SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / PMDX 424 stuck in E-Stop state
« on: August 07, 2019, 10:19:42 PM »
I have a 424, with a 407 attached and a 104 connected, running a CNC Router with Mach 4.
Windows 7
Mach 4 build 4162
WX4.set
PMDX424 RevB PCB
SN 34478 (B1)
Plugin 0.53.263
Bootloader 1.13.73
Firmware 0.60.208
Finishing up a major refurbish / improvement of the machine and today somehow got the board into E-stop, and can't get it to recover.
Powering everything off , waiting and restarting doesn't help... Nor does uninstall / reinstall of Mach 4 or Plugin.
Mach 4 still will not enable and reports: PMDX could not enable the SmartBOB 'error E-Stop active, not allowed'
We have the orange LED briefly lit when powering on, the green LED flashing approx once per second. and the red LED continuously lit.
I upgraded the plug-in and firmware a couple of weeks ago and we've had each axis running individually for testing since then.
Is there a hard reset button on the board?
My machine E-Stop is purely an AC Power cut-off and has never been connected to the 424 E-stop port. The original supplied bridged plug is in the same place its always been at the end of the outputs (J14)?
