'DOF: M54' Alarm

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?

  • Ok, so we have downloaded 2013 MR1, that bit was fine.

    However, once I go to open it it says...

    "Invalid volcomp configuration, volcomp will not be used"

    then it says

    "Neither grid comp nor parametric XY comp factors exist, indicating mising or incorrect compensation"

    I also noticed in the bottom left it says 'cannot find comp.dat' even though there is clearly one in the WAI files.

    How can PCDMIS 2013 work fine, but the MR1 suddenly fails to recognise things? Is there something I need to do?
