The 404 alarm is something to do with the state of the input VRDY being ON, before it should be .

The Fanuc needs to see that the drives have switched OFF, before it will turn them on.
It will also know if safety circuit has been overridden to be permanantly ON

My guess is that whoever fiddled with it has forced something (like a relay or switch) ON all the time ?
