NC alarms
Explanation:
Data management has detected an error during ramp-up. The specified data block may not have been created. The error
number specifies the type of error. An error number >100000 indicates a fatal system error. Other error numbers indicate
that the user memory area provided is too small. In this case the (user) error numbers have the following meaning:
- Error number 1: No memory space available
- Error number 2: Maximum possible number of symbols exceeded
- Error number 3: Index 1 lies outside the valid value range
- Error number 4: Name already exists in channel
- Error number 5: Name already exists in NCK
If the alarm occurs after cycle programs, macro definitions or definitions for global user data (GUD) have been introduced,
the machine data for the user memory configuration has been configured incorrectly. In all other cases, changes to machine
data that is already correct lead to errors in the user memory configuration.
The following block names (2nd parameter) are known in the NCK (all system and user data blocks; in general, only
problems in the user data blocks can be remedied by user intervention):

(If these MDs are modified, the memory backup is retained)
The following applies to macro definitions:
MD18160 $MN_MM_NUM_USER_MACROS = max. number of all macro definitions, error number = 2 shows that this value
is too small.
(If these MDs are modified, the memory backup is retained)
The following applies to GUD variables:
- MD18118 $MN_MM_NUM_GUD_MODULES = max. number of GUD data blocks per area (NCK/channel) (if GD1, GD2, GD3,
GD9 are to be defined, then the value must be = 9 and not e.g. = 4).
- MD18120 $MN_MM_NUM_GUD_NAMES_NCK = max. number of all NCK global GUD variables, error number = 2 shows
that this value is too small.
- MD18130 $MN_MM_NUM_GUD_NAMES_CHAN = max. number of all channel-specific GUD variables in the channel, error
number = 2 shows that this value is too small.
- MD18150 $MN_MM_GUD_VALUES_MEM = total value memory of all GUD variables together, error number = 1 shows that

Machine data have been changed - now memory %1 is reorganized
Parameters:
%1 = Detailed information
Explanation:
Machine data have been changed that define the NC user memory allocation. Data management has restructured the
memory in accordance with the altered machine data.
Meaning of the parameter value:
- AFS = The active file system was reconfigured. The files of the passive file system were retained.
- PFS/AFS = The passive and active file systems were reconfigured.
Via the machine data $MN_IS_AUTOMATIC_MEM_RECONFIG it is configured whether NCK configures the AFS automatically
(value=TRUE) or not (value=FALSE).

Instead of %1 KB the system has only %2 KB of free user memory of type '%3'
Parameters:
%1 = Free memory capacity in KB defined for the control model
%2 = Actual maximum capacity of free memory in KB
%3 = Type of memory, "D" =non-battery-backed, "S" =battery-backed
Explanation:
The alarm can only occur after a 'cold start' (=NCK start-up with standard machine data). The alarm is only a notice. There
is no interference with any NCK functions. It shows that the NCK has less free user memory available than specified by
Siemens for this control variant. The value of the actually available free user memory can also be taken from the MD18050
$MN_INFO_FREE_MEM_DYNAMIC, MD18060 $MN_INFO_FREE_MEMS_STATIC.
Siemens supplies NCK with default settings that, depending on the model, have certain (free) memory space available for
the specific settings of the actual applications. The original factory setting of NCK systems is thus that the alarm does not
occur with a cold start.
Reaction:
Alarm display.
Remedy:
Reasons for the message:
- The NCK contains compile cycle software, that uses so much memory space that the hardware cannot provide the required
memory.
- The NCK runs on hardware that is not intended for this NCK release (i.e. that has not enough memory capacity).
- If the application runs properly with the remaining free user memory (i.e. can be setup without any errors), the message
can simply be ignored.
- If the actual application cannot be configured because there is not enough memory capacity available, either the existing
compile cycle must be reduced or, if possible, the system must be upgraded with additional memory space.

