I recently purchased, what should be about a 2000 3-axis EZ Trak mill that has been setting for a several years. The machine powers up and completes the BMDC test but I cannot clear the E-Stop Alarm. The E-Stop button on the Operators Control works. The oil reservoir is full. Motor Overload isn't tripped. I've got a few other EZ Traks that I have had for about 15 years so I know my way around these machines pretty well. This one has me stumped though. I had to top off the oil reservoir before firing it up so i'm a little concerned that the Lube Level switch may not be closing. Can anyone give me some guidance on checking it or some other area that I may be overlooking? I've attached images of the BMDC card just in case I missed something on the indicator lights.IMG_9596.jpgIMG_9597.jpg
 
There should be a few circuit breakers on the right hand side of the control cabinet. Flip them all off then back on again. Does that fix it? My next guess would be wiring in the little panel to the left of the head has a loose wire, if the switch is functioning properly.

As I look at the picture more, I am curious. There is only one cable going from the BMDC to the BOB card. On a non-CIB Trak, one cable goes from the BMDC to the AXSBOB and one goes from the BMDC to the AUXBOB. It has been a while, but I am 99% sure that there should be a second cable going from the BMDC to the BOB card to the right of it.

Are any of your other Traks the CIB like this one for you to look at?

Ya, that connector that is blank is the connector that would be connecting to the AUXBOB that reads the E stop circuit. So your BMDC is just seeing an open on the E stop circuit and wont clear. Once you get that cable, you should be able to get further along in the process.
