Need Help!- Conquest 42 Parameter Problems

[ToolBreaker]

I have a conquest 42 lathe that we just replaced the main board on. The problem is that we dont have the 900 parameters for the machine, we have a set of "Standard 900 Parameters" from hardinge, and with some tweaking Ive managed to get it to come up and the main control panel to be responsive, but I cannot get past a 401 SERVO ALARM (VRDY OFF) error. I also notices that on the servo amp I do not have a DRDY light which i suppose is the ready light for the board. We do have all of the other parameters in for the machine and I think that one of the 900 parameters will cause the servo amp to go into a ready state, but i have no clue which one it is. Does anyone have a key for the 900 parameters for a fanuc 0tb control or any idea which one would do this?

Any help would be GREAT
Thanks

Call Hardinge 1-800-843-8801 and ask for service. They will pass you along to a tech. Give them the serial number from your machine (found by opening the door in front where the brake is; look to the right). They will give you the option codes (900 codes) that are registered for that machine.

Tried that, they dont even have a copy of the 900 parameters.... somehow they are not in their system, the only thing they said was to have a tech come down from hardinge to re-create the machine. Thats what im trying to avoid. Hardinge techs are $$$$$$$$$$

I don't understand that. I just went through basically the same thing; I had to wipe out all my memory, parameters, diagnostic words, etc. Hardinge put me in touch with a tech who had all the options listed for my particular machine. He helped me with what to put where to get all the params back to stock, and I was up and running in an afternoon. Don't fool around with the front desk people; ask for service right away.

I've already spoke to 3 people from hardinge and 2 from Fanuc, i'm ready to set this thing on fire

Did you get this running? I'm not aware of any option parameters that would cause this and would first look to make sure everything was wired back up right after the mother board was replaced.

You said you had all the parameters for the machine? Is there any way possible you could send them to me? Ive deleted the control parameters and have 417, 427, & 437 servo alarms going off.

I have the 900 parameters for the exact machine (located in the power box)(hardinge conquest 42 w/bar feeder and subspindle and live tooling), if thats what your looking for...

Hello,

I have a Hardinge ST25, 0t control. when we are putting a small command to run the main spindle

M03 S200...cycle start we are getting this alarm 15. any one knows why as we are trying to move the spindle, we purchased this machine and finished with the home setup.

thanks,
Samy

Try this:
G97 S200 M03

Hi newc,

thanks for your suggestion we tried that but verified in the G code screen that we don't have G97.

But I think we are having a communications problems or a parameters problem. We are getting Alarm 15 and Alarm27 - M19 ACTIVE NO S ALLOWED the typical cause from the hardinge manual states "Spindle speed command is not allowed when spindle orient is active"

We pressed M18 - Spindle Orient OFF but I don't believe this is not communicating correctly.

we verified that the pin is not out (is Pin in commanded by M18 and Pin Out commanded by M19, right?)

Is this a communications probelm or parameters or what is it???

thanks,
Samy
