INTRODUCTION
Axis jumper plugs are often used by GE Fanuc Field Service personnel to jumper out
certain signals to the Axis Command, Axis Feedback, and Servo Drive connectors. They
have proven useful during the initial powerup of a system and also when troubleshooting.
Axis jumper plugs consist of Honda MR or PCR series 20-pin connectors that contain
jumper wires (and pull-up resistors in one case) to loop back the required signals. The
MR series are used with 0/10/11/12/15 controls with A quad B or serial feedback (0/15
only) and also with analog and digital drives. The PCR series are used with newer
controls (16/18/Power Mate D/etc.) and drives (C-series, Alpha). Refer to the following
figures for detailed connections.
DESCRIPTIONS
1. CNC Axis Command Plug (for Digital Servo systems)
This plug connects to the CNC where the command cable normally goes. It loops back
the *MCON (MCC-on command) signal to the *DRDY (drive ready acknowledgement)
signal. This tells the CNC that the Digital Servo Drive has successfully powered up.
With this connector installed, the axis can be commanded with the Machine Lock (MLK)
interface bit active. Position registers will update and blocks will transfer but no actual
axis motion occurs. Without this connector, a VRDY OFF error message will occur.
2. CNC Axis Command Plug (for Analog Servo systems)
This plug connects to the CNC where the command cable normally resides. It loops back
the motor/drive overheat signal and the drive acknowledgement signals. With this
connector installed, the axis can be commanded with the Machine Lock (MLK) interface
bit active. Position registers will update and blocks will transfer but no actual axis
motion occurs. Without this connector, a VRDY OFF and OVERLOAD error message
will occur.

3. Axis Feedback Plug (A quad B type for Digital and Analog Servo)
This plug connects to the feedback connector on the axis or master board for digital servo
systems. It connects to the servo drive PCB, axis, and master boards for analog systems.
It provides the A quad B and Marker signals to the CNC to satisfy the hardware portion
of the "Pulse Coder Disconnect" detection circuitry in the CNC. The Motor Overheat
input is also jumpered to prevent the "Overload" message on the CRT. This plug can be
used on both the Built-in feedback and the Separate-type feedback connections (even
though the Motor Overheat sensing is only performed on the Built-in feedback).
Use of this plug allows you to isolate each unit and check for errors on the CRT or servo
drive (analog only).
4. DRIVE Command Plug (for Digital Servo Drive units)
This plug connects to CN1 of the Digital Servo Drive PCB. It allows the MCC contacter
to energize if 100Vac is present at T1-3,4 and there are no HV, LV, HC, and OH alarms
detected in the drive. For multi-axis drives, any or all drive elements may be jumpered-
out to allow local powerup and error detection of the drive unit. If a problem is detected
with jumpers installed on the drive unit, your troubleshooting attention can be focused on
the drive instead of the CNC. Since no PWM signals are connected, no axis motion can
occur when the drive is jumpered. For Alpha drives, the same dummy plug can be used
with Type A or Type B interface.
5. DRIVE Command Plug (for Analog Servo Drive units)
This plug connects to CN1 of the servo drive PCB. It allows the MCC contacter in the
Analog Servo Drive to energize if 100Vac is present at T1-3,4 and there are no HV, LV,
HC, TG and OH alarms detected in the drive. For multi-axis drives, any or all drive
elements may be jumpered-out to allow local powerup and error detection of the drive
unit. If a problem is detected with jumpers installed on the drive unit, your
troubleshooting attention can be focused on the drive or built-in feedback instead of the
CNC. Although VCMD is jumpered to zero, a slight drift in axis motion can occur. If
you adjust the balance pot on the drive unit to alter this drift, you will have to check the
CNC balance setting (parameter).
