PRT 60x144 v2.33 software
I can connect sucessfully but when I attempt to jog the shop bot (from SK), it moves only the screen values (at a slower rate then the set move/jog speed). When I move the X axis, input #1 flickers and "Speed set communication error -1" appears in bottom corner,"Comm Break at Ser -0 -1" will also appear. If I attemp to jog in Y or Z axis it appears to move on screen only and at a rate much slower then the ms/js.
I've had this error before and just through changing port settings "VI" and exiting/rebooting. I've been able to get it going again. Some times taking days!! I have yet to see any sort of pattern or logic to what gets it going again. We've had our machine for 2 years now. If I remember correctly this has happened with different versions of software, different computer running the software, and we've replaced the control box twice now (due to other problems). Same problem with different computers running the control box as well.
And now today it is doing it again. I come in to do some work, first thing I try to do is jog the machine and.....Argh! Please help