Remedy:
- Error number 1: The memory reserved by MD18238 $MN_MM_CC_MD_MEM_SIZE has to be increased. If the error occurs
while loading an archive, then the machine data must be increased "manually". To do this, either Edit the archive with
'arcedit' or Overwrite the MD in the MD picture and prevent the deletion of the machine data when writing the archive (HMI:
Set Ask_for_CFG_RESET.INI = 1 in 'slsp.ini'). Also refer to: Upgrade instructions P6.x.
- Error number 2: Error in the combination or while reloading compile cycles: Do not activate compile cycle.
- Error number 3: Error in the combination or while reloading compile cycles: Do not activate compile cycle.

[Channel %1: ] Tool change not possible: Empty location for tool %2 on magazine %4 not
available.
Parameters:
%1 = Channel ID
%2 = String (identifier)
%3 = -Not used-
%4 = Magazine number
Explanation:
The tool cannot be moved into the selected tool magazine. There is no appropriate location for this tool. A suitable location
is mainly determined by the status. The status must indicate that this location is free, not disabled, not reserved and not co-
occupied by a tool that is too large. Furthermore, it is important that the type of tool matches the type of any magazine
location that may be free. (If, for example, all magazine locations are of the 'B' type and these are all free and the tool is of
type 'A', then this tool cannot be put into this magazine).
Reaction:
NC Start disable in this channel.
Interface signals are set.
Alarm display.
NC Stop on alarm.
Remedy:
- Check whether the magazine data have been defined correctly.
- Check whether there is still room in the magazine to add another tool; there may not be due to operating procedures.
- Check whether a location type hierarchy is defined and whether it, for example, does not allow insertion of a type 'A' tool
in a free location with type 'B'.

Diagnostics Manual, 10/2020, 6FC5398-6BP40-6BA4
NC alarms
Explanation:
The specified command has been answered by the PLC with an invalid acknowledgment in the current context. The
following assignments are defined for "command no.":
1 Move tool, load or unload magazine
2 Prepare tool change
3 Execute tool change
4 Prepare tool change and execute with T command
5 Prepare tool change and execute with M command
7 Terminate canceled tool command
8 Check tool movement with reservation
9 Check tool movement
0 Transport acknowledgment
Parameters 2 and 3 designate the PLC command and the status number of the acknowledgment.
Example: Parameter 4 of the alarm message is 10. It is not defined that a buffer location has to be reserved for asynchronous
tool motion. In the example, the parameter is ignored by the NCK. Further possible causes for the alarm: The tool change
defined by the command is not possible. The magazine location specified in the invalid parameter does not exist in the
magazine.
The 3rd parameter - error identification - gives a more detailed description of the alarm. Meanings:
- 0 = not defined
- 1 = status not allowed or undefined status received by PLC
- 2 = source and/or target magazine no./location no. unknown
- 3 = not defined
- 4 = target magazine no. and/or location no. are not the end target in the tool motion command
- 5 = not defined
- 6 = source and/or target magazine no./location no. unknown during tool change
- 7 = PLC comm. with inconsistent data: either inconsistent magazine addresses in VDI or NCK command unequal to PLC
acknowledgment or both
- 8 = PLC comm. with inconsistent data: while rejecting a tool, the tool to be rejected was unloaded asynchronously. NCK
cannot perform a new selection.
- 9 = PLC comm. with inconsistent data: the command acknowledgment data wants to move a tool to a location that is
occupied by another tool.
- 10 = Asynchronous tool motion with reservation is only defined for the motion from a magazine to a buffer location.
- 11 = The replaced tool is within a multi-tool. PLC must not acknowledge the multi-tool position defined by the NCK with
another value.
Reaction:

The desired tool motion command - triggered from the HMI or PLC - is not possible. A movement request was issued to put
the tool in a location which does not satisfy the prerequisites for filling.
The following causes for the error are possible:
- Location is blocked or not free!
- Tool type does not match the location type!
- Tool possibly too large, adjacent locations are not free!
- If a tool is to be loaded or unloaded, the load/unload position must be of 'load location' type.
- If a tool is to be loaded or unloaded, is the magazine in question linked to the load/unload location?

