Hi every one,
We have a mazak quick slant 20 equipped with a Mazatrol CAM T4. I had to change the memory card because the COM port stopped working. Since then, I managed to get the COM port to work again, but I can't get the machine to work anymore.
The maintenance manual says that if it is not going in ready mode and there are no errors then to replace the FX61 card. I tried to change the two of them with a couple of spare ones we have but it did not solved the problem.
I made a lot of efforts to find the problem and there are two things that are bugging me :
The procedure to re-initialize the memory says we need to configure the hidden parameters (called MAKER PARAMETERS on my parameter setting list) but I can't find it. I am able to access it on a CAM T3 we have, but not on this CAM T4.
The other thing I found is by going in the diagnostic page, the program seems to be on Pause. I can read the inputs properly as, for example, the bit 6 on address 165 is the Emergency stop button. I see that it is changing on screen according to the button's state. This bit should activate the bit 1 on address 44 but it never does. Same thing for the "Ready" bit where all conditions are ''ON'', but the "Ready" status never changes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
JM
