3.1.3 Hardware wiring

Installation Requirements：Switching mode power supply（24V, 3A）, it’s better to add a power supply filter to
avoid the electric field interference. If origin detecting switch is different power supply type, the special detecting
switch power supply is needed. (Recommend 24V origin detecting switching type power supply).
RichAuto-B5X control system is controlled by connecting the interface board to the CNC machine. Generally, the
interface board terminals can be divided into 2 kinds-input terminals and output terminals：
Input terminals include:
INPUT (Input signals terminal); DC24V（Main power supply terminal）
Output terminals include：
X_AXIS（X axis pulse signal output terminal & Encoder output terminal）
Y_AXIS（Y axis pulse signal output terminal）
Z_AXIS（Z axis pulse signal output terminal）
C_AXIS（C axis pulse signal output terminal）
OUTPUT（Output signal terminal）
OA（Analog signal output terminal）

17
PWM（PWM digital signal output terminal）
Input terminals
DC24V Main power supply wiring:
INPUT wiring
1. HOME signal ports：
a) Mechanical HOME switch wiring
b) NPN normally open proximity HOME switch
2. Tool-setting input port：For your attention, X4 port is tool setting port for all of the 3 axis controllers, but X4 will be
18
mechanical origin signal for the 4 axis controllers, thus X5 will be tool setting signal for 4 axis controllers.
3. Definable ports wiring：
Take X6-X8 (they are respectively configured into drive alarm, hard limit, emergency stop signal) for instance
4. Handwheel Interface wiring
19
5. SPINDLE terminal wiring
a) Stepper board
b) Servo board
20
6. Motion axis output terminals wiring
X_AXIS：X axis pulse signal wiring (Y、Z、C axis pulse signal wiring methods are the same to X axis)
Stepper drive:
Servo drive:
1） Servo axis pin definition
21
2）Brake wiring:
Yaskawa servo Σ-V series driver
First, ensure that the brake output is enabled, and then set Pn50F to 0300, and select brake signal output terminal
CN-29 and CN-30.
Wiring is as follow：
22
OUTPUT: Spindle output
1 line 2 states：Spindle start—ON；Spindle stop—OFF
Spindle ON/OFF:
Spindle State (control status):
Setting method: Enter into "spindle state", the screen displays:
Spindle Count
Press“ ”key，input digit 1 to modify the spindle line number to 1 line, and then press“ ”key,
the screen will show:
Press“ ”、“ ”keys could move the cursor up and down, press “ ”key to modify the
indicator color, as like as the figure showing above.
3 lines 8 states: Spindle start---S1—the first shift spindle speed，S2—the second shift spindle speed，Sn—the N
shift spindle speed; The screen shows “Fn” when the spindle OFF—“N” is the shift number while spindle stop.
3 lines，8 states wiring:
23
Spindle state：
Setting method: Enter into “spindle state”, the screen displays:
Press“ ”key and input digit number 3 to change the spindle lines number to 3 lines, and then
press“ ”key, the screen shows:
Press“ ”、“ ”keys could move the cursor up and down, press “ ”key to modify the indicator
color, as like as the figure showing above.
PS：In case there are some inverters internal in parallel with FWD and DCM, or the machine factory’s wiring habit
is to parallel connect inverter to FWD and DCM, then no need to connect Y1 port anymore. ONLY connect the
DCM to COM port on the OUTPUT SIGNAL of the wiring board, and also no need to set spindle state again.
ANALOG- Analog output signal wiring:
24
The spindle max. speed should be set if using analog output. The value can be set at“MENU”- “Menu function
user interface”-- “machine setup”--“spindle setup”-- “Spindle Max. Spd(speed)”；Meanwhile, modify the G code
setting at “MENU”-- “Menu function user interface”-- “auto pro setup”--“G code setup”-- “G read S code”，and then
change the setting into “Read S”. The users can configure the spindle output to Single / multiple analog or multi
shifts(multi step speed)by themselves under “System setup”-- “Function confi” -- “SpdOutpt(spindle output)”.
3.2 Debugging of machine and control system

1. Power on the system, do not return machine HOME position immediately, press “Cancel” key to enter into the main
interface first, and then access the “Menu function user interface”-“machine setup”-“Pulse equiv (equivalent)”to
input correct values. After that, press direction keys of each axis to move manually and check the motion direction
of them, if any axis motor direction is opposite to the defined direction, user can change the stepper motor phase
sequence（exchange A+ & A- or B+ & B-）or servo driver parameters(refer to the servo driver user’s manual) in order
to make the all axis motion direction correctly.
2. Set “HOME sequence” according to the defined mechanical origin position. Enter “Menu function user
interface”-“machine setup”-“Home setup” - “Home sequence”.
3. Check whether the Home sensors are working normally. Enter “Menu function user interface”-“machine
setup”-“Voltage setup”-“Input voltage setup”, and then manually trigger each HOME sensor, if the corresponding
indicator light up (change from green to red) means the Home sensor is working properly.
It can be determined the machine has been connected properly if all above steps pass the debugging.

