Multiple X Axis
Looking at a Hardinge 710 Mill with 828D and Sinamics drives today with multiple X axis alarms. After a few tests, a faulty motor was diagnosed, more specifically the SMI 20 unit, which had failed to break the motor encoder communications to drive.
We removed the motor, a new SMI 20 was fitted and the configuration was reloaded. The X axis was then a mile out as it had an absolute encoder on, so after a re-teach of the absolute 0 position, the machine was put back into production.

"There's a funny smell coming from the electrical cabinet." The 50A spindle drive on the Siemens 810D went bang. All three phases failed the diode test (no surprise there).
This is a fairly common failure on CCU boxes, specifically on the 50A spindle drive.
