all the cars have tiny ropes. i think the rtm program variable was 8mm for rope size, number of ropes was 6. I just double checked with him, and he says those were the only faults. i told him to call me before resetting next time.

IDWT the other building is a 2 car group, the one i asked about the phase fault. we swapped every board,and could not get the fault to clear, so i know it was not a board problem. we had it shipped out for repair, and they just put it back in this afternoon. drive fault cleared, no more phase fault 709 , or timed overcurrent fault. car runs great. did not speak to repair technicians but heard they replaced some capacitors? maybe the dc buss caps? or some components in the power structure, or possibly the LEM units, thats all that was left to replace as far as i could see. there was 670vdc on the buss, so really not sure what they found will have to see if they can be more precise. good thing is it is running. thanks to ACCESS Electronics they did another great job of fixing a drive, was a little pricey at over 6K dollars, but thats what you pay if you want to play with the big boys. ha ha
