Parameters:

Explanation:
The angle is missing from the second block when programming two straight lines with angle specification. This error can
only occur if an angle was programmed in the preceding block, but no axis of the active plane was programmed in that block.
The cause of the error may therefore also have been the intention to program a single straight line with an angle in the
previous block. However, in this block, exactly one axis of the active plane must be programmed.

[Channel %1: ] Block %2 end point specification during angle programming contradictory
Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label
Explanation:
The programming of a straight line specified both positions of the active plane and an angle. The position of the end point
is thus over-specified.
The alarm may also be output if the position of the programmed coordinate cannot be reached with the specified angle. If
a contour consisting of two straight lines is to be programmed with angles, it is possible to specify the two axis positions of
the plane and an angle in the second block. The error can also occur if, due to a programming error, the preceding block
cannot be interpreted as the first subblock of such a contour. A block is interpreted as the first block of a two-block contour
if an angle, but not an axis of the active plane, was programmed, and if the block itself is not already the second block of
a contour.

Explanation:
The function "Revolutional feedrate" (with G95 or G96), or "Rigid tapping" (with G331/G332) has been programmed,
although no master spindle is defined from which the speed could be derived.
For the definition the MD 20090 $MC_SPIND_DEF_MASTER_SPIND is available for the default or the keyword SETMS in the

The machine axis that is to be operated as a spindle must be equipped in MD35000
$MA_SPIND_ASSIGN_TO_MACHAX[n]=m (n ... machine axis index, m ... spindle no.) with a spindle number. Additionally,
the MD20070 $MC_AXCONF_MACHAX_USED[n]=m (n ... channel axis index, m ... machine axis index) must be used to

[Channel %1: ] Block %2 feedrate not programmed
Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label
Explanation:
Cause:
A traversing velocity has not been programmed for the displayed traversing block.
Feed F or FZ:
With the traversing velocity defined by feed F or FZ, F or FZ was not reprogrammed after the feed type changed, for example
linear feed G94 after revolutional feedrate G95 F or G95 FZ.
Modal feed FRCM:
With modal traversing velocity FRCM defined for rounding RND or chamfering CHF, feed FRCM was not reprogrammed after
the feed type changed, for example linear feed G94 after revolutional feedrate G95, or revolutional feedrate G95 F after
tooth feedrate G95 FZ.
Note:
Feed FRCM also has to be reprogrammed when the feed type changes if the current traversing block does not contain
chamfering CHF or rounding RND, but the feed FRCM was programmed active, that is unequal to 0, before the feed type
changed.

[Channel %1: ] Block %2 irregular velocity waveform of one path axis
Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label
Explanation:
When the path axis waveforms were analyzed during block preparation, a large local deviation relative to the path velocity
was detected in the velocity waveform of one or more path axes.
Such a situation can have the following causes:
- The path runs close to singular positions of the machine kinematics.
- The programmed contour characteristic is very uneven.
- The FGROUP definition is unfavorable relative to the contour.
- The setting MD28530 $MC_MM_PATH_VELO_SEGMENTS=0 is inadequate for curvature changes occurring within one
block. This problem occurs more frequently with G643, G644 and COMPCAD.
- A kinematic transformation has been implemented with insufficient numerical accuracy.
The path velocity is generally reduced substantially in order to avoid axis overloads safely. An apparent machine standstill
may occur. Severe axis movements occur suddenly as soon as the singular position is reached.
Reaction:
Alarm display.
Warning display.
Remedy:
Dividing a block into several smaller ones often provides an improvement.
If MD28530 $MC_MM_PATH_VELO_SEGMENTS=0 is set, then the alarm may be avoidable by a value MD28530
$MC_MM_PATH_VELO_SEGMENTS=3 or 5, as the blocks are then analyzed considerably more accurately.

Parameters:
%1 = Channel number

Explanation:
The machine kinematics do not allow the specified motion.
The following transformation-dependent error causes can be present in TRANSMIT:
There is a circular area around the pole where positioning is not possible. This area exists because the tool reference point
cannot be traversed into the pole.
The area is defined by the following factors:
- The machine data (MD24920 $MC_TRANSMIT_BASE_TOOL..)
- The active tool length compensation (see $TC_DP..). Whether the tool length compensation is included in the calculation
depends on the selected working plane (see G17,..).
The following transformation-dependent error causes can be present in TRAINT:
A block with Y<>0 (WCS) was programmed during active TRAINT transformation. (Y axis must always be set to WCS=0 for
active TRAINT)

[Channel %1: ] Block %2 syntax error in text %3
Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label
%3 = Source text area
Explanation:
The grammar in this block is incorrect at the text position indicated. The precise reason for this error cannot be specified in
more detail because there are too many possibilities for error.
Example 1:
N10 IF GOTOF ... ; the condition for the jump is missing!
Example 2:
N10 DEF INT VARI=5
N11 X VARI ; the operation is missing for the X and VARI variables
Example 3:
N13 R1=5
N15 R1=10 M=R1 ; value assignments must stand alone in the block, there must not be any other commands, such as
auxiliary function outputs or traversing.
The cause may also be the use of Unicode characters. This is indicated by the representation of characters not included in
the ASCII character set in the alarm text.
Whether a character not included in the ASCII character set is transformed into a space or alarm 12080 is output can be set
using bit 3 of MD 10280 $MN_PROG_FUNCTION_MASK.

