18.2.2 Axes with Integral Digital Speed Controller
Depending on the machine parameter MP1900 the driving axes of TNC 425/E are individually defined as
analogue axes (as TNC 415 B/F) or as digital axes.
With axes with integral digital speed controller (corresponding bit of MP1900 = 1) a TTL voltage
is output at the analogue output.
If however, the axis does not move due to a defect, and if you want to test whether the error is inside or
outside the control, the following steps are recommended:
• Switch off the main switch.
• Disconnect the nominal value line from the connector X8 and check for short-circuit and line
disconnection.
• If the nominal value line is in order, leave it disconnected and connect the test adapter to
the connector X8.
• Switch on main switch and machine control voltage.
• Switch the position display to LAG (servo lag); see section 18.3.
• Define the axis to be checked as analogue controlled axis (MP1900, corresponding bit = 0)

• Turn the override potentiometer of the keyboard unit completely to the left and start reference mark
traverse for the defective axis.
• Check the axis enable for the defective axis at the servo amplifier.
• Check the screen display
* (control ready for operation) must be switched on, the F of the feed rate display must be lit normally
(if the display is inverse the feed rate enable is missing) and the symbol for "axis not in position loop"
(e.g. →|← X) must not follow the position display.
• Turn the override potentiometer slowly to the right and turn it back left before the servo lag display
reaches the limit of the position monitoring.