4.2.1 Machine setup

“Machine setup” is used to set the machine hardware related parameters which is always be set by the machine
manufacturers according to their machine hardware related parameters. All of the parameters once have been set, user
had better not to modify them unless machine hardware or electrical parameters changes. Users should consult the
machine factory and modify the parameters of “machine setup” under the guidance of the technical engineer.
Machine setup menu structure
1. Pulse equivalent
Linear axis: The number of pulses required to send from the controller in every 1 mm movement of the machine.
Unit is Pul/mm;
Rotary axis：The number of pulses required to send from the controller in every 1°rotation of the machine. Unit is
pulse/degree;
1) Stepper motor drive
Linear axis:
Formula=(Number of pulse per revolution of the motor)/(moving distance per revolution of the motor)。
“Pulses per revolution” formula:（360°/ stepper angle）* driver subdivision
Distance per revolution formula:
Screw drive machine tool = Screw pitch * mechanical transmission ratio(reduction ratio)
Rack（straight）drive machine tool= rack module * gear teeth number*π*mechanical transmission ratio
(reduction ratio)
28
Rack（helical）drive = rack module*gear teeth number*π*mechanical transmission ratio(reduction
ratio)/cos（helical angle）
Pulley & belt drive = π*pulley diameter*mechanical transmission ratio(reduction ratio)
Therefore stepper motor system formula is as below：
 Screw drive:
360 °
∗Driver subdivision
pulse = Stepper angle
Screw pitch∗transmission ratio
E.g.1:Driver nameplate 1 E.g.2:Driver nameplate2 Motor nameplate/ stepper angle=1.8°

Explain: Stepper angle is the data of motor, means the angle of motor rotating for a single step. Driver subdivision is set
in the driver.
In E.g.1, Pulse/rev is Pulses per revolution of stepper motor, so that the user only needs to select a relative value
according to the actual dial code. For example: If user choose 3200 Pulse/rev, indicates (360 °/stepper angle)* Driver
subdivision=3200.
In E.g.2, the MSTEP means subdivision number. So, if the stepper angle is 1.8°, selected subdivision is 16, then
(360 °/stepper angle)* subdivision=(360°/1.8)*16=3200.
The user should use correct computational method according to the actual marks of stepper motor driver
nameplate.
Screw pitch：Represents the distance that the nut moves in one revolution of the ball screw rotation.
Transmission ratio: The ratio of the angular velocity or the rotational speed of the front wheel to the end most driven
wheel.
 Rack drive:
Straight teech:
29
360 °
×Driver subdivision
Stepper angle
pulse = rack module×gear teeth number×π×transmission ratio
Helical teech:
360 °
×Driver subdivision×cos（helical angle）
Stepper angle
pulse = rack module×gear teeth number×π×transmission ratio
Explain:
Rack module and gear teeth number are both the parameters of the rack.
Rack module*gear teeth number*Pi is the pitch circle circumference of the rack.
 Pulley & belt drive:
360 °
pulse = Stepper angle
πd×transmission ratio
Explain:
“D” represents the belt pulley diameter.
Rotary axis:
Formula = pulses per revolution / angles per revolution（360°）
360 °
Stepper angle
pulse = °×transmission ratio
Setting method： Enter into “Pulse Equiv”menu, cursor in the position of X axis pulse equivalent option,
press“ ”,“ ”key to move the cursor to the options to be modified, press“ ”key, value is in
30
modifiable state, input values by pushing digit keys, press“ ”key to save the changes. Modify X、Y、Z、A pulse
equivalents one by one, and then press“ ”key to save all changes, go back to “Pulse Equiv” menu.
No mechanical and electrical parameters situation：If the user is unable to get any mechanical and electrical
parameters, it can be calculated by the following method,
Suppose the handle pulse equivalent is ‘A’, press " " switching to “Distance” mode, set a distance value ‘B’,
then you can measure the actual moving distance ‘C’, to get the actual pulse equivalent = A × B ÷ C.
For example: Suppose handle pulse equivalent A = 400, distance B = 100, actual distance C = 80, then the actual
pulse equivalent = 400 × 100 ÷ 80 = 500
Repeat calculation for several times until you get the correct pulse equivalent value.
2) Servo motor drive
The handheld controller defaults the factory pulse equivalent value of X、Y、Z、A are all 400, it can be regarded
as a constant quantity or change a new value. Set the electrical gear ratio on the servo driver, reducible of a fraction.
Electronic gear ratio numerator: represents encoder resolution which can be achieved in the servo driver manual.
Electronic gear ratio denominator:
Linear axis:
► Screw drive：pulse equivalent * screw pitch*mechanical transmission ratio
► Straight rack：pulse equivalent*rack module*gear teeth number*π*mechanical transmission ratio
► Helical rack：pulse equivalent* rack module*gear teeth number*π*mechanical transmission ratio/cos（helical angle）
► Pulley&belt drive：pulse equivalent *π*pulley diameter*mechanical transmission ratio
Rotation axis：Pulse equivalent *360 * transmission ratio (reduction ratio)

