My Hardinge VMC600II uses a Siemens 810D control. To get the machine out of it's previous home, a tech removed the Z axis servo to clear a (very low) bay door. He replaced the servo immediately on clearing the door. That's our guess as to the cause of the problem.
Now, the machine will not home or move the Z axis at all, and the error is "Wait: Axis enable missing". I have a tech out here currently that is very familiar with the Hardinge machines, just not with the Siemens controls. He's checked the Z axis servo connections and everything looks good.
I searched online and found reference to setting a PLC bit, but I'm not finding that currently. Does anyone know Siemens and have any ideas?
