Afterburner Climax DLX, Motor Drive BD Communication Error ABS01

Post by Bodi79 »

Hello there !

I am new here, but would be glad if somebody could help me out.

I recently acquired an Afterburner Climax DLX from our Local Cinema cause they were downsizing.

Sadly i ran into a problem i just can´t solve.

The System boots thru until Cabinet Initializing (for about a Minute or so) and gives a Motor Drive BD Communication Error ABS01.

I checked and rechecked all connections for several times and couldn´t find a Solution. Thing is when i turn off Movement in the Service / Testmenu the Game boots thru without issues.

Since i couldn´t find a Manual or Service Manual for the Afterburner Climax DLX anywhere i am tapping in the Dark. So i really would appreciate any help.

I added a photo gallery hope that isn´t against the rules:

@everyone

I contacted Sega today and they were very helpful with an diagnostic guide.

Sadly the Board which powers the Servo Motors is dead.

And the Board was not produced by Sega, it was from Simuline specifically for the Afterburner Climax SDLX.

Yet Sega doesn´t have spare Boards anymore and Simuline seem to have ended Support for the Board a while ago.

So it seems i am stuck..


Cheers

Follow up, i was able to get a newer Revision MotionBoard booting with the Real Time Linux.

But i think some files on the Compact Flash Card on the Motionboard were corrupted since it gets stuck at some point.

Does anybody own an SDLX , really need a copy of the CF Card desperately. (Must not be for free.. i am willing to pay for a copy)

Any help is as always appreciated


Thanks
Ronald

Did you ever solve this? I have 2 Afterburner cabinets with the same error. When you said motor driver board which board are you referring to? The PC104 stack near the Lindbergh computer or the actual motor driver board near the linear actuators?

I can help you with the files.