6 B55 multi heads with cylinders motion control system

introduction
6.1 B55 combination keys
B55 combination keys are compatible with B51 and have 2 more combination function keys than
No. Combination Keys Function
1 Switch spindle manually

“ ”
2 Calculate the tool bit offset

“ ”+ “ ”
6.2 Multi tool count

Input the number of tools in this option.
69
6.3 Multi heads offset setting

6.3.1 X and Y axis direction offset
Input value directly by measuring
B55 offset setting is a bit different from A55. Here we take 2 cutters as an example to explain and surely 4 cutters
setting method is the same as 2 cutters.
In A55, no need to set the offset value of tool 1 , because it takes the position of tool 1 as reference, set tool offset
from tool 2.
B55 changes the XY offset setting method. The X and Y axis offset of the spindle 1 must be set as 0 and can't be
modified. Z axis of the spindle can be set according to the length and height of the tool. For the Z axis offset value, the
system saves the values of each Z axis mechanical coordinate.
Take X axis offset as example. Load all spindles with center pointed knife, and then double press“ ”key to
enter into Input Output port control interface, as shown below,
Move the cursor to the green circle 05 ，and then press“ ”key to enable Y5, the green circle
changes to red ，the control relay of spindle No.1 cylinder enabled, the spindle No. 1 moves down towards the
machine table. After that, press“ ”+“ ”keys to move and make Z axis tool nose just touch the part
surface and mark a point on it, press“ ”key to clear the X and Y coordinates.
70
Switching to spindle 2, before that, please manually lift up move spindle 1 and also move the cursor to Y6,
and then press button to enable Y6，it changes in red . Move the tool nose to the previous
position where tool 1 has marked a dot. If the X axis display 200.000, means the distance between tool 1 and tool 2 is
200mm, and the X axis offset input value should be set as -200.000
6.3.2 Z axis direction offset

Stressed: First, lift the Z axis up to the highest position (the Z- axis HOME position) before manual tool
replacement. And then replace the tool through the cylinder action, and keep it in place. Note that the mechanical
coordinate may change after the manual tool change, this is normal. If it moves to the mechanical coordinate which
was located at previous position at this time, you will find the tip of the new tool bit can completely coincides with
previous one.
1) Machine without tool sensor

First, change the tool setting type as “Manual” under SYSTEM SETUP-Function Config-Toolset type；Second,
double press“ ” button, and enable Y5 signal to change to tool 1 under the I/O port control interface. Press
“ ”+“ ”to move Z axis tool nose touch the workpiece surface for measuring Z axis offset value of tool 1,
and the mechanical coordinate value of tool 1 at this moment is its Z offset value. Input the measured value to option
of spindle 2 Z axis offset by pressing shortcut keys “ ”+“ ”.

