11 Alarms

The document discusses alarms that can occur on a machine control system. It describes: - The control system continuously monitors components to detect faults early before damage occurs. If a fault is detected, machining stops and the fault is displayed as an alarm. - Alarms are grouped into categories like power-on alarms, communication alarms, and axis or general reset alarms. - When multiple faults occur simultaneously, only the lowest alarm number is initially displayed. Pressing the DIAGNOSIS key provides an overview of all active alarms and messages.

11 Alarms

11.1 General

The control contains permanently active monitors which detect malfunctions in the NC,
interface controller and machine at such an early stage that damage to the workpiece, tool or
machine is largely ruled out.
In the event of malfunctions, machining is first interrupted and the drives shut down, the cause
of the fault being stored and displayed as an alarm. At the same time the PLC is informed that
an NC alarm is present.

Monitors exist for the following:

• Read-in
• Format
• Measuring-circuit cables
• Position encoder and drive
• Contour
• Spindle speed
• Enable signals
• Voltage
• Temperature
• Microprocessor
• Serial interfaces
• Data transfer between NC and PLC
• Condition of back-up battery
• System program memory
• User program memory

The alarms are brocken down into 7 alarm groups (5 NC alarm groups and 2 PLC alarm
groups).

NC alarms:

• POWER ON alarms
• RS232C (V.24) alarms
• RESET alarms /axis-specific
• RESET alarms /general
• ERASE alarms

PLC alarms:

• PLC error messages


• PLC operational messages

The texts for the PLC error messages and PLC operational messages are stored in RAM on
the CPU. They are input in the installation overall reset mode (see MD no. 5012).

23 Char. parity error RS232C (V.24)

Cause: Tape dirty or damaged


Effect: • RS232C (V.24) transmission interrupted
• Last block declared invalid
Explanation: Depending on the definition of program start ”%” or ”EOB”, the NC
automatically specifies ISO or EIA code and thus character parity after
this character has been received.
When the subsequent characters were checked, it was found that one
character did not have the specified parity.
Remedy: Check tape

24 Invalid EIA char. RS232C (V.24)


Effect: • Data transmission interrupted
• Last block declared invalid
Explanation: An EIA character with correct parity has been read in
but the character is not defined in EIA code.
Remedy: Check tape:
Setting data 5026 (EIA code for ”@”),
Setting data 5027 (EIA code for ”:”) and
Setting data 5029 (EIA code for ”=”) should be checked.

26 Block > 120 characters RS232C (V.24)


Cause: The entered part program block has more than 120
characters. Only characters actually stored are counted (no
blanks, no CR, . . ).
Effects: • Data transmission interrupted
• Last block not stored
Remedy: Split block into two or more blocks

11 Alarms 09.91
11.7 RS232C (V.24) Alarms

27 Data input disabled RS232C (V.24)


Cause: One of the following was read in in normal mode:
• NC/PLC-MD without active password
• PLC program (PCP), PLC alarm texts (only possible in overall reset
mode)
In overall reset mode PLC alarm texts were read in and
NC MD 5012.7=0.
Effect: No data stored.

Remedy: Correct the conditions.

28 Circ. buffer overflow RS232C (V.24)


Effect: • RS232C (V.24) transmission interrupted
• Last blocks declared invalid
Explanation: The signalling rate is so high that the number of characters read in
exceeds the number that can be processed by the NC.
When the program is re-transmitted, the defective program must first
be erased.
• RTS signal has no effect at input device (RTS initiates
input device STOP)
• Signalling rate (baud rate) too high

29 Block> 254 char. RS232C (V.24)


Cause: The block read in has more than 254 characters. All input characters
(e.g. blanks) are also included.
Effect: • RS232C (V.24) transmission interrupted
• Last block not stored
Remedy: Split block into two or more blocks.

30 PP memory overflow RS232C (V.24)


Cause: The maximum storage area for the part program
is occupied.
Effects: • Data transmission interrupted
• Last block not stored
Remedy: Erase old programs and reorganize memory.

31 No free PP number RS232C (V.24)


Cause: The maximum number of programs specified by means of
machine data has been reached.
Remedy: • Erase old programs and reorganize memory
• Modify MD 8 and reformat part program memory
Sequence:
a. ”SET UP OVERALL RESET” mode
b. ”FORMAT USER MEM.” softkey
c. ”CLEAR PARTPR.” softkey
Old programs are then deleted!!

32 Data format error RS232C (V.24)


Cause: • Permissible number of decades after an address is incorrect
• Decimal point in wrong position
• Part programs or subroutines are not correctly defined or
terminated (observe pre-header!)
• NC expects a ”=” character, but this character is not defined
in EIA code
Effect: Data transmission interrupted
Last block not stored
Remedy: Check data to be read in

33 Different programs same number RS232C (V.24)


Cause: Read-in and stored programs not identical for same
program number
Wrong program number in BTR mode.
Effect: No data stored
Remedy: Delete old program or
rename old program with ”RENAME”
Explanation: If an existing program with the same program number is
read in again, the two programs are compared.
If they differ,
Alarm 33 is activated.
If in BTR mode a program number 0 is preselected in the NC and a
program with another program number is offered from outside via the
serial interface, then Alarm 33 is given.

