Re: cyclone tu150e

I may stand corrected and now think it is a DM8 , I did find a drawing in some older posts on here . I took the cover off the electrical wiring machined box and it looks good inside . I will continue to investigate.

Re: cyclone tu150e

Well I have made leaps and bounds in getting the lathe to do something. The current problem is the tool turret will not turn. When I go "Home" and then "jog" to type in the tool number all I can hear is a humming like its trying to turn , but no such luck. Would anyone have experience in this matter...

Re: cyclone tu150e

Well got the screen to come up , its the tutorial screen , and now the keyboard doesn't seem to respond. So have to check that out. The keyboard that I plugged into the side of the cabinet works in order to bring up the setup screen on the Denford monitor but nothing form the qwerty tutor board. Do ...

Re: cyclone tu150e

We checked the power like Martin has said to do and it checked out, also pulled the cards numerous times and reinserted. The monitor screen does show a glow, but nothing else. You can see the glow especially when you shut it down as it goes out like an old TV. I just think I am doing something stupi...

Re: cyclone tu150e

I think I have been doing this all wrong. I have found out that I am supposed to have a security key/ dongle which I do not have. Is there a way around this? The machines serial number is EO5266. What would be the current software to use for a Cyclone . Am I asking the right question ? Mike

Re: cyclone tu150e

Like I said Martin you are alright. I do have 1 long and 3 short beeps. I will be checking the power here soon and see what I get. If there is anything wrong I do have the cabinet from the triac and it looks like the power supply is the same , the model numbers are the same. I have tried contacting ...

Re: cyclone tu150e

I see in my last post I said the fan comes on in the computer, I should have said the fan in the computer power supply comes on. So I would think its alright, but maybe its not ?

Re: cyclone tu150e

I am in Illinois about 70 miles south of Chicago. I do have the fan runs in the computer and actually all the fans come on, the work light also comes on . I get an audible alarm or a buzzer that sounds for a few seconds. I think all the power lights come on in the back. The screen also comes on but ...

Re: cyclone tu150e

Here is a picture of the back. Is there something missing ? I added the pictures but look please at the one with the 2 yellow circles. Should these 2 connectors be jumper-ed together as they look to be in the triac vmc cabinet. Thank you
