    I do not think the new firmware actually alters the machines, it is just new firmware for the machine to run on just like any new firmware that comes with Designer upgrades. The machine will run with whatever firmware is on the card. One just needs to update all of one's cards.

    I was wrong. Firmware lives on the card, not the machine. Update each card.

    "The message, which reads, “Check Cut Motor”, is a result of a new manufacturing technique on the cutmotors which has made them more efficient than their predecessors."

    I get this often with my B machine. Does this mean my "old" motor is "more efficient"?

    Your cutmotor could be:
    1) Not spinning up fast enough/consuming too much power
    2) Spinning up too fast/consuming too little power (fixed)
    3) Has a broken/failing sensor

    Choose one.

    I choose 2 that means it's fixed! I will have to give it a try.

    I think 2 is the new motor case which is the stated reason for the fix. I believe the check cut motor routine has been removed from the firmware. No more checking means no more CCM message in either case 1,2 or, 3.

    I was trying to be funny.

    I could have an intermittent sensor problem. The sensor test checks out fine every time that I test it, and I don't get this message on every Centerline, vector cut, or cutout; the problem is intermittent. I did get some new information. I thought that the check ment a speed issue, but I was not aware it could also be a current issue. For diagnostic purposes it would be good to know which of the two conditions is causing the check so as to zero in on a fix. I could be my sensor, and it could also be that my motor is drawing too much power on occasion. That makes sense to me; as the commutator gets worn I could see this happening. I have somewhere over 1000 hours on my cut motor.

    I don't think so:
    "consuming too little power (fixed)"
    "a new manufacturing technique on the cutmotors which has made them more efficient" (less power)"
