PLCSYS.EXE error-PLC has terminated please restart

[Dave McPherson]

Hi Everyone,
I have been have some touble with our machine the last couple weeks. The Thermwood tech guys have been helping me out to trouble shoot, which i really appreciate! Hopefully, the problem is fixed as of this afternoon. I am just curious, if anyone had or knows what this error is

Error message:
PLCSYS.exe
System info: PLC has terminated please restart

I have been having this error a bunch of times over the past couple weeks. i tried search on the internet to see if i could find anything, but i did not have any luck. i am just trying to find out what PLCSYS.exe does that it is causing an error

Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
Be sure you back up the files listed below. Although deleting the PLCHIST.thm should not cause any problems, it is always good to do so.

o C:\Rolling Nest\machine. (Control Nesting - SETTINGS)
o C:\Rolling Nest\tools.thm (Control Nesting - TOOLS)
o C:\Rolling Nest\material.mdb (Control Nesting - Material Database)
o C:\system\toolman.thm (THM Tool Manager Settings, F10, F9, F2)
o C:\offset.tab (Fixture offsets for G52L#)
o C:\MACROS (Contains M999, most commonly altered)
o D:\DATA (Contains all CNC files and folders)
Optional:
o C:\system\ cmark.bin
o C:\system\ Thmfmt.bin
o C:\system\ THMMSU.BIN
o C:\ Msufmt \ “Machine number”.MSU


If this error is popping up randomly try deleting the PLCHIST.thm file from the C:\SYSTEM directory. Then reboot the Control.

The PLCSYS.exe is what starts the software. When you click on the THM icon to start up the THM software you are essentially clicking the PLCSYS.exe.

Let us know if this works or not.. Thanks.
