Hi Guys;
My old GCC Mercury has been a stable stalwart for many years and often used for small jobs. This morning I turned it on-machine initializes fine but when I go to raise the table it moves up a bit and then stops-panel has message which says: Exception Vector 05.
I have never seen this before- Any ideas or inputs welcome.
Best Regards,
George

Don't know about that error George.. but that sounds like a system call problem.
You might check the RAM and re-seat it.. see if there's dust bunnies built up on
the circuit boards (you know.. the easy stuff, because that's all i know about)

Thanks, Chuck
Got tip from Rodne-seems z axis limit switch was stuck-all OK now
Thanks, Rodne

glad you back running. I thought about the switch, but since the table started
moving I didn't think it the most likely.. but I don't know what the logic flow is
on these machines, either.
