Hello,
I am in Kalamazoo, Michigan, 18" of snow and 9 degrees may as well work on a machine.
I talked to the Multicam distributor for the area today, and was able to spend about 20 minutes with a tech. He said the reason the command pendant or console in this case is not working is the board that is in it, or one of the two chips on it is faulty, or the 5.09 volt supply from the main controller is out of adjustment or shot. I am hoping it is a chip or the voltage supply because the board is not available and to do any replacing would require an extensive and expensive upgrade. I would probably switch to a cmsoft controller if this is the case.
If anybody knows of old Multicam controller consoles let me know.
What should I expect to run into if replacing the controller turns out to be the best option, and between Camsoft and Wincnc which is easier to retrofit, which is the better unit?
Thanks,
Joe |
