I have gotten an alarm when trying to move my X axis after start up at the beginning of the day. This has happened 2 times in 3 days I can hit the reset but it keeps happening and then suddenly clears each time the machine has operated fine all day afterwards. Today when it happened I could jog y and z axis but as soon as i tried jogging X it would alarm out. I didn't think I was going to get it going this morning I reset it probably 6 times I could hear a sound coming from the area of the X axis servo and it would alarm out. I noticed if I moved it only 1 graduation with the pendent it would move .010" I did this about 5 times one step at a time then it worked fine. Anyone know of something to check? The first time it happened 2 days ago I took off the way covers to make sure nothing was wrong and checked the connection to make sure it was not loose at the servo. Everything was pretty clean so I put it all back together and like today it suddenly started working again. I have tried shutting everything down and re-starting but that does not change anything. I am praying it works tomorrow I have so much work to get done in the next month.
Control is Siemens 828D the machine is a 2014 year model.
One more thing when trying to move the X axis when it was alarming I got an X axis overload alarm part of the time otherwise it just said X axis alarm. The X axis was not near either of the limits of travel.
