encoder with X-Magnetic strip.

robgd3, The Z motor can be purchased separately, however, the theta motor can't. You need to buy the whole midas head. I didn't get as far as dissembling the theta motor casing to get to the theta motor. That was my worse case scenario. We ran thou

I can't remember what motor control cards in the machine are interchangeable, but if the controller card for the theta axis is a common control card then you can swap out the one currently controlling the theta axis with a different axis and see if t

Bruce, Since we had spares, I replaced the X wagon cables, XFMB cable, nothing. FFX Cable, nothing. Swapped mot cards, nothing. Vaccum seal, nothing.At this point I truly believe the problem is either on the theta encoder or the theta motor. Unfortu

It's a motor controller card error. I'm not completely sure, but, it seems like something in the x. Swap MOT1 with MOT2 or 3, and see if the error moves. If it does, you have a bad MOT card. If it doesn't, you have something going on with a motor

I would have said it sounded like a motor/encoder problem...but, since you found the broken resistor, that was likely the source of your issue. The resistor and capacitor are a filter for the motor, MyData likes to put them on nearly all of the moto

For the past few weeks we have experienced an intermitent midas theta error.During normal production the machine times out while just after picking up a component waiting for the theta to center it.Sometimes it fails to leave a tool. Reinitianing the

I'll try swaping cards and see if the problem follows the card. So far, my guess would be the motor going bad. I did change the brushes, X wagon cables and every cable that goes to the midas unit. But that didn't fix it. The problem is that to replac

Negative on the spares. Mydata wants the other head for core....