Measuring method of spindle 2 or the others spindles are the same to spindle 1 which is switched by I/O port
and then measured manually.
2) Machine installed tool sensor

The system default tool setting type is AUTO, user could find the setting under the menu system setup –function
conf- Toolset type. In this setting， it allows user to select different toolset type separately on different tools. But the
A55 couldn’t, user have to reset Z axis offset of all the tools if one of the tools to be replaced or changed. For B55,
just need to switch to the required tool No. when user wants to reset its Z offset value. And then move the tool bit to
71
a measuring surface (Note: All tools must use the same measuring surface), press “ ”+“ ”to set
the point as the current tool Z offset. Generally speaking, the X and Y offset value of every spindle is the same, so we
recommend the first method which is input value manually; But Z axis offset of each spindle cannot keep the same all
the time because of the tool usually changes or replaces during actual operations, recommend to the second way.
6.4 Cylinder Delay Time

Cylinder delay: Unit:ms(under Machine Setup)
The time that waiting for the complete of cylinder raise the spindle up or drop it down.
6.5 Programming Example

7.8 Manual Tool Switching
On the keypad of B57 controller, there is a shortcut function key“ ”as a command button for tool
switching. After pressing it, the system will prompt tool switch list as shown below,
76
Move the cursor to desired position and press “OK”, the system will automatic release the current tool and accept
the new tool which is selected.
Tool switch process：
Pressing“ ” button，enter into the tool switch list interface, as soon as you selected the system will
perform the following actions:

Detecting input port X16 status and determines whether the current spindle has tool. If X16 signal status is ↓
indicates it doesn't have a tool in the spindle, so that the system can execute tool switch action immediately; If X16
status is ↑ refers to there is a tool in the spindle, the system will determine whether the tool is the target tool which is
going to be switched to, if it is, the system displays the tool has been in place; if it isn't, the system will automatically
release current tool and then accept the desired tool.
7.8.1 Tool loading procedure:

Detecting the status of input port X16, if it is ↓ means there is no tool in the spindle currently. Invert Y6 to ↑ for
turning on the electromagnetic gas valve of the dust hood opens, get the time delayed until system receives the X15
signal status is ↑（turned on）, then go to the next step. (If X15 status was ↓, the system would display: dust cover is
not in place. Then system would quit the tool changing action automatically.)
Move X and Y axis to the tool change position, invert Y14 tool release/accept output signal to ↑ (turns on) to open
the pull claw inside the spindle, lowers Z axis over the ATC position and start to accept the tool; turns of Y14 ↓ to close
the pull claw inside of the spindle, and capture the tool holder, locks pull stud tightly. Detecting input signal status of
X14, if it is ↑means tool gripping succeeded, moves spindle to the tool retraction place to pull out the tool from the
tool clip, move up Z axis to safe height. (If X14 status was↓, means failed to accept the tool, the system would get the
spindle pull claw open, and would move up Z axis to the safe height, display: There is an error during accepting tool.
Then the system would quit tool change action.)
Inverting Y6 status to ↓, turns of the dust hood, moves X,Y and Z axis to to the initial position, tool changing
complete.
7.8.2 Tool unloading procedure

Another case during tool switching: When the spindle is equipped with a tool, first, system determines whether the
current tool is the desired one, if it is, the system will display: Tool has been loaded and quit tool switching action; if it
isn’t, the system should unload the current tool and then loading the target tool, thus, the system will execute the
actions as shown below:
a). Turn on X15 input signal(↑) to open the dust hood, after time extending detecting, received X15 ↑(On) signal,
continue performing the next action.(If system received signal of X15 was↓, it would display: The dust hood is not in
77
place. Then the system would quit the action)
b). Move X and Y axis to the tool retract amount position, lower Z axis and pull the tool holder into the tool clip; Turns
on output signal Y14 ↑(release/accept tool signal),to open the spindle pull claw, lift up Z axis to the safe height.
Detecting whether the X13 input signal status is↑(On), if it is, means the tool unloading succeed, so that system
executes the procedure of ‘A’ then.
7.9 Set tool bit Z direction offset
System uses combination keys “ ”+“ ” to calculate tool Z direction offset value.
After ATC position settings, user should set Z offset of each tool bit. The “ ”+“ ” is used to calculate Z
offset to each bit. For the tool switching and tool setting needs user’s manual operation.
1) Switching to tool 1, press “ ”+“ ” to start auto tool calibration, tool 1 moves over the center of tool
touch off plate, and slowly lowers Z axis until the tool bit connects with the tool sensor, afterwards lifts up Z axis.
2) Press “ ” switch to tool 2, press “ ”+“ ”for calculating Z offset of tool 2.

