So i've got everything on my machine repaired or rebuilt, ready to put it in service and i get a new error code pop up. Machine is a 96 Fadal 4020. I can input M3S500 to start spindle warm up and 3-4 seconds into it, the spindle and motor kick off with a "motor overload - error # 2" code. its continuous. Have moved the card, plugged and unplugged, etc... to no avail. Yesterday I thought about turning the magnet off to see if that would do anything. I input M3.1S500, spindle starts turning, and keeps turning!! ok, so i've got somewhere. Can anyone tell me more on this. With magnet off, it will operate fine. Magnet on gives an error #2. So is it a bad magnet, or spindle motor encoder?? I'm close, but not sure which piece needs replaced. Thanks!
