Test 2: Galil and I/O Test
The Galil and I/O board test checks the Galil board and the I/O printed circuit board
(PCB). Use this test when you suspect a problem with the servo motor. That is, if you
cannot turn on the servo motors on the Teach-mode window or if you execute the
SVON command and the ? prompt is returned, use this test
The dialog is divided into four sections:
The Ports box displays robot I/O port status. If a port communication fails, the mes-
sage Port X BAD! is displayed, , where X is the port designator. If Port B Failed is dis-
played, it is probable that the signal cable is loose. Ensure that all cables are correctly
connected. The test returns to Diagnostic Main menu. If that happens, repeat the test.
If the test fails again, check the jumper settings. If the jumper settings are correct,
replace the I/O board.
Testing Input G
Testing input G indicates the controller internal connection based on the Port G infor-
mation. Input G should be all zerses when all cables, including robot signal cable, are
connected. If any bits are 1, press the Details button to view a description of each bit.
