PLC does indeed show it to be the Z-axis feed module.

SIEMENS SINAMICS FEED MODULE FAULT OR IMPACT RESISTANT HEAD TRIPPED(Via Profibus or Profinet)
Z AXIS FEED MODULE FAULTED Fault1=7900 Flt2=0 Flt3=0 AbsPos=-0.0367 FE=0.0367

Managed to get it homed, then it faults while no motion is being ...

Moving the head manually makes me think it's on the z-axis somewhere. I can move X,Y,B,C without incident, when I try to move the z-axis to its home position the sensor trips.

Scratch that. Determined that switch is normally closed. Bypassed it, to troubleshoot, and its still tripping. There must be another impact sensor I'm not seeing.

As I said, Ive adjusted my thinking to account for this, I just ...

Sorry, started one thought and finished with another.

Wondering if this is normal or not? Ive adjusted to it, but it seems very odd.

For this example I will say X+ is LEFT Y+ is FORWARD and Z+ is UP.

Lets say my current ZERO is set (X50 Y30 Z-13 B0) from home. If I cut my piece at this location and then use (G92 X10 Y0) followed by
(G00 X0 Y0) the ...

Id use the virtual service, but since I work 3rd shift I dont really have that opportunity.

Do we have to have a technician come out to add inputs/outputs to the board for electric air valves, vaccum, etc...

For larger company's the script can also help see if employees have loaded the wrong ...
