Common Causes
- Communication failure between two serial spindle amplifiers (e.g., odd/even numbered pair) (30i).
- A shared communication line issue affecting multiple amplifiers.
- One of the involved amplifiers is not properly addressed or configured.
- Interference on the inter-amplifier communication bus.
