ycm supermax rebel 1 help needed urgently, can pay for help.

hi, my name is lyle buonaccorsi. i recently hooked up a 1994 supermax rebel 1, serial number 4081082, with fanuc omc serial e94600235. the machine memory has been wiped due to batteries dying and falling out.

i have a parameter sheet from the factory, but i believe these parameters to be incorrect, as many of them cannot be set to what they show on the sheet. i have tried reset+delete wipe, edit key on/off, i have input the parameters probably ten times now, and have never gotten full functionality out of the machine. the most i have gotten is spindle control, and z and y axis control in handle mode only.

PLEASE help me, i would gladly pay for a parameter list/program list. i need 900 options from a working machine to cross reference with mine, diagnostic parameters, and macros/9000 programs to finish it up.

if anybody can help me, please help. im obviously a noob idiot who is in over his head, but please help me.
anything i can do to help as far as information/pics/video, i can provide at any time. i will be up again tonight trying to get it running, so i will be available online. please, any advice is welcomed.
thanks
lyle b

Try contacting the manager at YCM Americas. His name is Roy Jagannath ([email protected]

thank you, email sent.

also, if someone can tell me how to mod an rs232 25pin male to male "straight through" cord to be useful for dnc, that would be killer.

Here is a link to an article on RS232 pinouts from B&B Electronics. Check their tecnical library for other information. Pinout and COM Port Summary Card
Good luck. My experience has been that these things follow a path from darkness to light and if you just keep working on it, you will prevail.

You rock, man!

so, i got a nice new parameter list from ycm. there were significant differences from my original list. i performed a reset+cancel wipe, and input the new ones by hand. i now get 414 and 417 servo alarms on the x axis.
this is interesting because i moved the x axis ballscrew by hand when it was off. is there a way to reset this so the encoder knows where it is again?
i also got my rs232 wire hooked up, and got a "full handshake" adaptor. the machine flasshes output and lsk when i try to punch/send params in edit mode, but no data is actually being transferred. no idea about this. i set my parameters and settings on my dnc software (3 diff suites) to the same values, and i dont get an 086 alarm, or any alarms. just flashes output or lsk forever. i should note that with the handshake adaptor hooked up, i get the 086 alarm when i try to do any data transfer.
so, its now day 5 and my machine is still sitting here with a bunch of beautiful tools waiting eagerly to slice metal.
ANY help or advice would be appreciated GREATLY.

So, when I set parameter 19, it alters my diagnostic parameters, and the way they are displayed changes.they turn into groups of five.
Is there a certain order you have to enter parameters so that they keep their values?
Also I set my svsettings on my 414 & 417 alarmed x axis to match those of my y axis, and the 417 alarm went away. Is there a way to reset my x axis to get rid of the 414 alarm?
This is a fanuc omc.

diag param 720 reads 00100000, which fanuc lists in maintenance manual as OVC, excessive current. since this just popped up since i input new parameters, is this a software issue? excessive current sounds like a cabling issue, what can i test or fix to get this alarm off?

oh, and there is no alarm on the servo amp.
on spindle amp there is a green light on in the upper left corner, and two red steady lines. on servo amp there is one red steady line.
im soooo close to getting this machine up, i really need some guidance here.

i got the 414 alarm to go away... i turned the x ballscrew allllll the way back the way it came from. no alarms, what a wonderful thing!!! but, now theres aliens communicating through my mill...
