9.1.6 Bad or Missing Command Interpreter

<ERROR DESCRIPTION

The System did not find the required files on Drive C: necessary to initialize the Disk

Operating System (DOS).

The screen displays : Bad or missing command interpreter

The System operates from the RDISK daughter board located on the FC386 PCB. EPROMS

located on the RDISK board contain the System operating files. From this board, the System

looks to Drive C: for the file #OPTION1.SYS. If the file is not found, this error will occur.

1. Verify that power is off, and disconnect any component cables connected to the FC386

PCB. Remove the two (2) screws holding the FC386 PCB face plate (on front of the Main

Unit), and pull out straight to remove the PCB.

2. Locate the RDISK daughter board installed at the approximate center of the FC386 PCB.

Remove the two (2) screws from the RDISK daughter board that are connecting it to the

FC386 PCB. Reinstall the FC386 PCB (without the RDISK daughter board) to enable

System boot-up from Drive A: (FDD1).

3. Insert the disk containing the file "#OPTION1.SYS" into the Drive A:, and copy the file

(A:COPY #OPTION1.SYS) into the Drive C: root directory. This file redirects the boot

sequence to the RDISK daughter board on the FC386 PCB (logical Drive D:). The file

contains the following: SHELL=D:\COMMAND.COM D:\ /P /E:512. After the file is

copied to Drive C:, remove the disk from Drive A:

4. Remove the FC386 from the Main Unit. Reinstall the RDISK daughter board onto the

FC386 PCB with two (2) screws, then reinstall the FC386 PCB into the Main Unit.

5. Verify there are no disks in Drive A: and reconnect any cables removed in Step 1.

6. Power up the System. The System should now boot from the RDISK board (D:) directly

into the AFC1200 program.

7. If problem still exists, turn off power. Remove the FC386 PCB, and verify correct

installation of all removable IC chips on the FC386 PCB and the associated RDISK

daughter board. Verify that the FC386 PCB battery is properly installed, and less than

three (3) years old.

8. Reinstall the FC386 PCB. Ensure that the circuit board is properly seated.

9. Turn on the power. If problem still exists, replace the FC386 PCB and the associated

RDISK daughter board. (Refer to Section 8.3)

10. If problem still exists, replace the entire Main Unit. (Refer to Section 8.3)

9.1.7 Failure to Fasten

<ERROR DESCRIPTION

The System power on initialization is completed, but the System is not responding to fastening

commands from the station control.

1. Check for Abnormal indicators or messages. If an Abnormal is present, then reference the

appropriate Section of Chapter 9, correct the Abnormal, and attemp to fasten again.

2. Verify that the Axis Units are set to the NORMAL mode. If they are set to IN BYPASS,

they will not respond to input signals.

3. Verify that the READY message appears in the upper right hand display of the Fastening

Data screen. If the STOP message appears, it indicates that the Main Controller Unit
