long time lurker but never had a cnc before so i've never posted, and as the title says just got my hands on a sl-3a w/ 2000g controller. i have a couple of issues/concerns with the machine. this is my first cnc machine so not really sure what is normal or not (i've operated a miyano a few times before so not ENTIRELY new, but pretty close)
the machine zeroes out the position whenever i cycle the power, is this normal? it seems to me this would make setting g50 a bit more difficult when going from setup to setup?
the z-axis won't return to home, it gives an error code 22 for zero return area error, but no matter where i jog the machine to on the z-axis, it will give this code. the previous owner said he had a tech come out and replace a board and i think the home limit switch as well (the wires are spliced so i assume they did), but still no dice. hoping anyone here might be able to shed some light.
also the machine came with the GIF02 board and i was hoping somebody knows the communication protocols/settings?
that's all i can remember right now. any help would be greatly appreciated! :D
