Auto-diagnosis function of CNC system

Using the latest computer technology, VICHOR CNC machine tools have advantages of highly reliable hardware and powerful software functions, and one of these powerful functions is the strong auto-diagnosis ability.

I. Auto-diagnosis when starting

After the boot, VICHOR CNC systems will run the auto-diagnosis to test all connected control devices and alarm any mistake it finds. For example, the test will check whether battery backup meets voltage requirement and the system will generate an alarm when the voltage is lower. In Siemens System the code “i” means battery alarm and it suggests the maintenance staff replace the battery immediately.

II. Auto-diagnosis when running

When VICHOR machine tool is running, CNC system will real-time monitor its operation. It monitors the servo system and the PLC system and generates an alarm when finding mistakes. The alarm information will be displayed on the screen. When running, the PLC device will real-time monitor the operation of CNC machine tool using VICHOR customized program. If it finds any mistake or the instruction does not perform, it will send signals to the numerical control device immediately and the alarm information will be displayed on the screen.
