Identify control card type and axis count

Access MOD function, navigate to System Info to determine if using CC424, CC6106, CC6108, CC6110 and total axis configuration.

Document the exact control card part number for reference

Verify current encoder connections

Check physical encoder cable connections at control card and compare against valid pairs (e.g., X15/X17, X16/X18 for 6-axis CC424).

Power down system before checking connections

Reconfigure encoder connections

Move encoder cables to correct paired inputs according to control card specifications and update machine parameters MP1020 (axis assignment) accordingly.

Always move both master and slave encoders simultaneously to maintain pairing

Update axis assignment parameters

Modify MP1020.x entries to reflect new encoder input assignments and verify MP1030 master-slave configuration matches physical connections.

Check system architecture

Access MOD function, System Info to identify if multiple controller motherboards are present in the system configuration.

Look for multiple NC software instances or distributed axis configurations

Verify axis controller assignment

Review MP1020 axis assignment parameters to confirm both master and slave axes reference encoder inputs on the same controller motherboard.

Changing controller assignments may affect other machine functions

Relocate axis assignments

Physically move encoder connections or reconfigure MP1020 parameters to ensure master-slave pair operates from same controller motherboard.

Consider system load balancing when reassigning axes between controllers

Validate torque control parameters

Verify MP1030 master-slave configuration and MP1040 torque control settings reference the correct controller and encoder inputs.

Access axis assignment parameters

Navigate to MOD function, Machine Parameters, locate MP1020.0 through MP1020.x for all configured axes.

Create backup of current parameters before making changes

Cross-reference valid encoder pairs

Compare current MP1020 assignments against valid pairs for your control card type (CC424, CC6106, etc.) from system documentation.

Incorrect assignments can cause axis runaway conditions

Correct parameter assignments

Modify MP1020 entries to assign master-slave axes to valid encoder input pairs, ensuring sequential pairing requirements are met.

Use lowest numbered valid pair first to optimize system performance

Restart control system

Perform controlled restart to activate new parameter settings and verify alarm clearance during initialization sequence.

Review torque control parameters

Access MP1030 master-slave configuration parameters and identify which axes are designated as master and slave pairs.

Document existing configuration before making changes

Verify encoder input compatibility

Confirm that axes specified in MP1030 correspond to encoder inputs that form valid pairs on your specific control card configuration.

Mismatched torque control can cause mechanical damage

Reconfigure torque control assignment

Modify MP1030 parameters to reference only axes connected to valid encoder input pairs, or disable torque control if not required.

Consider mechanical coupling requirements when reassigning master-slave relationships

Test torque control operation

Perform controlled movement test to verify proper master-slave synchronization and torque distribution after parameter changes.

Perform encoder signal diagnostics

Use TNC diagnostic screens to monitor encoder signal quality and verify proper signal reception at assigned input connectors.

Check both master and slave encoder signals simultaneously

Inspect physical connections

Examine encoder cable connections, connector pins, and control card input connectors for damage, corrosion, or loose connections.

Use proper ESD protection when handling control card components

Test with known good encoders

Temporarily swap encoder connections with known working axes to isolate whether issue is encoder-related or control card input failure.

Document original connections before swapping for easy restoration

Replace faulty hardware components

Replace damaged encoder cables, connectors, or control card if hardware failure is confirmed through diagnostic testing.
