Hi guys, thank you for the information, hmm, when i meant the machine is trying to home, could it be that it is trying to jog to its original settings, i remember that it used to do this as soon as you switched it on, it would jog slightly. I will get some photos up soon. I will give all the cards a...

hi, yes it has a limit switch by i've manually moved it into a position where it is not activating the switch. When i press the override button, it does try to go home, even when the machine is not linked to the PC I have tried to home the machine while pressing the button, but it says that it is no...

Hi all, I've got a mirac that i had a few problems a couple of years ago but got it all up a running, It's been standing still for over a year now, i switched it on but doesn't reset/home - if i click the axis override button i can hear/see the stepper motors trying to move, i can freely move them o...

lol, its alive.. mu hahahahaha... lol well for anybody who has a mirac and has a problem similar to this, i'll try to put a sort of guide to what i did and how i got it to work... As Mr Magoo correctly suggested it was all to do with the inverter. You can use any inverter that is compatiable with th...

ITS ALIVE... WOOOOOOOOOOO

ALIVE I TELL YOU.... lol

its working.. woo...

i'll post what it was in abit, going to go run the machine.
THank you all for all you help, couldnt have done it with out you all.

Hello all, sorry been really busy being a book hog and reading up on electronics and all about inverter etc... I realised that there is definatly more then meets the eye. lol I found out that the guardmaster began to somehow change the +15Volts to 0V... Now, i've managed to re-wire it so it doesnt d...

hello once again :) I checked the voltage against 13 nd 19 as you said and im getting 0V. There isnt a switch like on the old drive. Most of the paramters where identical, i cant find the parameters for op.. But whilst looking at the machine today, i noticed that on the eurocard, it kept changed fro...

Hiya mate, cheers for the advice, i managed to pick up a guardmaster pretty cheap and replaced the old one... but unfortunatly, the old one and new one behave in the same way... so the guardmaster theory is out of the window... I've been able to suss out bits of it very slowly with all help from the...

hello *sigh* yet another day trying to fix the good old mirac.... thought it might be the guardmaster... now im not sure... but the spindle drive is working now, and it shows noP.... wires 48 check out, as do 79... i've noticed that the E-stop switch doesnt release the solenoid no more since i put i...

Hello again. I check all the connecters and they seem to be well connected. I traced the wire which you mentioned, physcially and on the wiring diagrams. I think this should it should be as follows: Connecter 23 Wire Number 48 connects into this connecter. This wire goes directly to the terminals It...

Hello again, i've been checking the parameters and as you said, most of them are correct not to mention read only. now i've noticed one other fact that is, that the KEB shows noP 'no operation' and it should show LS 'low speed. The difference betwee the two is:- noP : - No Operation: Control release...

Thank you for your reply,

i'll try this out now.

*fingers crossed*

Hi Mr Magoo. Thank you for you reply, i tried that last week and found that the spindle drive was faultly. Then i found how much it was going to cost to be replace :SHOCK HORROR: :shock: I just bought a new Spindle Drive from KEB, F4 Generation. A chap at KEB said this will work as the inputs are id...

hello?? any1 here?

Hello.
I've take some photos of the machine, hope this helps.

There maybe a fuse inside the drive - it's worth taking the covers off. thank you all for the reply's. I've taken the covers off and looked for a fuse, i can see two main fuses, although im not if i've missed one. Both of these seem to be fine. I will upload some pictures as soon as i can if this w...

Hiya, The emergency switch type is the twist type and it is released. :D Ive opened up the emergency stop button to make sure its working correctly, i found 2 mini MCB's behind it, these seems to work fine. As i push one, the ESR deactivates and as i push the other, the guardmaster activates. hope t...
