Powering up 5 PRO

Downloaded the carbide motion and it’s not recognizing. Reinstalled 2x, checked all cables and changed outlets with no success. Help? Sent ticket in and no call yet.

There are two switches — one on the controller, the other on a pendant — have you tried all 4 possible positions?

Does the front light light up?

Do the motors lock?

Ground confirmed to be secured. All plug and play connections are correct. At a loss of why it’s not coming on. No front light, no motor activity.

It looks like you have your spindle and power pendant cable wired up backward. The spindle wire has an SKW label in white, it connects to the spindle adapter and then to the black machine controller. The power pendant cable has over-molded ends with Carbide 3D logos, one end goes into the power pendant, the other directly into the controller.

Power everything down, swap the connections and try it out.
