Battery-backed memory is restored from backup copy (risk of loss

of data !)
Explanation
During power-up, it has been detected that inconsistencies are possible in the
battery-backed memory.
The battery-backed memory was initialized using the last back-up copy. As a
result, the changes in the battery-backed memory, which have been made since
the last update of the backup copy, were lost. This may be caused by the fact
that the buffer time has been exceeded. Please make sure that the appropriate
on-time of your control system complies with the on-time required by the Startup Guide.
The current backup copy of the battery-backed memory was created using the
internal data backup carried out last using the softkey "Save data" in the HMI.

Machine data alteration will cause reorganization of buffered memory

(loss of data!)
Explanation
An MD has been altered which configures the buffered memory. An NCK boot
with the altered data will reorganize the buffered memory and thus result in a
loss of all buffered user data (part programs, tool data, GUD, LEC, ..).
Response
Alarm display.
Remedy
If the control system contains user data which have not yet been backed up,
these data must be saved before the next NCK boot. The reorganization of the
memory can be avoided by resetting the altered MD to the value during the last
boot manually.

Response
Alarm display.
Remedy
No remedial action possible - the operating action that resulted in the alarm
message must be repeated. Press Cancel to clear the alarm display.
6 000
Memory reorganized using standard machine data
Explanation
The memory management could not realize the NC user memory mapping with
the values provided in the machine data, because the total memory is used by
the NC user both as a dynamic and a static memory (e.g. for the number of tool
offsets, number of directories and files, etc.) and is therefore not sufficient.
Response
Alarm display.
NC Start inhibited.
NC Stop at alarm.
Remedy
Redefine NC memory mapping!

It is not possible to specify a certain MD as an alarm cause for the NC user
memory assignment. The MD that has caused the alarm must therefore be determined on the base of the default values in the machine data and by modifying the user-specific memory assignment step by step.
In most cases, not only an individual MD is selected too large, and it is therefore recommended to reduce the memory area in several MDs by a certain
fraction.
6 020
Machine data have been altered - now memory is reorganized
Explanation
Machine data defining the NC user memory mapping have been altered. The
data management has re-mapped the memory with respect of the altered machine data.
Response
Alarm display.
Remedy
No remedial action required. Any user data needed must be re-entered.

Channel %1 block %2 danger of collision due to tool radius compensation
Explanation
%1 = Channel number
The 'bottle neck detection' (calculation of the intersection point of the following, corrected traversing blocks) was not able to calculate an intersection point
for the overviewed number of traversing blocks, resulting in the risk that one of
the equidistant paths will violate the workpiece contour.
Response
Alarm display.
NC Start inhibited.
Remedy
Check the part program and modify the program (if possible) such that inner
corners with paths shorter than the compensation value are avoided. (Outer
corners are not critical, since the equidistants are elongated or intermediate
blocks are inserted so that an intersection point is always provided).

Channel %1 block %2 overflow of local block buffer with tool radius

compensation
Explanation
%1 = Channel number
The tool radius compensation must buffer an alternating number of intermediate blocks in order to be able to calculate the equidistant tool path for each NC
block. The size of the buffer memory cannot easily be determined. It depends
on the number of blocks without traversing information in the compensation
level and the number of contour elements to be inserted.
The size of the buffer memory is fixed by the system and cannot be altered via
MD.
Response
Alarm display.
NC Start inhibited.
Remedy
Reduction of the buffer memory which has been occupied by modifying the NC
program. This can be achieved if you avoid the following:
blocks without traversing information in the compensation level
blocks that contain contour elements with variable curves (e.g. ellipses)
and curve radii which are smaller than the compensation radius. (Such
blocks are split into several partial blocks).

