I know this is a Mach # question but you can go days there without an answer and I know you guys probably know this.

I have a yellow light flashing on the main screen that says

"Abnormal Condition"

Normally I guess it's supposed to be Green. I have my Homing Switches working and reading the correct way. I have saved the profile.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I've seen this... i just cant remember what it was.... lemme think on it for a while and i'll get back to ya..

This is what i've discovered about it ! First, set the normal condition. Meaning, going through normal process to achieve ready to run status. then open the link from menu at top of screen and down list you will see "Set Normal Condition" click it then Mach remembers what Normal condition is for later. There are a number of items which have influence on the feature but i don't have a list, but you can put curser over the blinking light and it will tell you why it is flashing.

I want to thank you for that little tidbit. There is no "HELP" on the subject in MACH 3 and it is not covered in the Book/manual.

Thanks again,

Smitty

A point i forgot to mention also is that if normal cond is set at constant velocity & it is changed in prog code for exact stop that it will start blinking again. don't panic tho, as it will stop as soon as the feature is reverted back ! there may be other items similar to this that can cause it to blink and it is just saying that something is not in agreement with the same state that was enforced when it was set to normal. It bugged me for a while till i figured out this point. It is still reletively new and i'm sure that with mach's growth it will grow too. It is handy for catching code errors that could otherwise slip by. Keep up with the updates and look for the changes. Be sure to save off your mach.xml everytime you make an improvement or change, there is another one for the tools and WPO's too but at this time i don't remember what or where it is, Just a little CRS ! which is a good reason to save the files !
