We have recently bought Utas ( Osai A-B 8600 Control )cnc Milling Machine with an OSAI – Allen Bradley 8600 control system. This unit when purchased by us was not working
We are kindly request help in guiding us to sort out the below mentioned problem.( We change the battery cause the one we get it in the control was totaly Empty)

When the machine is powered on the following messages are shown on the screen:

SERIES 8600 ver 3.0
DISC????
BUBBLE????
CMOS????
EPROM????

***INIT ABORTED***
I think we have to enter the Machine Parameters?
As we don’t have the maintenance manual for this Mc – could you kindly assist us as to what “inputs” have to be entered for the details mentioned above? Where in your view might the problem be ?
Are there any 8600 manuals ( service – troubleshooting – maintenance – programming ) - available –
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated & helpful.

Many Thanks in advance,

Regards

Hi,

If you didn't solve the problem yet:

it looks like your system files are lost. First of all you have to check the batteries on the cards of the controller, and change them if necessary.

then you have to reload all data. The system files you can find on the floppy disk that was supplied with the machine. You will also need a cable for transfer.

If you have problems, you can send me an PM, or an e-mail at: clau_campan@yahoo.com
