Need help Manuals and software for Arrow 500 Acramatic controller

[tim.coddington]

Hi,
It's been a long time coming but I've finally taken possession of a used Arrow 500 with Acramatic controller. I believe the label tells me it's a 1997 model. I need manuals and software. It appears I have some binders with schematics but once I realized it wasn't the manuals I needed I set them aside to look.

From reading other Arrow 500 posts, I expected to find a hard disk, but all I see is a 3.5" floppy mounted thru the door.

I don't know anything about CNC machines, or anything about a mill this big. I want to get it up and running and setup CAD software to work with it.

Please help me understand the challenge I'm up against, how I can proceed to get the missing pieces, etc.

Other than missing pieces, I'm confident that it's in good shape with relatively low hours. The gentlemen I bought it from had a partner who left with missing pieces, e.g. software and manuals. It appears he did a good job preparing it for transportation and storage before hand. In anticipation of delivery, I've prepared my shop with 3ph power and a special room with A/C etc.

Would appreciate any constructive advice you want to give...Thanks in advance.

Here's what I pulled off the label on the back panel:

Product Arrow 500
Model No. ER0
Control -AC Volt: 115
AC Volt -208/230/380/415/460 3Ph Hz: 60
DC Volt: 24

Control Diagram(s): 91203095
Serial No.:7042 A0A 97 1567
Overcurrent Protection At Supply Terminals: Yes
DC Major FLI:
Major KVA: 25

What does ER0 mean?
What else does the Serial number tell us?

Thanks again.

Look on Ebay for the manuals or you may be able to still order them from MAG.

I found several manuals at following link but they refer to the ERM model. What's the difference between ERO and ERM?
