Troubleshooting the Control
This Section presents some features available to you to help troubleshoot
your control. These features include:
System Initialization Software - This feature allows you to initialize the
control to default AMP parameters and/or remove the existing PAL
logic program.
Search Monitor (online) -- This optional feature allows you to search
and monitor the PAL program using the operator panel.
System Diagnostic Screens. Description and operation.
I/O ring diagnostics displays
remote I/O diagnostic displays
Fast I/O diagnostic displays (9/260 and 9/290 only)
Servo system diagnostic displays
Serial I/O diagnostics
data scope monitor
Additional troubleshooting features are available in other sections of this
manual that include :
A listing of error and status messages for identifying incorrect
commands and configurations on the control is available at the end of
this manual. Since electro-mechanical devices on the machine tool can
also malfunction, these messages and their recoveries can also locate
certain problems outside of the control.
Offline Search Monitor -- This feature is similar to the Online Search
Monitor feature found on the control except the offline search monitor
must interface through ODS and is displayed on the ODS workstation,
not the operator panel. Refer to your 9/Series PAL reference manual for
details.
