Still; I think I am at the next stage now, where I check everything on the computer, and work my way through the set up, repairing, anything I have done wrong. I hope all you good folk can help, I sure will need it.
So the power is on, no big bangs, I have checked the 415V, 240V, 200V, 100V, 24VDC, and the DC outputs for the X-Z drive motors. They are not all as I expected, the rectified DC for the axis motors seem very low, but I will address that later. On to looking at the "real time" screen and it seems I should have inputs 1 - 11 green. I have not used the 7 & 8 inputs, so I put jumpers on these. I then have 0 to 9 green, and 11 green. But 10 is red, even though the circuit is OK and there is 24V at the input. This is the inverter OK input. Does this mean I have a fault with the equipment, or could something else cause the light to be red, even though I have the 24 V signal, at the terminal?
I am retrofitting a lathe, with inverter spindle motor and X-Z DC axis motors via Ajax AC/DC 30 amp drivers.
Thanks for reading, all feed back is much appreciated. Regards, Colin
