The first problem: I can't get any toolchange related commands to work in MDI mode except for toolpot vertical and horizontal and the interlock bypass commands. Trying to move the arm with M80-81 doesn't work. The control simply hangs up and doesn't respond to cycle start.
The second: I can't even get the tool magazine to set numbers or index the tools using the panel on the side of the machine.
Before this happened I lost all my parameters and programs and had to reset them. The batteries failed after sitting in storage for a while. The toolchanger worked back then, although I'm not sure if the two are related.
I'm at a loss here. Can anyone help me muddle through this?
Thanks,
Will
