'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?

PC-DMIS 2013. Tesa Micro Xcel. PH10T. Browne & Sharpe controller.

  • I am running Windows 7 64bit, on an older xcel 7-10-7 with the sharp 32 controller(not scanning capable) and have had the orgional issue with the m54 error in 2013sr1 and attempted to download and run 2013mr1 but had the exact same issue the comp.dat file. I attempted using the 2013sr1 comp file and a previous 2011 mr1 comp.dat file, but pcdmis would not reconize the replacement comp files. Have you found a fix for this? I also have not located the toolc or sysparam dat files.



    For XP I believe the new comp.dat file placement is
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\WAI\PC-DMIS\2013 MR1

    For Win7
    C:\Program Data\WAI\PC-DMIS\2013 MR1

    This is a change that happened in 2013MR1


    You don't need sysparam.dat, and toolc.dat is only if you have a tool change rack.