Remedy:
- Check whether the magazine data have been defined correctly.
- Check whether there is still room in the magazine to add another tool; there may not be due to operating procedures.
- Check whether a location type hierarchy is defined and whether it, for example, does not allow insertion of a type 'A' tool
in a free location with type 'B'.
- Check whether the magazine in question is linked to the load/unload location or whether a distance has been defined.
- Check whether the load/unload position is of 'load location' type.

Workpiece counter: overflow in table of monitored cutting edges.
Explanation:
No more cutting edges can be entered in the piece counter table.
As many cutting edges can be noted for the workpiece counter as are possible in total in the NCK.
This means that if for each tool each cutting edge in each TO unit is used precisely once for a workpiece then the limit is
reached.
If several workpieces are made on several toolholders/spindles simultaneously, it is possible to note
MD18100 $MN_MM_NUM_CUTTING_EDGES_IN_TOA cutting edges for the workpiece counter for all of the workpieces.
If this alarm occurs, it means that cutting edges used subsequently are no longer quantity monitored until the table has been
emptied again, e.g. by means of the NC language command SETPIECE or by the relevant job from HMI, PLC (PI service).
Reaction:
NC Start disable in this channel.
Interface signals are set.
Alarm display.
Remedy:
- Was decrementing of the piece counter forgotten? Then program SETPIECE in the part program, or add the correct
command in the PLC program.
- If the part program/PLC program is correct, then more memory should be set for tool cutting edges via the MD18100
$MN_MM_NUM_CUTTING_EDGES_IN_TOA (can only be performed with the necessary access rights!).

[Channel %1: ] Function not executable. No tool assigned to desired magazine/magazine
location %2.
Parameters:
%1 = Channel ID
%2 = Magazine/magazine location no.
Explanation:
PLC logic is presumably incorrect. Tool change with reject tool is configured. Preparatory command is pending. Selected tool
is (e.g. from PLC) unloaded from its location. PLC acknowledges preparatory command with 'Repeat tool selection' (e.g.
status =7). NCK cannot find the tool at the magazine location specified in the PLC command.
Or: Illegal operator intervention in an active tool selection (unloading of the tool to be selected) has occurred. Therefore the
PLC acknowledgment fails.
Reaction:
Interface signals are set.
Alarm display.
Remedy:
PLC programmer must note the following:
- Ensure that the tool is not removed from the specified magazine location (e.g. incorrect PLC program).
- Do not remove the tool from the programmed tool change before the final acknowledgment of the command (= unload).
!! It is however permissible to change the location of the tool to be loaded. The NCK can deal with this situation.
This alarm supplements Alarm 6405, if it contains the identifier 8. Therefore, the diagnostics should be easier.

Remedy:
Please inform the authorized personnel/service department. Via the channel-specific MD20700:
$MC_REFP_NC_START_LOCK (NC Start without reference point) you can decide whether or not the axis has to be referenced
before NC Start. The start of referencing can be enabled channel-specific or axis-specific.
Channel-specific reference point approach: The rising edge of the NC/PLC interface signal DB21-30 DBX1.0 (Activate
referencing) starts an automatic sequence which starts the axes of the channel in the same sequence as specified in the axis-
specific MD34110 $MA_REFP_CYCLE_NR (axis sequence channel-specific referencing). 0: The axis does not participate in
channel-specific referencing, but it must be referenced for NC Start, -1: The axis does not participate in channel-specific
referencing, but it need not be referenced for NC Start, 1- 8: Starting sequence for the channel-specific referencing

