If you make a change in any other machine constant it keeps the change?

Hi - not sure if this is the correct thread to post this in. Please advise. In any case - I have a DMU 70V 3+2 and am looking for help in 3+2 set up. I think I have the Z axis(tool) fset figured out but am not sure about the offset from the point of rotation. Basically I need a 101 level course on setting the machine up to use MasterCam to rotate the part to work on indic=vidual faces. TIA

information
First of all, the 532 system SW is stored on the EPC8 flash disk, the Sram are only stores machine constants, tool data, parameters and programs. Some systems have a memory extension, but this is only used for data (tool data, parameters and programs).
The system SW can be extracted, saved and copied, using a special tool, available in Robtec's workshop.
From about SW 310, the HD versions were introduced, using additional HW, a EXM-HD module, on which the HD was mounted.
It is possible for Robtec to upgrade some systems to a HD version, by using different parameters and IPLC-SW. (unfortunately the IPLC compiler was changed from SW310 (?) on, so not the same IPLC xxx.fls can be used).

Hello
I have a DMU 70 V 1998 with millplus v330 that ran out of CMOS battery so it has lost the start up parameters.
From what I have read I need to install the software to get the parameters back in but I dont have the diskettes.
Have been trying to get help from DMG Mori here in Sweden for 3 months now but they just dont care to answer.
Does anybody know how to get the diskettes, will it work with some other version? somebody willing to sell or share?
Or is it any other way to get the parameters in?

Hello,
First of all, you have a millplus v330, so your system has a hard disk. All the Software is installed on the hard disk so there is no need to re-install it from floppies. Unless you also had a hard disk crash, you would do more harm then good by reinstalling it.
Your Bios batt went flat, so you replace it and re-enter the BIOS, using an external PS2 keyboard, plugged directly into the EPC8. You press F2 a few times during booting and you are in the BIOS.
The only problem is your HD size, as it has to be the correct value in the bios, to find your HD and the DOS on it.
If you don't have the original BIOS values (which you probably dont), find out the HD size and write again or contact [email protected] and we can let you have the values.

I have the BIOS re-entered.
The machine boots up but when it comes to the machine screen I get alarm for "parameters missing", then it reboots again.
I have read that the BIOS battery also holds a SRAM memory with start up parameters and the only way to get them back in is to reinstall the software.
Translated from a french forum, I have read about same solution in industryarena.
Machine finally repaired!!!! WOW!!!
The problem was that having emptied the EPC-8 card of its memory, the machine parameters went completely to the strawberries. Impossible to be able to put them back in a normal way because they are stored on an SRAM memory integrated into the card itself. It was necessary to go through the machine installation software (provided with the machine on diskette) which works only on a PC running under DOS.

hi all
In dmu60p / milplus device, after not working for a while and losing the initial parameters and reloading it, we have encountered a series of problems, including error e252, which is related to the tool gripper sensor, which is not present in our device. . We can not find a solution to this problem anywhere. What is the solution to this problem?

This looks like a problem with the Bios and/or parameters. There is probably a configuration parameter(MC) incorrect.
Check on the hard disk (control, menu, installation, machine constants, files,) if there is a copy of MC from the time the machine was still running. Save the current MC under a name of you choosing (xxxxxxxx.CM) and load the last running MC configuration and try again.
I would also check the bios again if it is correct.

We have done all this. I think we should change a choice in the constant parameters, but we do not have a manual for the parameters of the machine and dmg mori does not provide any help.
I think there is a troubleshooting book for dmu devices but I do not know where to get it.
I'm sure many technicians have this problem.

In order to offer assistance, we need to have additional information:
1. Pictures of all the configuration pages of the "control" mode screens
Control-Mode -> Menu->Installation Tab-> Diagnostics
a. CPU, memory, I/O, drives, configuration
b. Log book file
2. Machine constance file
3. Pictures of the Hardware configuration
CNC-rack, Drive rack, Operators- panel
4. Picture of the machine name plate, including, Type and Serial Number.
Please make sure that ALL the above is supplied.
Only with this information, we could try to be of help and obtain a Machine constants list for this control configuration.
Kind Regards
All documents are available. If you provide me with an email, I will send all the documents.

backup discs for Millplus V4.0 for my DMU50v
Dear markp
I have a DMU 50V from 1996, with Philips PG1220 Series, Grundig Millplus control.I ask you very much to send an image of the hard disk. The machine is 5-axis, after
the download returns error O208 . my email:[email protected]
Thank you so much.
