fatal error 181

[dench]

hello evryone has anybody never encounter 181 load a project the machine start to measure the bord in the middle of the operation it start to go back and foward faster and faster then fatal error 181 i tryed multiple time same result this is a new machine running1.120 thank you dench

DENCH,

I tried a search on the forum and also a search on our troubleshooting guide and found no answer.
I would call LHR in the morning and then, please post your answer to the problem.
We are all in a learning mode.

When I first started that was the first problem I had and had to send it back, after receiving it back and updating the card been working smooth ever since.

hello badjer i have contacted hlr and the told me it was a faulty decoder they will send me one i whish they test those machines before sending them out this is the 4 faulty one i got after this one back to sears it goes have a nice day dench

ty rpringle for taking the time to check i appreciated very mutch ty again

[dench]

sorry faulty encoder

DENCH,
I had trouble, out of the box with each of my machines, the first one had a VERY stiff Quick Change Chuck, the second with a faulty power supply.

I would strongly recomend working with LHR to fix the problem rather than returning it and maybe getting a new problem from China.

For me Tech. Support has been exccelent and the repaired product is better than new.

A quick check to troubleshoot this problem would be to call up the x encoder data in options and it displays the numbers. Slowly move the brass roller with your finger and if all is well it will count up and down to your finger motion. A bad encoder will jump large gaps in the numbers.

The encoder used binary weighted bits. A example of this is.

1 = on or high logic state light on
0 = off or low logic state light off


16 8 4 2 1 Binary Bit weights

0 0 0 0 0 = 0
0 0 0 0 1 = 1
0 0 0 1 0 = 2
0 0 0 1 1 = 3
0 0 1 0 0 = 4
0 0 1 0 1 = 5
0 0 1 1 0 = 6
0 0 1 1 1 = 7
0 1 0 0 0 = 8
0 1 0 0 1 = 9
0 1 0 1 0 = 10
0 1 0 1 1 = 11
0 1 1 0 0 = 12
0 1 1 0 1 = 13
0 1 1 1 0 = 14
0 1 1 1 1 = 15 This = a 16 bit counter with 0 or all off considered a logic state. 0 to 15.

And so on...... 1 1 1 1 1 would = 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 31

512 as in computer ram is 256 + 128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

If a wire from a bit weight is damaged or the encoder bad then you will not see a linear movement of the numbers in relationship to motion of the encoder. That is why the quickly moving back and forth as the computer is confused.

As a side note next time you upload your project to your card look at the K Bytes available = 7777 or in binary 111 111 111 111 K (thousand) Bytes.

Back to work...

Good Luck,

AL
