Good afternoon,
I've got a converted Bridgeport Interact which decided to give up the ghost last week. I think that one of the servo drives/amps is dead, and am hoping that someone can sanity check my troubleshooting before I start spending money. Before I removed any wires, I checked the wire numbers against the schematic and put everything back in the same place. Fault: On power on, blows fuse/breaker. Diagnostic: 1: Remove power + HV bus from X, Y, Z drives Powered up, no axis movement possible 2: Connected power + HV bus from X drive Powered up, X movement OK 3: Connected power + HV bus from Y drive Powered up, X + Y movement OK 4: Connected power + HV bus from Z drive Blew fuse 5: Removed X drive, put Z drive in place of X On power up X motor ran at maximum speed until I hit e-stop 6: Put Z drive back in place, replaced X drive. Disconnected motor connection only from Z drive On power up X and Y movement OK. 7: Reconnected Z motor to Z drive On power up Z ran at maximum speed until I hit e-stop I'm pretty sure that the Z drive is dead - can anyone suggest any other tests I should do?
