HI EVERYONE.
I HAVE WORKED SOLID FOR ABOUT FOUR WEEKS NOW AND FINALLY MY
MACHINE MOVED ITS SERVO'S ON X AND Z AXES.
I ALMOST WENT TROUGH THE ROOF BUT MY JOY WAS SHORT LIVED.
I JOGED THE AXES AND PLAYED WITH THE MANUAL PULSE GENERATOR
FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR.
THEN I NOT HAVING A PROGRAMMING AND SETUP MANUAL CHANGED OR DELETED SOME PARAMMETERS.
THAT WAS THE LAST TIME THAT ANY AXAS MOVED AND I HAVE BEEN CRYING
EVER SINCE. NO POWER OUTPUT TO SERVO MOTORS.
THE CONTROL IS A FANUC 6T AND THE YEAR IS 1980.
MACHINE NO IS TAUNY0082.

COME ON IT IS ONLY 30 YEARS OLD SOMEBODY MUST STILL BE AROUND THAT CAN HELP ME RECOVER THE PC AND OTHER SETUP PARAMMETERS.
THE 2 VELOCITY DRIVES POWER UP AND GO TO GREEN LED VREDDY STATE.
AS SOON AS I JOG THE DRO RUNS TO ABOUT 6.000 AS SET IN MACHINE
PARAMMETER 078 AND 079 AND THEN TRIP OUT BOTH VELOCITY DRIVES.
THEN I RESET AND BOTHE DRIVES AGAIN REDDY.

PLEASE ANYONE HELP

Are the servo's moving when you are jogging?
If 078 & 079 are set for the equivalent of 6.00 (mm?).
And the axis do not move then this is the amount of position error.

NO SIR NO SERVO MOVEMENT.JUST ERROR 411 AND 421 AS THE DRIVES
TRIPPED OUT.
THEN I RESET AND VREDDY BOTH DRIVES.
THERE WAS MOVEMENT AND ALL WAS FINE THE ONE MOMENT AND
THEN I PUNCHED IN SOMETHING OR DELETED ANS NO MORE SERVO OUTPUT.
THERE WAS NO SIGHN OF ANY SORT OF FALURE LIKE NOISE OR SMOKE
OR EVEN LIGHTS DIMMING.
I MESSED UP THE PARAMMETERS I THINK.
THE MACHINE PARAMMETERS I WROTE DOWN 0 TO 166 BEFORE THIS HAPPEN
BUT NOT THE SET AND PC PARAMMETERS.

ANYWAY SIR I HOPE YOU CAN HELP OR KNOW WHO HAS SAME MACHINE AS
MINE THAT CAN HELP WITH PAREMMETERS AND SETUP.

When you power up can you turn the servo's by hand?
If so it appears you do not have power on the servo drives, or they are disabled?
I only have the Fanuc 6T Maintenance manual, have you tried to contact Takisawa direct by email?
Al.

[terminator]

NO SIR NO STIFNESS ON THE BALLSCREWS WHEN I MOVE THEM BY
HAND POWER ON.
ALL THAT HAPPEN ON BOTH AXES WHEN I MOVE BALLSCREW IS AS
ENCODERS PIC UP MOVEMENT THE VELOCITY DRIVES TRIP OUT.
THE 3PHASE POWER IS ON FOR BOTH MOTORS (60V AND 90V) TROUGH THE
CONTACTORS ON TO THE TYRISTOR MODULES.
ON THE MOTOR OUTPUT SIDE NO RESPONSE ON DC MULTIMETER.
I HAVE CHECKED ALL FUSES AND INFACT HAVE NOT BLOWN ONE FUSE
SINCE I STARTED ON THE MACHINE.

IS THE PC PARAMMETERS REALY SO DEDICATED TO ONE MACHINE OR ARE THEY FLEXABLE.
I ALSO HAVE A FANUC MANUAL BUT THEY ONLY EXPLAIN THE CONTROL PAR
SET PAR AND DIAGNOS PARAM.
IS THERE INFO ON PC PARAM THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND AND TRY TO WORK
THEM OUT MY SELF.
I WILL TRY TAKISAWA KINK THANKS.

What do you mean by PC parameter?
Al.

[terminator]

SIR IN MY MANUAL ON PAGE 112 AND 113 THEY TALK ABOUT (PC).
POWER SEQUENCE CONTROL.
MY RECEARCH INDICATE THAT THE PC PARAMMETERS ARE SET BY THE
MACHINE MANUFACTURER (TAKISAWA).
FANUC CANT HELP ME AS THIS IS DEDICATED TO THIS MACHINE NO. YEAR AND MODEL.
THEY ALL SAY I MUST FIND A MACHINE EXACTLY LIKE MINE AND RECORD
PC PARAMMETERS BY HAND AND PUT THEM IN MY MACHINE.

REGARDS

The PC in this case is what is now called the PMC, this is the machine control program that communicates with the NC side to control external machine functions, the bits can be seen in the diagnostic list of I/O.
The next section is details of these dedicated I/O assignments, if your machine has a PC then the diagnostics are 000~063 for physical I/O and 064~118 for PMC-CNC communication.
For example 033 bit #6 is *SVFX, servo off, the '*' means it is active low.
All these can be monitored on the diagnostic screen.
