Hitachi Seiki VM40 Seicos M2 PC NOT READY ?!?!?

[vladimir1409]

Hi!

We have a big problem on a machine HITACHI SEIKI VM40 with SEICOS M2 control, year 1988,
the machine was working just fine until the battery alarm appeared on the screen 033 BATTERY ALARM
the both batteries were changed while the machine was powered off (unfortunately big mistake)
now on the screen all we have is:
at first BUBBLE READ
and then after a few seconds
PC NOT READY
SEICOS
mark 2
when we press NC/PC and then IINPUT the messages on the screen are:
SUM CHECK ERROR SEQUENCER NOT READY
BATTERY ALARM PLEASE CHANGE

We found some procedure for overcoming this status on the machine
the procedure that we are trying to conduct is:

1. Press F1(SEQUENCE) ->Press F2(DATASET) -> Press F4(TABLE) -> You will see “Constance Byte Table 1
2. Type 0 0 (in the 1. 00) -> Press INPUT -> You will see Parameter Write Enable SW On ---------------
--------we are blocked on this step
it seems that the two switchers one on the back of the control panel and the other one in the electronics cabinet named as "MAINT"
are affecting the procedure and we don't know the state in which either of the switchers should be ON or OFF ?(here we need suggestions, advises...)
the procedure goes on as follows,
3. Turn on WRITE ENABLE SW that is on MICON16-2 board in control panel
4. Press F6(END). -> You will see Write Enable SW Off
5. Turn off WRITE ENABLE SW
6. Press F6(END) -> Press F1(SEQUENCE) ->Press F3(PROGRAM) -> You will see Parameter Write Enable SW On
7. Turn on WRITE ENABLE SW that is on MICON16-2 board in control panel
8. You will see top line of ladder automatically
9. Press F2(ALTER) -> You will see ___(Cursor) on screen.
10. Press F4(STORE) -> Press INPUT.
11. Press F6(END) -> You will see Write Enable SW Off
12. Turn off WRITE ENABLE SW
13. Turn off NC power -> Turn on NC power

We are asking a confirmation if this is the right procedure to overcome this status on the machine
and after this we are assuming that the parameters should be loaded
we have a backup of the original parameters,
but if we need to load anything else please advise,
also we are asking for information about the positions of the two switcher mentioned at step 2,

If this is not the right procedure please let us know in order not to do it and make thing worst than the are,
and point us for the right procedure in step by step if possible,

Thank you all in advance,

Regards,