If the user action as an internal action leads to an NC start, whether or not the axis has to be referenced before NC start can

action as internal actions leads to a user ASUB start, whether or not the axis has to be referenced before ASUB start can be
decided via the channel-specific MD20115 $MC_IGNORE_REFP_LOCK_ASUP (ASUB start without reference point). If the
user action as internal actions leads to a Prog Event start, whether or not the axis has to be referenced before Prog Event start
can be decided via the channel-specific MD20105 $MC_PROG_EVENT_IGN_REFP_LOCK (Prog Event start without reference
point).
Channel or axis-specific referencing can be triggered.
Please inform the authorized personnel/service department. Whether or not the axis has to be referenced before NC start
can be determined via the channel-specific MD20700: $MC_REFP_NC_START_LOCK (NC start without reference point).

critical because the equidistants are lengthened or intermediate blocks are inserted, so that there is always a point of
intersection).
Increase the number of reviewed traversing blocks via machine data MD20240 $MC_CUTCOM_MAXNUM_CHECK_BLOCKS

[Channel %1: ] Block %2 overflow of local block buffer with tool radius compensation (%3, %4)
Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label
%3 = Error code
%4 = Number of missing blocks
Explanation:
The tool radius compensation must buffer a variable number of intermediate blocks in order to enable calculation of the
equidistant tool path for each NC block. The size of the buffer cannot be determined by simple means. It depends on the
number of blocks without traversing information in the compensation plane, the number of contour elements to be inserted
and the shape of the curvature in spline and polynomial interpolation.
The size of the buffer must not exceed the size of the system memory.
Additional information about the error state
Error code (3rd parameter).
0 = Overrun of the local block buffer for tool radius compensation.
1 = Local block buffer is presumably parameterized too large by the number of missing blocks (4th parameter).
Reaction:

Remedy:

Simplify NC program:
- By avoiding:
Blocks without traversing information in the compensation plane
Blocks with contour elements having a variable curvature (e.g. ellipses) and with curvature radii that are smaller than the
compensation radius. (Such blocks are divided up into several subblocks).
- Increase the number of reviewed blocks for collision monitoring (MD20240 $MC_CUTCOM_MAXNUM_CHECK_BLOCKS).
- If (MD20240 $MC_CUTCOM_MAXNUM_CHECK_BLOCKS) is increased, it must be ensured that the system memory is
adequate. That means, if necessary, increasing the number of blocks in MD28070 $MC_MM_NUM_BLOCKS_IN_PREP.
Parameter 4 serves as an orientation value for the number of missing block locations. This value depends on the situation
and has to be determined individually.

[Channel %1: ] Block %2 selection of the tool radius compensation via KONT not possible at
the current starting point
Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label
Explanation:
When activating the cutter radius compensation with KONT the starting point of the approach block is within the
compensation circle and therefore already violates the contour.
If the cutter radius compensation is selected with G41/G42, the approach behavior (NORM or KONT) determines the
compensation movement if the present actual position is behind the contour. With KONT, a circle is drawn with the cutter
radius around the programmed initial point (= end point of the approach block). The tangent that passes through the
present actual position and does not violate the contour is the approach movement.
If the start point is within the compensation circle around the target point, no tangent passes through this point.

Explanation:
On deselection of the cutter radius compensation, the programmed end point is within the compensation circle. If this point
were in fact to be approached without compensation, there would be a contour violation.
If the cutter radius compensation is deselected via G40, the approach behavior (NORM or KONT) determines the
compensation movement if the programmed end point is behind the contour. With KONT, a circle is drawn with the cutter
radius about the last point at which the compensation is still active. The tangent passing through the programmed end
position and not violating the contour is the retraction movement.
If the start point is within the compensation circle around the target point, no tangent passes through this point.

Parameters:

Explanation:
The current cutter radius compensation (the cutter used) is too large for the programmed path radius.
In a block with variable tool radius compensation, a compensation must be possible either anywhere or nowhere on the
contour with the smallest and the largest compensation value from the programmed range. There must be no point on the
contour in which the curvature radius is within the variable compensation range.

