    Hi Yobuddy,

    No I haven't been successful in getting it all up and running yet. It would appear that we had a power surge event that took out the Computer USB port, the 4-way USB hub, all 3 USB-RS485 adapters potentially 2 SCN6's!!!

    I spent some time on it today (after a break due to sickness) and after replacing the hub and wiring in 3 new USB-RS485's I was able to communicate with each amplifier and get one axis running again, but I was getting errors on the other 2. I did a test matrix and found that all 3 external amplifiers work with the one SCN6 so no issues with them, but when I use the original working amplifier on the other 2 SCN6's I get an E8 on one and E9 errors on the other. The documentation list both errors as Encoder issues, so time to dig deeper.

    I'll start a new thread on the Hardware forum.
