NEWBIE - G540 Fault problem (not charge pump) - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

I'm working on getting my system up and running. I (finally) got the thing up and running with the chargepump on from what appeared to be a working MACH3 install on my computer. Nice green power light instead of the fault light indicator.

I walked away for a moment and returned to see the fault light on.

It now won't come out of fault with the chargepump on or off - parallel cable installed or not.

I should also mention that I had this problem once or twice prior to getting the charge pump signal situation resolved.

I tried some searching to see if others had the same problem but nothing popped out at me.

Any thoughts as to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.

SOLVED: In this particular case it was a bad DB9 cable - once I removed it everything seems to be in order as I'm getting movement on the other axis