3) Switch and calculate one by one until complete all of the Z offset settings.
4) After that, if any tool in the tool clip replaced, only need to set Z offset of corresponding tool bit independently. If
there is no bit replaced, no need to set Z offset again.
*Remarks：
The different between“ ”+“ ”combination keys and the single key“ ” as shown below:
“ ”is the implementation of Z axis workpiece zero calculation, used to set Z aixs workpiece origin.
However, “ ”+“ ” is to calculate Z offset and used to compare the lengths of different tool bits.
7.10 Machine automatic tool setting
1) First, go to“ Machine Setup”- “Tool Setup”-“C.A.D position”, press “ ” and then press “ ” or
“ ” to select a tool setting type as you need (In Place or In Position), and then press “ ” to save
78
the change.
2) Press “ ”to enter into “C.A.D Pickup”, input a value of the tool lift up distance after automatic tool
setting (system default value is 60mm).
3) Press “ ”to go into “C.A.D Thickness”, and then input the actual thickness of the automatic tool setting
device. It is better to reboot the system after modification of the automatic tool setting instrument parameters.
Afterwards, you can go on automatic tool setting operation.
8 B58 Four Axis Motion Control System

B58 common used combination keys are the same to B51, and the forth axis manual movement control buttons
are “ ”and“ ”. Work origin setting button is “ ”, after pressing it, the system will ask you to
select Z or C axis go to work origin.
Most of Z axis work origin of 4 axis tool paths are in the center of the part(material), but the bit cannot plunge into
material when setting Z work origin，thus the system offers “WorkOrg Offset” setting. After user set Z axis work origin
offset value, the system will add the offset value automatically when setting Z work origin.
*For instance, Z work origin offset is -20mm, the Z axis coordinate value will display 20 after set Z work
origin.[0-(-20)=20].
The rotation axis can be represented by alphabet A, B, or C. The system reads the alphabets to realize rotational
movement.
The rotation angle is calculated in absolute coordinates,
E.g.1:
X10 Y10 Z10 A 10
X20 Y20 Z20 A 20
The rotation axis rotates 10 degrees in positive direction when the second line is executed;
E.g.2:
X10 Y10 Z10 A 10

79
X20 Y20 Z20 A 10
The rotary axis doesn’t move when the second line is executed.

2) Press combination keys“ ”+“ ” the screen shows:
80
3) Do the same as step 3 and 4 mentioned in the “Way 1”.
10 P.S.2. Common troubleshooting

10.1 Solution for handle screen prompts problems
1. After powered on the “Screen flicker or automatically restart”
Situation analysis and solution：
1) Switching mode power supply is insufficient. Check power supply if there are problems, and change high-quality
power supply to solve the problems.
2) The local power grid unstable. Check local grid voltage stability or use the regulator filter device.
3) The power chip of the handle is ageing. This phenomenon also appears when the handle is powered through the
USB cable to the computer. Please return back the handle to our company.
4) Temporary solution. Using standard 5V mobile phone charger, supply power through the USB cable to handle.
Duplicate power supply for temporary emergency use.
2. Failed to set work piece origin during normal operation process
Situation analysis and solution:
1) The system is under the absolute coordinate system due to misuse. User can switch back to the 1 st working
coordinate system by pressing the combination keys “Menu” + “1”, then the problem will be solved.
2) Key issues. Go to Menu-menu function user interface-system setup-buttons check, to test whether the button is
normal or not.
3. No text display while screen lights up
1) Needs emergency recover operation: First, power off; then, keep pushing “OK” button do not release it;
Afterwards, supply power, and waiting for 3-5 seconds, release “OK” button. The system will enter into
“Emergency State”; choose “Update System”, “Inner Format” and “Initial Data” operations. At last, restart as usual.
2) Send back for detection and repairing if the system can’t recover by emergency state.

