HI,
I have a tidy old vintage Arrow 500 but unfortunately i have hit a brick wall with this probe problem, i brought a new MP700E spindle probe, a second hand renishaw omi and a second hand MI8 interface, i dont have the tool setter only spindle probe. the MI8 has been pulled out as the plc techie reckons i don't need it with only spindle probe running.
I have all the add ons installed and probe functions enabled in the machine settings menu, so the issue is you call up the spindle probe and the omi just stays with the 3 red led's and wont seem to transmit a signal to turn the probe on, after 4 - 5 seconds it times out and the error on screen appears, i'm really really hoping someone can spot the obvious that's i have missed something or they has passed through this problem before, i've been stuck at this point now for over a year and a half and its got me buggered!!!! hopefully someone knows what the issue is.
