Thread: Syil X4 Plus - E-stop issue
Threaded View

Hi there,
Looking for some advice for an issue with an E-stop on my Syil X4 Plus.
with the spindle running, hitting the e-stop will stop the spindle but all axis can still move...releasing the e-stop instantly starts up the spindle again!
Also, I cant get the e-stop to show in the diagnostics page in Mach 3, the limit switches show up fine. I'm very reluctant to run the machine with no e-stops on the drives!
I have absolutely zero electrical knowledge, and very little experience with mach 3, really would like to get this up and running as its just sitting there at the moment...some brief points of where I'm at if this helps..
-Mach 3 doesn't see the e-stop as being pressed on the diagnostic screen - could this be the first place to fault find?
-Spindle will stop in both manual and CNC mode, but has no effect on any axis, spindle starts up again when button released.
-It has a SmoothStepper board in the machine
-I think I have an older model machine (its the blue one) unsure of the year
-I have taken the SmoothStepper and the 5 axis control board out of the machine (is this the breakout board?) to check for loose connections, but everything is tight
-I've tried tapping relays for welded contacts...no joy...
Any help would be massively appreciated!
Cheers
Keith
