I've put in many old machines, from mori to Makinos. Never did I need another transformer. Your in over your head. Call someone before you hurt yourself or cost yourself thousands on electronic repair.

this is old machine.
what do you doing to do if one shop has power supply 480V, another shop 240V and another 208V?
Fanuc use 200V and for axis Fanuc use 185V
Can you avoid transformer?

[underthetire]

Fanuc uses 200 v at 50hz. 208-230 is totally fine at 60hz. 480 volts is using a main transformer to knock it down to 220 or so. Some had machine transformers for this, others do not. Either way, the machine gets 220 volts +/- 10%.

Do you have e-mail ?
i can e-mail PDF file from Fanuc, that show wiring of transformer.

i have old machine too, with the 0 m fanuc control.there are so many trnasformer insideain panel.better u should check one by one connection.but i think thats a good idea, if u upload the wiring diagram in this forum.maybe thats will make easier to solve your problem

Hi
I found problem with my FANUC 10M control in the way - 1. i start machine and switch to HOME and start process.
Axis start moving to the switch but 2 or 3 inch before switch touch stop i getting ALARM - Soft limit .
My question is why Soft Limit activated before Axis actually limit switch actually touch Stop?
How i can solve this problem?

Thank you
Aram

Aram,
To disable the soft limits temporarily on a 10M:

1) Power on the control while holding the Period and Minus keys simultaneously.
2) This invokes the IPL menu, which gives several choices. Select choice 4.
3) Answer the question, soft limits yes or no.
4) Exit IPL mode by pressing 99 and Input.

Now, there will be NO soft limits. BE CAREFUL.

When you get it to home properly, move all of the axes off home slightly and power down. This will allow soft limits to work again. Power up and everything will home normally.

Hi
Thanks for the help

I trying to follow instruction but how to do that?

1) Power on the control while holding the Period and Minus keys simultaneously.
I did that, and it is working.

2) This invokes the IPL menu, which gives several choices. Select choice 4.
How i can -- select choice 4--?
Type 4 and Input? Cursor down does not working ?


3) Answer the question, soft limits yes or no.

How to --- answer the question--? Type Y and Input?

4) Exit IPL mode by pressing 99 and Input.
that is easy and clear, i can do that

Thank you Aram

Aram,

Sorry for being vague -it's been a long time since I've done it.

Yes, press the number 4 and input to get to the next question.

I think the answer to the question is "Y" input.

Just read everything slowly. The IPL menu has choices there that can erase a lot of data. If you get into a screen you don't know the answer to, just shut off the control.

Hi
After i 4 -Input , question show
"Check soft OT at power ON?"
What this means ?
What is "OT" ?

I am afraid to create more problem than i already have by trying push thisa or those.
So, what should i do with - after --
"Check soft OT at power ON?"

Thanks
Aram

[fordav11]

that means Over Travel
answer N to check OT limits
then follow the instructions in post #26

Hi
Thank you all for help. I did home machine.
Now, how i can check through IPL is my SOFT limit now ON?
Just want to be sure that safety is ON.
To help to prevent trouble.

Thank you
Aram

[fordav11]

soft limit has nothing to do with safety.
soft limit is the limit of the axis stroke.
by powering machine off/on soft limit checking is automatically on.

Hi
about steps
1) Power on the control while holding the Period and Minus keys simultaneously.
2) This invokes the IPL menu, which gives several choices. Select choice 4.
3) Answer the question, soft limits yes or no.
4) Exit IPL mode by pressing 99 and Input.

I did step 1.
i did step 2.
than i press 6 and normal positioning screen show up and i did HOME machine with no problem.
Than i tuen OFF controller and home machine again and machine work good.
I did not use step 4 --4) Exit IPL mode by pressing 99 and Input.
is this a problem ?
It just work out without step 4.

what should i do?
thanks
Aram

[fordav11]

just run the machine it's working fine as-is.

Hi
I want to change light bulb for FANUC controller 10M,

I think it is 12V light bulb.

Thank you

Hi Aram,

Are you sure its a light bulb? LED's are generally used for this application and are available at most good electronic supply shops. If it is a LED, these seldom fail. More times than not, their apparent failure is in fact a faulty chip on the interface I/O board. However, you state in your post that all three axes inductors turn on. If so, why do you need to change any, or is that a mistake in the post?

Hi
I have problem with my X axis.
After i home all axis X Y Z, and start jog axis away from HOME switch, X axis must be jog in positive direction to move away from HOME switch.
Axis Y and Z need to be jog in negative direction to move away from HOME switch.
i know it is rare condition/problem.
What should i do in controller to fix this problem and make X axis same as a Y and Z axis?

Thank you
aram

[AMTB]

I need help to understand what i did today.
I start replacing light on Fanuc 10M that show that axis X Y Z at home.
There are small panel that i unscrew to get to light bulb ( yes it is not LED it is 1987 ) That panel has resisters and when they touch screwdriver i got many Alarms like Spindle Alarn, Air Pressure Alarn,
Also i look on drivers and on driver for axis X Y Z i can not see small light.

Is there some reset things to push?

thank you
Aram
