[Ro...] Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I'm trying to help a sister plant get back up & running, but since i have an XXT and they have an XT i don't know the ins & outs of their system. Overnight the machine was running, but at some point it errored out during a probe change. I thought this would be a simple "tell the machine what probe it has in its hand" fix, but when i have them click on the manual change then the Up arrow i get this screen. It appears as if the whole head isn't being detected. So i had them pop off the XT head and clean the contacts between the probe and the head and the head and the arm with some alcohol on a rag, but that didn't fix anything. Do any of you have any insight on what may be wrong and how to get this back up & running?jhghvgcc.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ow...] Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I've run XT's for years and have never had this happen. It's like it's lost it's config file? You probably already tried but, the only thing I could recommend is to shut everything down and let it set for a few and then restart it. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I think Owen is correct regarding loss of some config info. This is what I would expect to see. What does the traffic light look like? Does it show it is connected to a machine? . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ro...] Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 End of day 1 and all we (they) got going is an appointment with a tech. Don't know yet if its a physical failure or a software (config) issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Silly question, but have you tried rebooting both the PC, and controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 We "Lost" autorun one day (don't ask me how) So IT suggested we try using a "Previous version" under the autorun file properties, and it worked. So you make a copy of the config folder, then go to the config file properties - previous version" tab, and go back to a previous version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