The block with G40 must contain at least one axis of the plane G17 to G19;
both axes are always recommended, since usually both axes traverse when

Channel %1 block %2 do not activate tool radius compensation via

KONT at the current starting point
Explanation
%1 = Channel number
When activating the cutter radius compensation via KONT, the start point of

contour.
6FC5598-3AA20-0BP2
1-26

01.02
1 Alarms
When deselecting the cutter radius compensation with G41/G42, the approach
behavior (NORM or KONT) determines the movement along the contour if the
current actual position is behind the contour. When KONT is active, a circle
with the cutter radius is drawn around the programmed start point
(= end point of approach block). The tangent that leads through the current
actual position and that does not violate the contour is the approach movement.
If the start point is within the compensation circle and around the target point,
the tangent will lead through this point.
Response
Alarm display.
NC Start inhibited.
Remedy
Place the selection of the cutter radius compensation such that the start point of
the approach movement will be outside the compensation circle around the
target point (programmed traversing movement > compensation radius). The
following possibilities are provided:
Selection in the preceding block
Insert intermediate block
Select approach behavior NORM
10 756
Channel %1 block %2 do not activate tool radius compensation via

KONT at the current starting point
Explanation
%1 = Channel number
When deselecting the cutter radius compensation, the programmed end point is
within the compensation circle. If this point would really be approached without compensation, a contour violation would be the consequence.
When the cutter radius compensation is deselected with G40, the starting behavior (NORM or KONT) will determine the movement along the contour if
the programmed end point is behind the contour. When KONT is active, a
circle with the cutter radius is drawn around the point at which the compensation is still active. The tangent that leads through the programmed end position
and that does not violate the contour is the starting movement.
If the programmed end point is within the compensation circle around the target point, no tangent will lead through this point.
Response
Alarm display.
NC Start inhibited.
Remedy
Place the deselection of the cutter radius compensation such that the programmed end point is outside the compensation circle around the last active
compensation point. The following possibilities are provided:

Channel %1 block %2 error in end point of circle
Explanation
%1 = Channel number
With circular interpolation, the distance either between the circle radii for start
point and end point or the distance between the circle center points is greater
than defined in the machine data.
1. Radii: The NCK calculates the radii for start and end point from the
current start point and the remaining programmed circle parameters. The
alarm message is output if the difference of the circle radii is greater than
the value in MD 21 000 CIRCLE_ERROR_CONST.
2. Center points: If the circles have a permissible difference, it is checked
whether the circle center point on the mean perpendicular is between start
and end point.

Channel %1 axis %2 zero reference mark not found
Explanation
%1 = Channel number
The zero mark of the incremental position encoder is not within the defined

The 2nd phase of reference-point approach ends when the zero mark of the
encoder has been detected after the rising/falling edge of the PLC interface
signal "DELAYED REFERENCE-POINT APPROACH" (V 380x1000.7) has
initiated trigger start. The maximum path distance between trigger start and the
zero mark following after the trigger start is defined in
MD 34 060 REFP_MAX_MARKER_DIST.
The monitoring prevents the zero mark signal from being overtraveled and the
next zero mark signal from being evaluated as a reference-point signal! (Faulty
cam adjustment or too high delay by PLC user program).
Response
NC Stop at alarm.

Axis %1 actual velocity alarm
Explanation

The actual speed of the axis is checked cyclically in IPO clock. If there is no
error, the actual speed can never be higher than defined in the axis-specific MD
36 200 AX_VELO_LIMIT (threshold value for speed monitoring). This
threshold value specified in [mm/min, rev/min] is entered by approx. 5 - 10 %
greater than it can occur with the maximum traversing speed. Drive errors
might result in exceeding the speed what causes the alarm.
Response

NC Start inhibited.
NC Stop at alarm.
Alarm display.
Remedy
Check speed setpoint cable (bus cable).

