The Di/DS screen will not show the DATC turret switch. Go to Enter Next Command and enter DI and then DD. This gives you the DATC screen Select option for the sensor status screen.

Arm will not move with #3 and #4...bucket moves fine and turret rotates. We hear the clicking from the 1330 card in the back and what appears to be an overload relay moving in and out...not quite sure what it is. Interlock is hooked up. We show a ATC communication error with 1330 card. Right now I suspect the card but I dont know what else to check.

Arm will not move and has not since we got this in

verfy that the head is at tool change position. Lookfor the LED on the 1330 card for Head at tool change.

Found light was not on and we jumped sensor wire and triggered tool change. Found sensor is bad and will replace. Now we have to adjust tool changer in X axis to agree with spindle after we replace the sensor. Neal you are a great help thank you for checking with theonline group on a Saturday!

You lost me here! What does the X axis have to do with the tool change? If you meant the Z axis, the sensor going bad should not have changed the physical position of the tool change zero! The sensor needs to be adjusted to match the Z zero position!!
