Other functions not described in this documentation might be
executable in the control. This does not, however, represent an
obligation to supply such functions with a new control or when
servicing.
We have checked that the contents of this document correspond to
the hardware and software described. Nonetheless, differences might
exist and therefore we cannot guarantee that they are completely
identical. The information contained in this document is, however,
reviewed regularly and any necessary changes will be included in the

The present description is intended to be used as a reference manual. It
allows the operator on the machine tool to:
- access special cases in the operation of the machine correctly;
- to learn the response of the system/installation to the particular special case;
- to use the possibilities of continuing work after the special case;
- to follow notes for further references.
Scope
Object of the present description are the alarms occurring in the areas
NC kernel (NCK), Profibus, cycles and PLC.
Further alarms may occur in the HMI area (Human Machine Interface).
They are announced to the user by self-explaining alarm lines displayed
on the operator panel. These alarms are not part of this Diagnostics
Guide.
For special cases in conjunction with the integrated PLC, please refer to
the relevant SIMATIC S7-200 system documentation.
Sorting
Safety
NC alarms
The alarms are sorted in the Diagnostics Guide by ascending alarm
numbers with gaps between them.
Danger
Please always check the situation of the particular system/installation
carefully on the basis of the alarms occurred. Eliminate the causes for
the occurrence of the alarms and acknowledge them as described.
Otherwise, danger will result for machine, workpiece, saved settings
and - under certain circumstances - even for your health.

When booting, a possible inconsistency has been detected in the batterybacked memory.
The battery-backed memory was initialized using the last backup copy. As a

The control system uses internal physical units (mm, degrees, s, for distances
to go, velocities, accelerations and the like). With programming or data backup, some of these values are input/output using other units (rpm, m/s2, etc.).
The conversion is carried out using scaling factors which can be entered (system-specific MD array 10230 SCALING_FACTORS USER_DEF[n] (n ... index
numbers 0 ... 10) if the relevant masking bit is set to "1".
If the masking bit is set to "0", the scaling is carried out using the internal default factors.
The following machine data influence the scaling of other MDs:

Machine data %1 (and possible further) not changed due to missing access rights %2
%1 = string: MD identifier

When executing a TOA file, it has been tried to program a data whose protection level is higher than the access authorization currently set at the control
system.
The relevant data has not been programmed.
This alarm is only generated with the first write access violation detected.

%1 Machine data could not be changed with access right %2
%1 = number of MD
%2 = set access right
When executing a TOA file, it has been tried to program a data whose protection level is higher than the access authorization currently set at the control
system.
The appropriate data have not been programmed.
This alarm is issued when acknowledging alarm 4075. It can only be canceled
with POWER ON.
Either set the required access level via the password or using the keyswitch or
delete the appropriate machine data from the MD file.

New value %1 of MD %2 not set; requests %3 bytes too much %4 memory.
%1 = new value of the machine data
%2 = machine data number
%3 = number of bytes requested in excess
%4 = type of memory
It was tried to assign the specified memory-configuring machine data a new
value.
The change will not be executed, since it would result in deleting the user
memory. The change requires more user memory than provided.
The third parameter specifies the number of bytes by which the maximum user
memory has been exceeded.
The fourth parameter specifies the type of the memory whose limit is exceeded:
"D" stands for the dynamic or non-backed user memory (there are, e.g. the
LUD variables, this also includes the IPO buffer size). The size of this memory
type is defined by the current memory configuration and by the value of
MD18210
"S" stands for the static or battery-backed user memory (typically, there are the
part programs, but also the compensation data, R parameters, tool data); this
memory type is also defined by the current memory configuration and by the
value of MD 18230 MM_USER_MEM_BUFFERED.
Alarm display.
If the change was not desired, then simply continue.
In this case, the alarm will not have any negative influence.
How this error is corrected depends on the access right and on the current NC
memory configuration:
The change as planned to be done is not possible in this way -> try once more
using a smaller value. When doing so, watch how the value of the byte number
changes.
Buying more memory? This possibility depends on the model you are using.
The NC user memory is possible set smaller than possible. Provided the appropriate access right, the MD (see above) can be changed.

MD change results in reorganization of the battery-backed memory (loss

An MD configuring the battery-backed memory was changed. Booting the NC

a loss of all battery-backed user data (part programs, tool data, GUD, LEC, ...).
Alarm display.
If the control system contains user data that have not been saved, a data
backup must be carried out before the NC is next booted. The reorganization of

Memory mapping was carried out using the default machine data
The memory management was not able to carry out the mapping of the NC
user memory using the values in the machine data. The reason is that the
entire memory is used by the NC user both as a dynamic memory and a static
memory (e.g., for: number of tool offsets, number of directories and files, etc.).
Alarm display.
Interface signals are set.
NC Start inhibited.
NC Stop at alarm.
Redefine the memory mapping.
It is not possible to specify a certain MD as an alarm cause for the NC user
memory mapping. Therefore, the MD that has caused the alarm must be determined on the base of the default values in the machine data and by modifying the user-specific memory mapping 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 correspondingly.
Use the RESET key to cancel the alarm. Restart the part program.
The data management has detected an error in the boot sequence. A possible
reason is that the specified data block was not created. The type of the error
can be derived from the error number. An error number >100000 indicates to a
persisting system error. Otherwise, the user memory area has been dimensioned too small. In this case, the (user) error numbers have the following
meaning:
10.02 1 Alarms
Error number Explanation
1 No more memory capacity
2 Number of maximum possible symbols exceeded
3 Index 1 outside the valid range of values
4 Name already exists in the channel
5 Name already exists in the NC
If the alarm occurs after loading cycle programs, macro definitions or definitions for global user data (GUD), the machine data for the user memory configuration have been dimensioned not correctly. In all the other cases, modifications to machine data that are already correct result in errors in the user
memory configuration.

When programming a straight line, both positions of the active plane

be reached with the specified angle.
To program a contour definition consisting of two straight lines using
angles, this specification of two axis positions in the plane and of an
angle in the second block is admissible. The error can therefore also
occur if the previous block could not be interpreted as the first partial

In this case, a block will be interpreted as a the first block of a contour

The specified motion is not possible due to the machine kinematics. Transformation-depending error causes may be:
TRANSMIT:
A (circular) area exists around the pole to which positioning is not possible.
This area is due to the fact that the tool reference point cannot be traversed
into the pole.
The area is defined by:
- the machine data ($MC_TRANSMIT_BASE_TOOL..)
