After approx. 10 years sitting dormant in my small shop at home I now have my FP3NC running again.
The first error was no communication coming back from the CNC to the PC and the monitor remaining dark. This was a bad or non-compatible NPP55.
This allowed the CNC side to come up, but the machine would not start, even with all Bosch cards removed. I was stumped, but stumbled over a posting by Professor Emeritus Ross C., recommending to fill up the way oil tank.
This I would not have thought of.
Indeed the tank was at minimum, so I filled up. It then threw an FP02, which I could cancel and then it started up!
It does not yet want to shift and it turns the wrong way, that seems trivial. Right now its warming up.
Example of storage oddities: the cabinet fan was running even with door open because the contact switch was stuck in the closed position for so long, it got used to it and would not disengage.
It slept so long I feel like gently waking it.
On edit:
30 min later.
Damn, celebrated too early. Same problem again.
