Hi all,
So, I have a FP5NC which I am trying to get fired up, and I can't seem to get the screen to light up. When I throw the power switch I get a whole bunch of LED's lit up in the cabinet, but nothing on the console lights up. I think from the instruction manual that I just need to press the green power on switch, but it doesn't respond. I am hypothesizing it may be an E-stop problem, as the machine came with one MPG pendant, and two other pendants that just have an E-stop and Cycle start/stop and I *think* tool hold and release buttons. The MPG pendant connects to the bottom of the control console, but I cannot find where the other two pendants are supposed to connect. (so I am assuming the machine is seeing an E-stop circuit open, and not turning on.) Step the first, does anyone know where those other two pendants are supposed to connect? In the manual it doesn't address them. There is one cannon plug on the right side of the column but the conductors look to be in different spots than they are in on the cannon plugs for the E-stop pendants, and also the locking part of the plug on the machine side is stripped out so I can't check to see if the keyed portion of either pendant fits it properly.
Can I tell what is holding it up by the led's in the PC portion?
Thanks for any help, I do have the book, but it really doesn't address what to do when the screen doesn't light up and give you an error message...
