I don't think that anyone will take their pendant apart to take a picture for you. Can you send pics of your pendant and I will try to help you with this.

My problem is that the spindle speed and feedrate override dials do not work, i dont know if the connections inside the pendant are wrong or even some cable is missing, also the display shows 125% feed and 125% speed. Attachment 271136Quote:

I have seem them be intermittent as you turn the stem but never both going bad at the same time. Look on You Tube on how to check a potentiometer.

The override pots seem to be in a good condition, my only suspicion is that maybe some connection cable is missing thus there is no real feedback so the indication is always stuck on 125% for both. That's the main reason why i needed to see the connections inside an operating pendant.
The pendant talks to the cnc control through a high speed data line which goes to the bridge board. You may not have the correct pendent software for your control software. I do not remember any settings in the control for the pendent. All pendents that I have ever seen has the feed and speed over rides. I don't think it was an option. I have included the pendent interface print. If it doesn't show up, send us an e-mail and we will send it to you. Attachment 271196

Thanks for your help but I think what could really help me currently is the print of the pendant itself and not the interface. Thanks again for your effort.
Cinci never published the internal schematic for the pendant that I have ever seen. You can call SIEMENS at 1-800-879-8079 in the US but I don't think they will give it to you. You may need to send the unit to them. You should also check the software and part number of the pendant to see if it works for your A2100 control version, some are different.

hope this helps.....
Thanks everyone for your replies, the picture helped me a lot, and indeed there was a cable missing after all as i figured out by looking at the picture. Thank you!
