Hey Folks.
L33ERM, V33.12
I'm having an issue with a machine that I built.
I converted a an old 4 headed Pneumatic Filler to Servo with a set of AB Servo motors and Tolomatic, ball screw linear actuators.
The machine itself works perfectly and until we took it to test in production, it was flawless. So we have it all ready in the production schedule and we put it in place. I power it up and immediately notice that I cant home any of my axis.
I connect my computer and quickly find that there is a "Not Synchronized" on my Group Status tab. I ended up pulling the machine from production and putting it back in the shop a bit digested with the whole situation.....
Now this AM, back in the shop. I power the machine up to find the exact same situation. So I power cycle it again and the same issue, not synchronized. This time I download, it works perfectly, can home after the download.
So I power cycle it again. After the 3 successful power cycle and re-homing, another power cycle gets me back to the Not Synchronized issue. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to when it happens, its just random. Of course it would happen when all the folks are there to get trained on the new machine.... They think its a POS now and haven't even seen it run.
Any suggestions on what could be causing this Group Not Synchronized Issue or how to rectify?
I will say, that I have my Ethernet connected directly from the first Kinetix to one of the ports on the L33ERM. The first Kinetix jump to the other three from their own ethernet ports.
