On QX141, there are 2 led on top and 2 on the bottom side. ie QX141-1 LED 1 and LED 2 status and QX721/722 LED1 and LED 2 status ?
Hey guys,
I have a meldas 500 on a Daewoo Puma 6S that occasionally will turn on, usually it doesnt. When I hit NC power and it does nothing (it might beep and I can hear the icecube relay in the controller click). Sometimes the screen goes all orange but doesn't display anything. I have tried all the easy stuff like reseating the boards and checking for damage. The QX141-1 unit has one red led (deep inside on one of the small pcbs attached to the main pbc).
It looks like I have good power but some random short causing this issue. But I know little about the Mitsubishi control so any help is appreciated.
The battery tested at 3v.
Thanks in advance!
David

LED 1 is red LED 2 is green.
I believe the issue is on the 141 board. I will likely buy a board on ebay or send it in for service w/ mits. Ebay is 800-1200 and service is 1200. Part of me wants to try to fix the board myself, the issue is I do not see any bad traces or obvious problems so I would just be guessing.
There may be multiple cause for LED 1 red watch dog alarm
1) Please remove all the input out put cards (QX531) and then power on the machine to check if LED 1 is still red or not.
2) Need to remove QX521 / QX524 to check if LED 1 changes or not. In case the QX521 has an additional memory PCB QX423/QX424 mounted on it, then please do not carry out this step.
The new QX141 does not come with QX423 and QX721 normally. This has to be removed from old QX141 and replace it into new. The LED 1 red, can also be caused due to malfunctioning of QX423 or QX721 as well.
What are the LED status on all the drives?
Do you have the complete machine backup ?
1) Please remove all the input out put cards (QX531) and then power on the machine to check if LED 1 is still red or not.
>I do not have a 531 card
From left to right I have a QX084, QX141-1, QX521, QX533
2) Need to remove QX521 / QX524 to check if LED 1 changes or not. In case the QX521 has an additional memory PCB QX423/QX424 mounted on it, then please do not carry out this step.
>QX521 removal does not turn off watchdog led on the QX721.

>Good point. I also am hesitant to send the QX141 in as it will loose parameters.
What are the LED status on all the drives?
>See attached picture. Drives read 6 (or b), AA and AA.
Do you have the complete machine backup ?
>I believe so. When the machine started failing I backed up parameters. Attached with pictures. I have never backed up mitsubishi parameters before so idk if they are correct.
I have also gotten two errors recently that I never got before, once after I tried to "machine ready" once during boot I believe. One was Illegal Instruction one was address error.
With 533 removed the red led 1 on 721 turns on with NC power, turns off for a second, then turns back to solid red.
With 521 removal the red led on 721 is lit solid red as soon as NC power is on and stays solid red no blinking.
The red watchdog led on 721 has been lit for a while even when the machine seemed to be working right.
With regards to machine backup, I only have the one file that was attached in my last post. I believe it is the parameters I do not know if the ladder and fix cycles are included. To have access to the tool you mentioned I assume a Mitsubishi tech would have to come onsite?
Thanks for your help!

Mitsubishi technician would be required taking the offline backup. I guess maybe the QX721 card is malfunctioning. How about the NC unit fan. Is it working properly or drawing more current?
Hi
solved the problem, I have the same problem MELDAS 515LWY in my machine I have installed QX084, QX141 internal QX423 AND QX722, QX521, QX539. I have no video signal and QX722 led1 lit red watchdog on all the time.
With the LED 1 of the QX722 I cannot reset the memory. when I remove the QX722 the relays turn on, PLC starts I can reset the eeprom but I don't have video of the software
I am not familiar with the M500, but I know on the M3xx series of controls, the control will not power on if the RS232 is shorted somewhere. This can happen if you have an incorrectly wired adapter, often known as a gender bender, or similar device. If you are having power issues, I would suggest that you temporarily remove all serial cables. If possible, I would do this all the way back at the control.