Check actual values and position-control direction.
Change position-control direction if the axis rotates uncontrolled axisspecific MD 32 110 ENC_FEEDBACK_POL = < -1, 0, 1 >.
Increase monitoring limit value in MD 36 200 AX_VELO_LIMIT.
25 040
Axis %1 standstill monitoring
Explanation

The NC monitors holding of the position in standstill. The monitoring is started
after an axis-specific time set in MD 36 040 STANDSTILL_DELAY_TIME
after the interpolation has been completed. It is continuously checked whether
the axis remains within its tolerance threshold set in MD 36 030
STANDSTILL_POS_TOL.
The following cases are possible:
1.
The interface signal SERVO ENABLE (V 380x0002.1) is zero, as the axis

is clamped mechanically. Mechanic influences (e.g. high forces due to machining) cause the axis to leave its permissible position tolerance.
2.
With the position control circuit closed (without clamping) - interface

signal SERVO ENABLE (V 380x0002.1) IS "1" - high mechanical forces
with low gain in the open-loop position control circuit cause the axis to
leave its position.

Remedy
Check MD 36 040 STANDSTILL_DELAY_TIME and

MD 36 030 STANDSTILL_POS_TOL and increase if necessary.
Estimate machining forces and reduce by feed reduction/speed increase if

necessary.
Increase clamping pressure.
Increase gain in the open-loop position control circuit by improved optimization (loop-gain factor MD 32 200 POSCTRL_GAIN).
25 050
Axis %1 contour monitoring
Explanation

The NCK calculates the actual value for each interpolation point (setpoint) of
an axis, which should result from an internal model. If the difference amount
between this calculated actual value and the real machine actual value is higher
than the amount set in MD CONTOUR_TOL, the program is aborted and the
alarm output.
Response

NC Start inhibited.
NC Stop at alarm.
Alarm display.
Remedy
Check optimization of the position controller (loop-gain factor in MD

32 200 POSCTRL_GAIN) to make sure that the axis follows the setpoint
setting dead-beat. Otherwise, speed controller optimization must be improved or the loop-gain factor (Kv factor) be reduced.
Check acceleration in MD 32 300 MAX_AX_ACCEL. If the current

limits are reached because of too high acceleration, the open-loop position
control is disconnected as a result of this. The "lost" actual value is recovered in the form of an overshoot as soon as the open-loop position control
circuit is closed again.
Improve speed controller optimization
Check mechanics (smooth running, rotational masses).
25 060
Axis %1 desired speed limit
Explanation

The speed setpoint has exceeded its upper limit MD 36 210
CTRLOUT_LIMIT longer than allowed. The specified axis speed exceeds
the motor nominal speed set in MD 32 260 RATED_VELO.

Correct setting of the drive controller and normal machining conditions provided, this alarm should not occur.
Check actual values: local heavy running of carriage, speed dip and
torque peak in case of workpiece/tool contact, traversing to a fixed obstacle, etc.
Check direction of position control: Does the axis move uncontrolled?
Check speed setpoint cable.
Reduce axis speed or increase MD 32 260 RATED_VELO.

The stepping-switch motor axes must be re-referenced. Press the RESET key to
clear the alarm.
25 070
Axis %1 drift limit exceeded
Explanation

For analog drives only!
The permissible maximum value of the drift (internal drift value integrated to
the automatic drift compensation) has been exceeded during compensation!
The permissible maximum value is defined in the axis-specific MD 36 710
DRIFT_LIMIT. The drift value itself is not limited.
Automatic drift compensation: MD 36 700 DRIFT_ENABLE = 1
The deviation of the actual position to the set position (drift) is automatically
checked cyclically in IPO clock and automatically compensated to zero by
slowly integrating an internal drift value.
Manual drift compensation: MD 36 700 DRIFT_ENABLE = 0
A static offset can be added to the speed setpoint in MD 36 720
DRIFT_VALUE. It will not be included in the speed monitoring, since it acts
as a voltage zero offset.
Response
Alarm display.
Remedy
Readjust drift compensation with automatic drift compensation on the drive

switched off until the following error is approximately zero. Then reactivate
automatic drift compensation to compensate dynamic drift changes (heating).
