    Re: Problem with VFS5 driver parameters arrow 1000

    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 time I have replaced a VFS5 drive, the following variables are the only ones I have had to change. If you use the values for these variables from your old drive, it should work as long as you purchased the correct replacement drive (and the original drive was working with those settings).
    GEARIC
    GEARIO
    GEAROC
    GEAROO
    VXDENC
    VXDENO
    VXNUMC
    VXNUMO
    MORNT
    VORNT
    X41
    X42
    X43
    X45

    Sevenoat,
    People do not understand that the VFS5 user variables and program are stored on RAM (CMOS memory) that is in a Dallas Real-Time Clock Chip with an INTERNAL battery embedded inside the Chip package.
    Once the INTERNAL Battery has gone below the voltage level to maintain the RAM (Memory); the Chip MUST be replaced and then reloaded.
    This is normally done by Kollmorgen VFS5 drive technicians that will also clean the drive, replace fans, replace bad capacitors.
    These batteries have a life span of less then 10 years at best. Your machine is much older than that.
    If it has NOT been repaired by people with Kollmorgen knowledge and expertise; then it probably will lose or corrupt anything that is manually
    programmed into it until it is properly repaired.