10.2 Common problems during operation

1. After the machining, the cutting size doesn’t match the actual size in processing file
1) Pulse equivalent is wrong.
2) User has selected the wrong tool bit which is not the same as it set in process file.
3) Check if there is any problem with the path processing file.
2. The screen displays “exceed limit” during processing
1) The machine hasn’t returned ZERO, lead the system is unable to confirm the actual position. Solution is to go
machine ZERO.
2) The reserved processing range is small than the actual file size after user set work piece origin. Confirm the actual
file size and then set a correct working origin.
3) Set wrong working origin in the process of creating processing file path. Check the file path, and then generate the
correct one.
3. Spindle feed amount too much or "Breaking Edge" phenomenon occurs during processing
1) The working speed written in the processing file is beyond the machine itself Z axis speed withstands. Z axis motor
loses step and doesn’t move up to the right position when the spindle lift up, and then it will base on the wrong
position and move down in the same depth and plunge in the material too much. Enter into “Machine Setup”-
“Max. Speed Limit”, change Z axis max. motion speed to the safe speed at which the Z axis can run.
2) Coupling connection loose or transmission mechanism slip. Re-adjust the connecting parts.
3) The signal line connected between the wiring board and the driver is disturbed. Re-adjust the line.
4) Processing documents error.
5) The wiring between motor and driver of Z axis is damaged due to long time using, or the connection line is too thin,
the connection plug is loose result in current loss. Replace new wires.
4. Repeating the same processing file, Z axis cutting depths are not as same as each other every time after
returning back HOME
1) Machining table is uneven or processing object not firmly fixed, re-milling the machine table to adjust the flatness.
2) Z-axis origin detection switch repeat positioning accuracy error, causing Z axis homing error each time. Replace a
high-quality detection switch.

82
3) Too much interference in the Z-axis homing process to form a false Z origin. Re-adjust the wiring.
5. The machine cannot stop after returning ZERO, and lead to spindle crashs the machine body

Enter into “Input Output control User Interface”, detect whether the signal can be turned on or turned off normally.
1) The origin detection switch is broken. Replace a new one.
2) The distance of the origin detection switch detection sheet beyond the detection range(This problem is common
occurs in optoelectronic and proximity switches) of the switch, adjust the position of the test piece.
3) The origin detection switch to the interface board wiring aging or loosening. Check the connections again.
4) The interface board is broken. Return back o us to repair.
5) 50-pin data cable is broken. Replace it with a new data cable.
6. The machine uniform moves to the reverse direction when backing to the machine ZERO（HOME）
1) The origin detection switch types do not match with the definition of the corresponding voltage level. Modify the
voltage level in the controller. (Normally open type corresponds to a level defined the direction of the arrow down,
normally closed type corresponds to the level defined arrow up).
2) The origin detection switch is broken. Replace a new one.
3) The origin detection switch connects interface board not well. Refresh the cable to confirm the wiring is correct.
4) Too much interference, resulting in the illusion of the detection switch has been triggered. Recalibrated the whole
circuit.
5) The interface board is broken. Depot Repair.
6) 50-pin data cable is broken. Replace the data cable.
7. Abnormally running when processing or the actual file is different from theoretical file
1) The system program disorder.
2) Too much external interference lead the controller cannot work normally. Re-adjust overall circuit. (The wires of
weak current and strong current should be separately binding, the inverter and other components should be
separated connected each GND of themselves).
3) There is something wrong while converting the file format and the program appears illegal characters or system
unrecognized codes. Recommended to use third party simulation software to review the program paths.
8. After starting up automatic tool setting, the tool bit can’t stop when it touched the tool setting device
1) There is an open circuit of the cutter signal cable which is connected to X5 port
83
2) The "COM" signal port of the “INPUT” terminal on the wiring board is not well connected with spindle housing or
poor connection.
3) Go to “MACHINE SETUP”-“Input Confi” to confirm if X5 is enabled.
9. It is normal to the move from one position to another, but when return back from that position to the original
position is abnormal
Mechanical assembly problem, guide ball screw is not well installed.
10.3 Electrical components and wiring problems

1. One axis or several axes can only move in one direction after power on
Situation analysis and solution：
1) There is something wrong with the connecting between the interface board and motor driver common anode
end, check the connection.
2) Interface board is broken. Replace the interface board.
3) The motor driver is broken. Replace the driver.
4) Measure the direction voltage of the axis with a multimeter. Check whether the direction is correct or not.
2. The motor of one axis does not move after power on
1) The driver pulse cable and direction cable connect oppositely, exchange them;
2) Motor driver damaged if the motor can move when pushing it by hand;
3) The interface chip on the wiring board is broken, no pulse signal output.
3. The screen displays “Spindle on” but actually the spindle off; displays “Spindle off” actually the spindle on
1) Circuit malfunction, FWD and COM is short circuit. Eliminate line failure.
2) The output level definition reversed. Go to the “voltage setup” and modify the output level definition.
4. The handle screen doesn’t light up or show nothing after power on
1) The power supply voltage is too large, or power supply positive and negative short chipset is burned out, return
back for repairing.
2) Power supply damaged, replace it.
3) Check if HDMI cable is damaged. Replace HDMI cable.
