alberto...
is the machine in Move/Cut mode?

[alberto mogrovejo]

Hi gary yes is in move/cut mode

Check that setting VN Switch 4 stop is set to 'NRM Closed' and hasn't somehow changed.

If you hit the stop button, reset it, then press reset does the relay 'clack'? I've heard of people having trouble with stuck relay once in a while.

The other possibility is a break in your stop switch wiring. It's a normally closed circuit so any break in the wiring is just like the stop switch being triggered.

Hi Ken
I checked VN switch 4 is set to "NRM CLOSED"
The relay "clack" O.K.
The wiring O.K.

There were two contactors in mine that both had to (clack). It is possible that only one of them are (clacking)

You have to look inside with the power on and then hit the blue button. If there are two of them between the incomming power and the Drivers, they both have to pull in when that button it pushed.

If your e-stops were bad, I don't think you would hear anything when you pushed the blue button.

Hi Kenneth
I don't see the contactors but pushing the blue button I hear 2 (clacks) and the drivers z and x left side goes on (GREEN LIGHT) the other 2 are off, I don't know if works that way

[ken_rychlik]

All of the drivers should have the green lights on.

The gay who wiring the machine just tell me he put the 2 black wires to 220 and he turn on the machine make sounds like (popcorn) later he change to 110 do you think this action damage the drives and the main board

[ken_rychlik]

He either blew the fuses in the control box, or burned something up. On mine one fuse goes to all four drives. Check all fuses first.

The main cable on mine takes 220 volts, but they are not all the same. Some are wired for 3 phase as well.

You may need to send the control box back to shopbot for repair.

I think you need a new electrician too.
