Hi all. It’s been awhile since my last post. I quit my job of over 23 years in February and just getting back into things. I have had some issues with PAC Display in the past and here is a new one I have come across on a project that was completed over a year ago.
In runtime, it recognizes a command. Example: Pushbutton, changing a value, but it won’t read values from the R1 controller. It just leaves the number sign (####.##) where there should be a value. So they are able to “Home” the machine, but it does not populate the value of where the axis is at.
We are using PAC Display version R9.6f Build 0092 (PAC_Project_R9.6003-86). They have been running the machine for about a year now and this problem surfaced.
Ok, so just got done troubleshooting all afternoon on this problem. Power supply is good. Comm connections are good. Brain is seated good. … The reason there were ###.###'s as my values is because the Brain lost all its Persistent Values. Can anyone answer how often can this happen? What can cause this? All the axis configuration data was lost for this machine. It did not lose the PID configuration though.
