[Ro...] Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 If restarts won't help, then call service. Perhaps faulty sensor or MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[No...] Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 😉 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 ❗ 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ke...] Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 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).

[Ch...] Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Please sign in to view this quote. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ro...] Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 Please sign in to view this quote. 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.hjbghjgvkjhj.jpgliugyjugtufrtydt.jpgbnvghcgfdrhgjfcgf.jpgjhvjhvjvghkcvh.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Da...] Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Those filter elements are washable. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted yesterday at 02:51 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:51 PM (edited) Does anyone want to explain why Zeiss is quoting me $23,000 for this fan. I normally don't mind the Zeiss tax; But these things are about $20 dollars online. I might even splurge and get the $40 ultra-premium oneemium one.

[Mi...] Posted yesterday at 03:06 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:06 PM (edited) That's insane, there has to be a mistake there. For anybody who doesn't know... fans are like bearings, it's all standardized. Look up the specs, voltage, RPM, CFM, match them ( don't forget to compare the connector) and buy from whoever you like.... 23k for a standard fan is insane if that's all it is. Also, for anybody curious... here's some PCM code to play with to grab the controller temps... addToFile("C:\data\cmm\stf\ControllerInfo.txt",cmmInquire("sfmt(#cpuTemperature)"),",",cmmInquire("sfmt(#cpuFanSpeed)"),",",time(),",",dateInNumbers()) Edited yesterday at 03:06 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
