About Power to the Machine Control Board

The machine won't come out of reset mode if the Machine Control Board doesn't have power (as indicated by a red Power LED on the Machine Control Board). This is probably due to a:

  • De-energized machine
  • Defective Emergency Stop switch circuit
  • Defective fuse F1 (on the Machine Control Board)
  • Defective Machine Control Board
  • Defective start switch circuit

To determine why the Machine Control Board doesn't have power, examine the LEDs on the axes drives. If there's a green Power LED, the axes drives have power through contactor C1, which means that contactor C1 is latched and functioning properly.