[Channel %1: ] Block %2 path is parallel to tool orientation
Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label
Explanation:
In a block with spline or polynomial interpolation, the corrected path runs parallel to the tool orientation in at least one
point, i.e. the path has a tangent perpendicular to the compensation plane.
The tangent at a point on a path is regarded as parallel to the tool orientation if the angle between the two directions is less
than the limit value defined by MD21080 $MC_CUTCOM_PARALLEL_ORI_LIMIT.
However, in circumferential milling, single straight lines running parallel to the tool orientation are permissible, as well as
circles with a circle plane perpendicular to the compensation plane (application with smooth retraction from the groove).
Also only individually, if the circle contains a point with a tangent parallel to the tool orientation.
If a compressor (COMPCAD, COMPSURF) is active, the programmed straight lines (and possibly circles) are shown as non-
linear polynomials, and that means a block with polynomial interpolation (see above).
Straight lines in the direction of the tool orientation are not permissible in face milling (CUT3DF, CUT3DFS, CUT3DFF,

Parameters:
%1 = Channel number

Explanation:
When machining the inside of an ellipse, in parts of the ellipse the curvature radii are greater than or smaller than the cutter
radius compensation.
In ellipses, in this case the block would be split up into 4 subblocks with curvature radii that are greater than and less than
the compensation radius. Over several revolutions, there would be a tremendous increase in the amount of calculation
required by the unlimited number of resulting subblocks, and therefore this situation is rejected by the error message.
If compensation is possible everywhere or nowhere on the ellipse, then ellipses are also permissible that cover more than
one full revolution.

[Channel %1: ] Block %2 illegal tool orientation with 3D tool radius compensation
Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label
Explanation:
This alarm may occur during 3D face milling: the angle between the surface normal vector of the surface to be machined
and the largest surface normal vector of the tool surface is smaller than the limit value given by MD21080
$MC_CUTCOM_PARALLEL_ORI_LIMIT, or the tool is oriented such that machining would have to be performed from the rear
side of the surface. In this case, the largest surface normal vector is the vector the direction of which deviates most from the
direction in the tool point (i.e. parallel to the tool longitudinal axis).
With cylindrical tools or tools which end in a cylindrical part (e.g. the standard torus milling cutter), this vector is positioned
perpendicular to the tool vector. For this type of tool, the alarm indicates that the angle between the tool longitudinal axis
of, for example an envelope line of the cylinder, and the surface to be machined is smaller than the minimum permissible
value. With tools the (valid) surface of which ends in a tapered part instead of a cylindrical part (e.g. a beveled cutter or a
torus milling cutter where the torus is defined to be smaller than 90 degrees), this alarm indicates that the angle between
an envelope line of the taper and the surface to be machined is smaller than the minimum permissible value.

[Channel %1: ] Block %2 Illegal surface normal vector with 3D tool radius compensation
Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label
Explanation:
In 3D face milling, surface normal vector and path tangent vector must theoretically be perpendicular to one another, i.e.
they must be at 90° to one another. Since both vectors can be programmed independently of each other, deviations from
this angle are possible and allowed. This alarm is generated when the angle between surface normal vector and path
tangent vector becomes less than the limit angle given by the MD21084 $MC_CUTCOM_PLANE_PATH_LIMIT.

[Channel %1: ] Block %2 change of corner type due to change of orientation with active tool
radius compensation
Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label
Explanation:
The type of a corner (inside or outside corner) depends not only on the programmed path but also on the tool orientation.
For this purpose, the programmed path is projected in the plane perpendicularly to the actual tool orientation and the corner
type is determined there. If a change in orientation is programmed (in one or several blocks) between two traversing blocks,
resulting in the type of corner at the end of the first traversing block being different from that at the start point of the second
block, the above error message is issued.

[Channel %1: ] Illegal tool orientation in block %2 at inside corner with block %3
Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label
%3 = Block number, label
Explanation:
On inside corners, the path of the traversing blocks concerned is reduced but the orientation change originally programmed
in the block is retained and is now carried out in synchronism with the shortened path. Because of the ensuing changed
relationship between path tangent, surface normal and tool orientation, singular points or points with impermissible side
angle can occur in 3D face milling. This is not allowed.
