I'm working on bringing up a 1986 Quick Turn 10n/ T-2 control. Everything works fine (Servos, Turret, Robot Tool Measure Arm, Hydraulics, Tail Stock) except the spindle. When I try to run the spindle it throws the 20 NMI Emergency Stop and the 204 Spindle Controller Malfunction.
The weird thing is that when I first powered it up (I have the transformer tapped for 240 3ph), I could jog the spindle but do little else. I had to reset the parity using the #2 dip switch at the NC rack. Afterwards, I was able to run everything else but not the spindle. The Drive is getting power, I don't get any red error lights unless I try to jog the spindle (trying to "start" the spindle only brings up an "spindle misoperation" error, which is easy to clear at the control). I'm getting power to the FR-SE Drive boards, I'm getting the grean "Ready", "Speed Detection" and "Zero Speed" LED's on the drive.
With the exception of the Parity Error LED at the NC Rack that I cleared, I don't get any error lights and everything else seems fine with the control. I cleared the internal memory and reloaded the Parameters and I'm getting the same results. I have air pressure, I have the chip conveyor/Coolant/Hydraulics hooked up and functional. All the fans spin freely and run when the machine is switched on. The chuck is closed. I home X and Z.
This Mazak is new to me and I'm new to Mazak's with the exception of some light operating during my apprentice days. Do I have to have tools defined in order to jog the spindle, or run it?
I've searched the forums and I'm out of things to try. The motor spins freely, and I've gone so far as hooking it directly to a power source (after disconnecting from the control) and it run fine (and quietly).
Any direction would be greatly appreciated, I can post up any additional information that might help. I'm at my wits end.
Thanks,
