Most likely thing I'd check first is a loose connection on the velocity
command to the
servo amp. Check to see if the control shows the Z axis movement on the
display.
That would indicate the encoder is working correctly. If no display
change, then
it probably means the encoder has died, the cable is bad, or similar
problem. Possibly
a broken encoder coupling.

But, if the control can't even take a program download, it is going to
be a BIG
pain to use. You want to type IN all your G-code on the machine?

So, you may want to plan a retrofit from the beginning.
