Temperature Fault!
This fault is asserted when the tool temperature detector has reached the
temperature limit set by the Temperature Limit parameter. It resets after detected
temperature has dropped by 5°C.
Unrecognized Tool!
The controller is communicating to the tool but does not recognize the model
number written in the tool memory board.
Tool Communications! The controller is not communicating to a tool.
Transducer Current Fault!
Transducer current has fallen outside nominal values. For EA, EB and EC series
tools that is 4.16 mA +/- 75% (1 to 7mA).
Unsupported Tool!
The wrong tool type has been connected to the controller. The Alpha controller
cannot run the tool that is connected.
Servo Connection Fault!
The CPU has lost communication to the DSP on the Logic board. This may
happen on a reboot after and upgrade as the CPU resets before the DSP.
Spindle Communications The lead controller loses communications with a trailing spindle controller.
