If you look at the sequencer it has LED lights on it for the inputs , I traced the wire back to it and when you cycle the switch one of the LED’s change’s state, the sequencer is sourcing 5+ volts to the switch then to ground. Ok now if you go into the diagnostic screen and change 079 to 00000100 The ATC light will come on and then it will Change tools ( 079 2nd Reference point completion ZP2Z ) Some of the other things It will not do are G27 G28 G29 also it wont rapid back to Z Zero for a tool change. I’m still waiting for a wiring schematics from Okuma, so I don’t know what to test next to see if it is in the Sequencer or if there is something else wrong . Basically something is not telling it to rapid back to home. I don’t have any alarm code’s on the Control. So if anybody can give me any ideas on what to try next. Thanks
