Dea Tutor P connected to Beta Sp CMM

[dyost]

My Dea Controller just shows red light flashing under question mark when i turn key. Machine acts like is stop is set although both e-stops are disengaged (jog box and controller). Any help?

Try this

1) Are you pushing the motor start button. On my controller this is the green push button next to the E stop button on the controller.
2) Some time ago, I was having the same problem. When I would start up, the red led would go out, then a few seconds later come back on. It would come and go, sometimes just resetting the controller would fix it. I ended up finding a loose connection in the jog box. There are two places to check; both are plug in strips. The first is on the E stop button-that one seems to be prone to wiggle loose. The other is where the cable hooks to the board in the jog box. If you jog box made a trip to the floor recently, I'd bet one of these may have come loose.

Once I had same kind problem. X5 connector were not connected well. Try to check this connector / we found there was a space between the connector and the pins.If so , remove (cut) the connector and weld the cables directly to the pins. You may find this connector inside the controller , behind the transformator , right hand side-back.


Another things to be checked ,
* All cable connections behind the controller
* Emergency leds -inside the controller , there is a emergency board, near the transformator , you may check its leds according to the scheme. (+/- Voltages,air supply etc etc)
