This one has me perplexed.
I can jog all axis. All voltages are good. Changed the power supply
just to make sure. When it tries to cold start, the axis do their jiggle
and then it just sits and thinks, and then tells me "problems positioning
slides to zero".
The thing is I can move the axis off of zero, and they all come back to zero,
and then nothing.
Timeline.
It did this once back in december. ONCE, the second CS, and it was fine.
Then in January, it happened again, it took about 3 or 4 CS's to get her
happy.
Then the next time I went to fire it up. It took several hours before it
would CS. During that time, I obviously shut it down completely a bunch
of times, and re-seated all the boards and everything else. Still was
being pissy, then just all of a sudden worked.
I hadn't shut it down since then, just park her and e-stop her overnights
and weekends, but we had a power blip this weekend. So now I need to
fire her up again, and she is not cooperating.
I called ITS tech support and they didn't know. Guy was supposed to call
me back and never did. I probably should try again..
Once it does CS, it runs perfect.
Any ideas???
