I think the PLC file was corrupted, as if I am in automatic mode and press aux on (to reload changed control bits) the machine moves both axes and turns coolant on. I get an error: 6038 PLC: aux.funct. in chanal 2. I can hit reset and proceed normally. In trying to fix this problem I cleared the PLC flags in the diagnostics menu. Now I get a 'Key Switch On' error that limits my machine access (editing and using different programs) in addition to the automatic/aux on 6038 PLC error problem. The problem is I do not have a key switch on my machine and bit 0 of Setting Data 5009 is set to 1. I am still able to load new programs and have copies of the PLC file (pcp.txt.v04) but do not know how to reload that. Any assistance on either problem is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris

This will cause the L710 cycle to run and transfer the bits to Flag bits. Now your keyswitch will be set. The cycle L710 is known as the "Data Transfer Cycle". When you press the Aux On button in Auto mode, make sure you see the green Program Running LED go on for a couple seconds. If you get an alarm stating no program exists, then guess what...the program/cycle is missing.
