Communication Error (CNC-Spindle Amplifier, 15i)

What does SP0228 mean?

A general communication error occurred between the CNC and the serial spindle amplifier for Series 15i. This is a broad indication of communication failure, requiring further investigation into the communication link.

• A general communication failure between the CNC and the serial spindle amplifier (15i).
• Incorrect serial port configuration on either device.
• The spindle amplifier is not powered on or is in a fault state.
• A break in the serial communication line.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Confirm the serial port is enabled in the CNC parameters (e.g., P71-01).

2. 2

   Check if the spindle amplifier is powered and its status indicator is normal.

3. 3

   Measure the voltage at the serial communication terminals (e.g., TXD, RXD).

4. 4

   Re-seat the serial cable connector at both the CNC and the spindle amplifier.
