I have an AXYZ router in Australia.
I'm replacing the driver with a generic driver as the original driver is 32x the price.
How ever I cant get into function 18 to set the drive type (assuming installer settings are locked to user level).
Does anyone know how to get to this function ?

I don't think function 18 is what you want. its only the for setting the operator preferences. nothing to do with the replacement of parts or software. funny enough, its the function that locks down operator access. i will tell you how to get into it though. if its on level one, you have to enter code 7758. if its on level 2 the code is 1954. If those dont get you in then i would wipe and reinstall the OS on machine. its not hard to. function 159 deletes it for you and you just load another one through toolpath or the DNC. Use function 29 to get the OS info before you wipe it. would also be good to get the info stored in machine personality in either toolpath or the DNC.
what driver are you replacing? a motor? board? software? its hard to say where the solution is if i dont know where to look. it sounds like you need to get into either toolpath or the DNC and look in Machine personality. OR, you need to replace the OS on the machine with one that uses a similar driver to whatever it is you got. OR if you replaced whatever it was with basically the same thing. you might just need to calibrate the machine which i think is also in that personality place again, OR use functions 603,610,611,612,and 613, to recalibrate it. OR i could be way off... but don't worry, there is A LOT more from where all that came from. for just one more OR.
I would be willing to upload the AXYS AMC (not A2MC) disc that has everything all of you would ever need for these machines, but i cant find anywhere on this site for uploads. it has all the operating systems, all the drivers all the DNCs all the labs, all the functions and error codes with explanations and if you've never had the joy of working with ToolPath it has all of them as well. and the 388 page training manual, and 72 pages of wiring diagrams. CNCzone does have an upload area, but it does say Open- source and AXYZ is definitely not Open to any source but them. Any suggestions?

he would be fine to erase the the Operating system intentionally if he wanted, its Function 159. the parameters and settings are stored in both the DNC and toolpath, they will be there when he reloads the OS through either of those programs. ive swapped in different OS's more times than i can count. the one my machine "is supposed to have" conveniently didn't have function 22 reinstalled on it. so i just switched back and forth. all you have to reset is Function 330 if you have an Smouse.
Dont retrofit, there is no point in replacing quality parts and durability with new parts just because the machines are simple (also adding to that durable thing) with complicated new ones that have to be modified to work with your machine. if i could upload the disk somewhere i will. AXYZ still sells the old AMC software disc on the cncshop site. its a hundred dollars. i bet thats a whole lot less than replacing things that arent broken with stuff that will be obsolete in ten years anyways.
edit: the disc is 200. still a better deal.Last edited by t8r007; 25-05-2023 at 10:17 AM.
