Redline Error code 14 (solved, link in comments)

Just assembled my new Onefinity with the Redline spindle and controller. I am getting Error code 14 on the DRO. I have tried all the possible resolutions shown in the Redline manual to no avail. Have checked and rechecked connections, etc. Anyone else have this problem?

It’s in the elite series gen 1 redline manual (page 48 and 49) and the redline spindle manual (page 60).

As the referenced pages in the setup manual (Redline Elite Gen 1 anyway) don’t mention either Err 14 or the DRO, it’s not intuitively obvious how the contents of those pages help. I had the same problem and found I had to do the following.

Power on the VFD. Then power on the black box controller. Next power on the HMI. Make sure the DRO is not in Manual Mode. You’ll see the Err 14 message on the DRO. Hit the Reset button on the DRO. The display should revert to a number like “300” which represents the previous speed setting for the spindle (using the speed knob on the DRO).

Now hit Home in the HMI so the machine is ready. Now assuming you have the spindle configured per the manual, you should be able to go to the spindle tab and hit the bacon (3 wavy lines) icon to initiate the spindle warmup. If that doesn’t work, put the DRO in manual mode (push the left side button) and twist the speed control knob on the DRO and the spindle should start. If that doesn’t work, you’ll need to start chasing VFD/controller/spindle wiring issues.

Thank You Jim, that worked for me as well. Today finally this is the first time I have tried to get the spindle running. I waited till I had almost everything in place and hooked up. I am assuming that the automatic vacuum hookup with the IOT and mini in-out board that came with the gen 2 machine does not operate the vac in warm up mode at least I Hope that is the case, lol because the vac did not come one when the spindle did on warm-up. We will see after the twenty-minute warm up. Is there also a break-in version of the bacon button?

Not that I’m aware of. That’s likely because it’s only done once.

Redline provides a break-in file here:

Having used it a couple of weeks ago to break in a new 220V spindle I can say it has the most recent break in cycle (which has been noted here in the forums but at the time of my break-in was not current in their manuals)

I’ll provide the file here as well for convenience, since I had to stop over there to get the URL to paste here in any case.
