F A Gor 8055M control Question

[ERIC14779]

I have a 2000 or 2001 vintage "***or 8055M" control on my Quintax...

 

This AM when I turned it on and started cutting parts this happened :

 

 

Load/Run program from Hard Disk

 

Run first part.... Unload/Reload with new part.

 

Cycle Start.... runs about 10% of program and stops.

 

Operator gets me... No errors. Look at program window and the rest of the program is not there !!!!!

 

I load program from the network to the machine Hard Drive... Re copy program (that worked all day yesterday) and try again.

 

Now it runs a little further into the program before the rest of the program is gone and it stops.

 

Quintax service has not heard of this happening... I thought of running from control memory.

 

Copied program from HD to memory and tried running.

 

IT WORKED !!!!!

 

Now I looked at the program on the machine HD from my computer.. Looks fine... all there.

 

Executed HD program and looked at it with out running.. now it is realy messed up...

 

Noted that the Attribute field has an astrik in front of the " -MX " on the program in question..

 

So it looks like this " * -MX "

 

Anybody know what is going on... how much to fix $$$$ ???

Found out that the * means that "this file is currently the last selected file"

 

 

the mfg suggested that I shut down and pull and reinstall the HDD card out of the CNC rack to clean the connectors.

 

I will give that a try at the end of the day...

 

hopefully that will do the trick as I have tried to load a different program and it does the same thing right now...

If your using X4 make sure you have updated you posts properly and completely. I've found that it will still run a post that has not been updated but then you get issues like this one.

[ERIC14779]

No X4 had to hold up on maintenance

 

this is purely a CNC/machine issue

 

 

ran same exact program from CNC control RAM no problems all day.....

After the shift ended last night I turned off the machine and pulled the HDD modual out and cycled all the connectors and then slid it back onto the back plane. and tightened up the retaining screws.

 

This AM powered up and it now is functioning properly when running from the HD.

 

 

Service call avoided !!!!
