Depending on what needs to be done. If it is just reflashing the BIOS, I do that all the time.

Sorry, I guess I assumed the battery needing to be replaced was obvious. Yes, replace WS battery then setup WS BIOS.
I believe the part number you provided is a RT board, not WS so do not remove...
(Floppy drive A: failure cmos time & data not set) - this indicates the battery on your WS board has failed. You can enter the BIOS and modify the date and time, update your floppy settings, and the...
It sounds like you are now saying this drive is not used, you have never used it, the overspeed light has been on the entire time you have had the machine, and it didn't prevent the machine from...
If the overspeed light is "always on", I wouldn't expect the machine to even try to start the spindle alignment because if the control sees any drive faulted it should immediately remove power. You...
Depending on which machine you have, outputs were typically protected by fuse or opto isolator. I believe yours is the latter but your prints will indicate what you have and where to look.
If you...
I don't use that version of motionlink because it is prone to adding garbage messages in the history, but the Err12-Overcurrent should never occur and indicates a short in the motor, wiring or drive.
Your most recent failure sounds like the RT battery failed so the board needs to be reflashed.
I wouldn't expect the axis issue from your diagnostics failure because your machine can not run if...
I haven't listened to your video, but 2 common things to check.
1) backlash - although this should not cause servo harmonics unless you have scale feedback. If this is it you can usually use the...
Your pictures show alarms on 2 different drives.
Spindle drive - use motionlink to find out what is causing the alarm.
Overspeed on axis drive - this says the motor is running too fast based on...
It looks pretty clear in the video that the issue is being caused by the Z-axis drive losing Control Volts (and drive ready at virtually the same time).
This means the Z-axis drive is losing the...
I'm on the road so can't really get you any actual dimensions right now. Attached is the drawimg that shows the brackets (items 8 and 10) for the table and spindle.
I still have the factory brackets for when I'm involved in relocating these machines. There was a bracket that bolted the Y axis to the base and a cradle that bolted to the table to support the...
If the battery is changed on the RT board, you would normally have several diagnostic failures during startup. The fact that you only have 1 (Conv Servo), it is possible the DV5 issue you found is...
As I mentioned, the variables will vary based on what your machine options are (i.e. spindle speed, HP, etc.) so won't post values here because they would most likely not match your machine.
Any...
Do you still have the original drive? I would read the parameters from that if possible and transfer those to the new one since that would be the best way to ensure they are correct.
The drive...
If you have the LVDS port on your WS board, your options are somewhat limited but I have "updated" an LVDS machine to the standard VGA display for a customer so it is possible.
In that case I had...
This really doesn't sound very complicated.
You had the WS Board tested (and purchased a 2nd board), so the WS Board has been eliminated as a possibility.
You don't have the separate video...
The load meter displays what the spindle drive sees as happening. You could have an issue in the spindle drive reporting an incorrect load, but more likely is that the spindle drive is working hard...
What Greg suggested was a lot more than just checking the contactor. Perhaps you should reread his suggestions and look into the rest of it.

I ended up exporting the M1Y backup file, modifyung it to reset the passwords, and then restoring the modified file.
I've never known of a file to reset the passwords. Simply go to a higher level password and you can reset all passwords lower than the one you are on.
I did have one case where the passwords were...
As you figured out, the spindle motor regen is wired from the PSR to the regen above the electrical cabinet. What you didn't mention is there is an overload that can trip out and needs to be manually...
It sound like you still have multiple issues to address.
The PSR is very possible as the cause for tripping your breaker. I don't see any chance the CNC side of things would have anything to do...
First, you said machine power trips breaker, now it doesn't? Or is this only intermittent? Are all 3 legs present and balanced?If it trips, you are drawing too much current so need to figure out...
I have written up detailed responses about the "fuse" alarm in the past so won't revisit it here, but start by checking the output from your PSU2 power supply. It should be 24V, if it is low you may...
To your question about keeping the memory by jumpering a battery in while changing the BIOS battery, some people claim to have had success doing this, but for every one that says they were successful...
Looks like Greg posted while I was typing this, so will scale back my response a little bit.
If you changed your BIOS battery, yes, you most likely lost the BIOS configuration and will need to set...
An after thought about removing the jumper to confirm you get the overtemp/overload alarm. Your original post mentioned you are getting alarms (plural) about solenoids, etc. Depending on sequencing...
I don't know if anyone else can see the pictures, but I have checked the thread with both phone (mobile) and PC, and neither show anything attached. But your link worked so not really needed...
