'DOF: M54' Alarm

MatthewHaines
We are having movement issues with our CMM. During a programme the CMM stops and it tells us "DOF: M54 invalid machine not in manual mode".

The machine is in the middle of a programme, it all runs in DCC mode. So we are unsure why it is implying we should be in Manual mode to move from A-B along an axis. Even in the middle of a calibration run the CMM stops and shows this message.

If we press 'continue' it carries on like normal, so it looks like some sort of jolt or glitch. We can't have someone stand next to the CMM pressing 'continue' every two minutes during a programme, so we would like to solve this issue.

What is it, and why is it doing it?

    Canyou elaborate on the controller a bit? Brown & Sharpe actually makes multiple controllers. I am guessing this is one that we call the Sharpe controller. One way to check is to Help - About PC-DMIS to open the dialog and then click on the button labeled View License Details. Expand the list where it says "Installed Modules" and look for the one that says "PC-DMIS Online Interface - " and see what follows. If, as I suspect, it is Sharpe, then you need an update. It was fixed after the 2013 Release. It is available in the following -
