Background
These ATCs use an ATC control board (powered through the 68 Vdv DC-BUS) and power drawbar control board (powered through a 12 Vdc daughter board via the DC-BUS). These two communicate by an RJ11 cable (DB3). Finally, the power drawbar control board has an additional RJ11 (DB1) that is connected to the VFD so they can commutate whether the spindle is running or not.
Reseat the USB Cable

Unplug and replug and/or replace the USB cable. When connecting the cable, the PathPilot Status tab will indicate if it can see the USB interface.
Restore Power
Reason: The ATC control board or power drawbar control board has lost power.
...
Inspect to see if there are lights on the ATC control board.
Measure 65 Vdc at DC-BUS (503+ and 504-) ad then on the ATC control board.
Measure 12 Vdc from the daughter board at the DC-BUS (501- and 502+) and at the power drawbar control board.
...
