Can anyone help with my problem? I have a Fanuc ArcMate 100 running off an old RJ controller. When I start up the controller, the Teach Pendant (TP) screen is stuck showing only some information about the controller with the words "TEACH PENDANT READY" at the bottom. It doesn't want to continue to go to the Utilities screen which it normally does. What's also unusual is the LED lights on the left side of the TP (i.e. FAULT, HOLD, STEP, etc.) are all on and staying on (See attachment "Image1.jpg").
When I look in the controller cabinet, the Main CPU has a couple of red alarm status lights that are on (See attachment "Image2.jpg"). I don't have a manual to interpret the meaning of the red lights.
I cannot even start the unit up in a "control start" because the TP is always starting up in this way with none of the keys responding when I try to initiate a control start.
Because we bought this robot used, I can't get anywhere with Fanuc because the robot isn't "registered" under our company name. They want to charge us around $2k just to get it registered before they can offer any help.
Anyone have an ideas or suggestions as to why this might be happening?
I appreciate any help anyone can give.
Thanks!