34 Operator error RS232C (V.24)


Cause: Data transmission initiated at the NC and the PLC issues a second
start signal
Effect: No data read in
Remedy: Stop data input and restart

35 Reader error RS232C (V.24)


Cause: Error message from Siemens tape reader
Scan: • Only if the setting data for the Siemens reader have been set
Data transmission interrupted
Effect: Last block not stored
• Restart data transmission
Remedy: • Replace Siemens reader if error recurs

36 BTR aborted by computer

Cause: Message frame with error detection received from BTR device
Remedy: Restart

40 Wrong data in MD 576*


Cause: Wrong data in MD 576* bit 7, 6, 5
Effect: NC START disabled
Remedy: Activate option or check MD 576*

41 Error absolute submodule

Cause: Error when using a SIPOS absolute submodule


Explanation: The type of error can be seen from the line ”Status absolute sub-
module” in the ”Service data axis” display.
The error number is displayed. The significance of the error number
can be seen from the documentation on the SIPOS absolute encoder
submodule.

48 PLC alarm texts from UMS not allowed


Scan: • With POWER ON
Effect: UMS declared invalid
Explanation: If the PLC alarm texts are not read in from tape (NC MD 5012 bit 7) but
instead are configured using the WS800 programming workstation, the
texts are transferred to the UMS together with cycles, displays and
menus. On checking the inventory of the UMS, the control has
established the presence of both PLC alarm texts
from tape and alarm texts in the UMS.
Remedy: • Reset NC MD 5012 bit 7
• Check UMS and re-configure if necessary using WS800

87 Illegal software limit switch


Cause: An illegal value has been entered in the machine data for software limit
switch MD 224*, 228*, 232*, 236*) or prelimit switch (MD 376*).
Effect: • Removal of NC-READY2
• Locking of NC START
Comment: The check is performed effectively after POWER ON, independently of
NC MD 560* bit 5 ”Working area limitation, Software limit switch”.

104* DAC limit reached


Scan: Cyclically
Effect: No direct effect. The error enters the following error Alarm 156*
Explanation: Setpoint at DAC is higher than input in MD 268* (max. DAC setpoint).
No further increase in setpoint possible!

Remedy: • Operate at lower speed


• Check actual values (pulse generator)
• Check MD 268*
• Check drive actuator (tachogenerator compensation at Vmax.)
• Check MD 364* and MD 368* (var. increment weighting)

108* Actual value difference overflow


Scan: With each axis movement (including in follow-up mode)
Effect: • NC START disabled
• Setpoint 0
• NC Ready 2 cancelled
• Servo enable cancelled after time in MD 156 has expired
• Follow-up mode
• Actual machine value is lost (wrong position)
Explanation: • With high-speed axis travel the register has overflown in the event
of an error. The reference point was lost in the process.
Remedy: • Reduce maximum speed. (Depending on MD 364* and 368*)
• Check MD for variable increment weighting (MD 364* and
MD 368*).

112* Clamping monitoring


Cause: • Incorrect position feedback polarity
• Mechanically clamped axis forced out of position
• Fault at control device (actuator), tacho-generator,
motor, mechanical components or NC measuring-circuit
hardware
Scan: • At rest
• During clamping
• During deceleration
Effect: • NC START disabled
• Setpoint 0
• Servo enable cancelled after time in MD 156 has expired
• Follow-up mode
Explanation: • During positioning the following error could not be reduced more
rapidly than the time input in MD 156
• During clamping the limit specified in MD 212* was
exceeded
Remedy: • MD212* (clamping tolerance) must be greater than MD 204*
(exact stop limit coarse).
• MD156 (servo enable cutoff delay) must be such that
the following error can be suppressed within this time

116* Contour monitoring


Scan: • During processing in automatic mode but not:
during acceleration
during deceleration
at speeds less than in MD 336*
(contour speed)
Effect: • NC START disabled
• Setpoint 0
• Servo enable cancelled after time in MD 156 has expired
• Follow-up mode
Explanation: • Tolerance band MD 332* exceeded at a speed greater than in
MD 336*
• During acceleration or braking the axis has not reached
the new speed within the time specified by the
servo gain factor
Remedy: • Increase tolerance band MD 332*
• Check servo gain factor
• Check optimization of speed controller
• Check drive actuator

(reduction speed)

2035 Feed limitation

Cause: An axis speed was specified which was larger than the maximum axis
speed (MD 280*)
Effect: Speed is reduced to maximum speed
Explanation: • The programmed speed is greater than the tool path feedrate
resulting from the maximum speeds of the axes.
• During thread cutting G33 a spindle speed and a thread pitch were
programmed which would lead to an axis speed greater than the
maximum axis speed (MD 280*).
• One of the following data is greater than the maximum speed
• conventional feed (JOG)
• conventional rapid traverse (JOG)
• incremental speed
• reference point approach speed

2036 G35 thread lead decr. error

2193 No additional axes possible


Cause: This occurs only at NC Start after block search in the target block
when the MD ”Add axis after block search” have been set:
• axes are to be added in G36 blocks
• axes are to be added in G98 blocks without axis traverse motion.
Abhilfe: Do not perform block search on this block.

2194 G36 position rotary axis missing


Cause: Occurs only if a G68 is to be generated for the rotary axis in a G36
block when MD 572* bit 2=1.
Remedy: • Program the rotary axis first of all with G0 or G01
(e.g. G0 91 C=0).
• Select target block in such a way that no G36 is active in the target
block and that the rotary axis is already programmed before the
G36 block.
