Does anyone have a Biesse technician they can recommend near the Dallas Texas area
I have a Rover A4 that will not start and initialize global homing
Thanks Jim

I'm not a tech and I'm not in Dallas, but I've had many Biesse's and the symptoms you describe are usually the e stop circuit.

If you have a wiring diagram and an electrician friend maybe you can figure it out.

Turns out my original computer had some blown capacitors on the motherboard.
Fortunately I got a 2022 Biesse backup computer from the original owner.
I had my computer guy move the drive cards to the new computer and reinstalled it in the enclosure.
Started, homed and ran perfectly, but randomly threw a blue screen error that froze Biesse Editor and disabled the machine tool configuration.
Biesse tech worked with me off/on over a few days and narrowed the problem down to a usb wireless internet adapter.
After having me use a wired ethernet cable connected via a usb/ ethernet adapter the issue seems resolved.
The Biesse support tech explained that the 20 yr old hardware (built in ethernet card) wasn't recommended for direct ethernet connection and that on even a "new" Windows XP computer build, Biesse recommends a wired internet connection using a usb/ethernet adapter and just bypass the built in card.
I must say the support tech I got was very thorough, knowledgeable and professional
I bought this Biesse Rover after a fire destroyed my Weeke pod and rail.
The Weeke support from Stiles was A+ and the Biesse support service is every bit on par once I connected with a compatible representative

Dropout-
When I had the machine installed in the shop, there was an issue with the 24 volt E circuit
I loaded, transported, and did the preliminary installation and the installation tech isolated the problem to one of the 24volt contactors and jump wired it so I would be able to use the machine until a replacement contactor arrived.
It did disable the mushroom and cable E stop when jump wired.
Not a huge deal as I an the sole operator, however,
I have a technician scheduled to install the low voltage contactor and insure the E stops functional.
Thanks for the reply.

Dear Team,

I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to report an issue with our SELCO EB80 machine, purchased in 2004, and to seek your technical assistance. Below are the machine's specifications for your reference:

Machine Specifications:

Model: SELCO EB80
Serial Number: 36736
Year of Construction: 2004
Air Supply: 7 BAR
Suction Flow Rate: 30 m/sec
Weight: 3950 kg
Power Supply Voltage: 380 VAC
Rated Current: 36 A
Number of Power Supply Phases: 3
Power: 19 kW
Frequency: 50 Hz
Circuit Capacity: Suitable for circuits delivering up to 10 kA RMS sym at the power supply voltage
Issue Description:
During routine checks, we identified a problem with the analog output A01, which controls the speed of the pusher during its movement. The output voltage of this analog channel is unstable and fluctuates, causing irregular displacement and noticeable vibrations in the pusher motor.

Technical Details:

The output voltage of analog channel A01 fluctuates between 0.67 V and 0.58 V during the pusher's movement.
This fluctuation leads to inconsistent movement and vibration of the pusher motor.
Actions Taken:

We performed a thorough inspection of the machine, including the drive and other related components.
All checked components appear to be functioning correctly, and no faults were detected.
The issue seems isolated to the HSD P250A analog output card, but we are unsure if this card needs to be replaced or if further troubleshooting is required.
Request for Guidance:
We would appreciate your input and expertise in resolving this issue. Specifically:

Are there specific tests or diagnostics you recommend to confirm if the issue lies with the HSD P250A analog output card?
If the card requires replacement, could you confirm the appropriate replacement part number and availability?
Could improper calibration of the analog output cause this issue? If so, how should we proceed to recalibrate the system?
Are there any software updates, settings, or parameters we should review or adjust to stabilize the analog output?
Could you provide a troubleshooting guide or diagnostic checklist specific to this issue?
Is it possible that environmental factors (e.g., temperature, vibration) could cause the fluctuation?
Could this issue be related to an electrical interference or grounding problem?
Additional Support:
If necessary, we are happy to provide additional data, photos, or videos to assist with diagnostics.

We look forward to hearing your insights and appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue promptly. Please let us know if there is anything further we can do from our end to support the troubleshooting process.

Thank you for your time and expertise.

    FORUM GUIDELINES: Please review the guidelines below before posting at WOODWEB's Interactive Message Boards (return to top)

  • WOODWEB is a professional industrial woodworking site. Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate.
  • Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question.
  • A valid email return address must be included with each message.
  • Advertising is inappropriate. The only exceptions are the Classified Ads Exchange, Machinery Exchange, Lumber Exchange, and Job Opportunities and Services Exchange. When posting listings in these areas, review the posting instructions carefully.
  • Subject lines may be edited for length and clarity.
  • "Cross posting" is not permitted. Choose the best forum for your question, and post your question at one forum only.
  • Messages requesting private responses will be removed - Forums are designed to provide information and assistance for all of our visitors. Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services.
  • Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.
  • Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.
  • Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.
  • Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.
  • Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.
  • Comments, questions, or criticisms regarding Forum policies should be directed to WOODWEB's Systems Administrator
    (return to top).

    Carefully review your message before clicking on the "Send Message" button - you will not be able to revise the message once it has been sent.

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).

    The staff of WOODWEB assume no responsibility for the accuracy, content, or outcome of any posting transmitted at WOODWEB's Message Boards. Participants should undertake the use of machinery, materials and methods discussed at WOODWEB's Message Boards after considerate evaluation, and at their own risk. WOODWEB reserves the right to delete any messages it deems inappropriate. (return to top)
