Recommended Posts

CNC disabled Controller Temp over 66.5º (150º f)

We are now getting this err on our machine a couple times a day, we tried to open the Calypso "app" for controler temp (mini controller) but connection was refused. does anyone know how to monitor the temp of the controller computer?

I currently have a fan on the control box, and we have canned air on order to clean out what we can get to

What type of controller is it? CPU fans in some C99 controllers tend to die young. We had a couple of them replaced during maintenance.

😉 Roberto,

You need to connect a monitor and keyboard to the C99 controller, then you can use the “F” keys to get the temperature of the controller. At the same time, you can go into the BIOS to view the speed of the fan and also the temperature of the CPU.

But be careful, there is no guarantee that you will press the wrong buttons. It's your responsibility.

Top seceret 😉

Sounds like either a C98 or, more likely, a C99. There are usually a couple of vents, which may or may not have fans, on the rear of the controller. These are easy to remove, and probably have filters behind them. I would pull the vent covers off, and check the filters. These are commonly forgotten, and will fill with dirt and block ventilation over time causing controllers to overheat. If this isnt the case you will almost certainly need to contact the Hardware department (if your controller has gotten that hot I would contact them anyways, for a check to make sure nothing got cooked).

Does it look like this? (without the garbage on top 🤣 )
That's an MCC 800 with a C99 controller, and the deathbed of more than one CPU fan.

Don't tell me this. I have two MCC 800s and I just noticed a fan sounding louder than normal. These things push a lot of air thru them.

Final Solution.......
I looked behind a panel wall and found 3 filters clogged like crazy.
I didn't have any filter material this thin (less than 1/4 inch) so i went with much thicker material smushed into the same spot.
Its now been a week and no more problems, the filters are flowing good enough.
