26.7 Deselecting and disconnecting the touch probe
You suspect a defective touch probe (short-circuit, etc.)?
Now, you want to test the control function without touch probe connected.
Proceed as follows:
8 Close all active probing cycles.
8 Remove the touch probe from the spindle (by hand or automatically).
8 Press the EMERGENCY STOP button and shut down the control.
8 Switch off the machine.
8 Disconnect the touch probes from the PLB 62xx or UEC 11x (connectors X112 and X113).
8 Switch the machine back on again.
8 Observe, whether error messages are repeated or error conditions recur.