[Channel %1: ] Block %2 access protection programmed more than once %3
Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label
%3 = Duplicate protection level programming
Explanation:
The language commands APW and APR are used to program access protection for access to both the part program and the
OPI. APWP and APRP define access protection from the part program; APWB and APRB define access protection via the OPI.
Programming APW in the same block together with APWP or APWB or programming APR in the same block together with
APRP or APRB will lead to a conflict, as the protection level assignment is no longer unique.
Reaction:

[Channel %1: ] Block %2 call-by-reference parameter missing on subroutine call %3
Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label
%3 = Source string
Explanation:
In the subroutine definition, a formal REF parameter (call-by-reference parameter) has been specified with no actual
parameter assigned to it.
The assignment takes place in the subroutine call on the basis of the position of the variable name and not on the basis of
the name!
Example:
Subroutine:
(2 call-by-value parameters X and Y,
1 call-by-reference parameter Z)
PROC XYZ (INT X, INT Y, VAR INT Z)
:
M17
ENDPROC
Main program:
N10 DEF INT X
N11 DEF INT Y
N11 DEF INT Z

NC alarms
Explanation:
When calling the subroutine, an AXIS parameter is missing which, according to the EXTERN declaration, should be present.
With the EXTERN instruction, user-defined subroutines (procedures) are made "known" that have a parameter transfer.
Procedures without parameter transfer require no EXTERN declaration.
Example:
Subroutine XYZ (with the formal parameters):
PROC XYZ (INT X, VAR INT Y, AXIS A, AXIS B)
EXTERN instruction (with variable types):
EXTERN XYZ (INT, VAR INT, AXIS, AXIS) Subroutine call (with actual parameters):
N10 XYZ (, Y1, R_TISCH)
Variable X is defaulted with value 0
Variable Y is supplied with the value of the variable Y1 and returns the results to the calling program after the subroutine
run

NC alarms
Explanation:
When calling a procedure (a subroutine) it is found that the type of the actual parameter cannot be converted into the type
of the formal parameter. There are two possible cases:
- Call-by-reference parameter: Actual parameter and formal parameter must be of precisely the same type, e.g. STRING,
STRING.
- Call-by-value parameter: Actual parameter and formal parameter can in principle be different providing conversion is
basically possible. In the present case, however, the types are generally not compatible, e.g. STRING -> REAL.
Overview of type conversions:
- from REAL to: REAL: yes, INT: yes*, BOOL: yes1), CHAR: yes*, STRING: -, AXIS: -, FRAME: -
- from INT to: REAL: yes, INT: yes, BOOL: yes1), CHAR: if value 0 ...255, STRING: -, AXIS: -, FRAME: -
- from BOOL to: REAL: yes, INT: yes, BOOL: yes, CHAR: yes, STRING: -, AXIS: -, FRAME: -
- from CHAR to: REAL: yes, INT: yes, BOOL: yes1), CHAR: yes, STRING: yes, AXIS: -, FRAME: -
- from STRING to: REAL: -, INT: -, BOOL: yes2), CHAR: only if 1 character, STRING: yes, AXIS: -, FRAME: -
- from AXIS to: REAL: -, INT: -, BOOL: -, CHAR: -, STRING: -, AXIS: yes, FRAME: -
- from FRAME to: REAL: -, INT: -, BOOL: -, CHAR: -, STRING: -, AXIS: -, FRAME: yes
1) Value <> 0 corresponds to TRUE, value ==0 corresponds to FALSE.
2) String length 0 => FALSE, otherwise TRUE.
*) At type conversion from REAL to INT fractional values that are >=0.5 are rounded up, others are rounded down.

Explanation:
An attempt has been made to transfer actual parameters although axis parameters located before them have not been
assigned. For procedure or function calls, the assignment of parameters that are no longer required can be omitted if no
more parameters are to be transferred subsequently. Example: N10 FGROUP(X, Y, Z, A, B); a max. of 8 axes possible The
following call-by-value parameters would then be initialized with zero because the space-dependent assignment has been
lost on account of the missing axis parameters. Axes that can be omitted and following parameters do not occur in the
predefined procedures and functions.

axes are called X, Y, Z in all channels. They can then also be programmed directly in preprocessed cycles.
2. Do not program the axis directly in the cycle, but as a parameter of the axis type. Example: Cycle definition:

NC alarms
Explanation:
The selected program %2 in channel%1 cannot be executed because the channel-specific start disable is set for this channel.
Background: When ShopMill or ShopTurn programs are selected or changed, the HMI performs a consistency check of the
parameters that have been entered. During this time, the processing of the selected NC program is inhibited by the HMI
setting what is known as the "channel-specific start disable". If an NC start is now rejected because of a set channel-specific
start disable, then alarm 14004 is output as a function of MD 11411 $MN_ENABLE_ALARM_MASK bit 15. The alarm is also
output in the event of a block search, but in this case it is not dependent on MD 11411 $MN_ENABLE_ALARM_MASK bit 15.

[Channel %1: ] Block %2 program %3 program-specific start disable has been set
Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label
%3 = Program name
Explanation:
Program %3 cannot be executed, because the program-specific start disable has been set for this file.
Background: When an editing operation for a ShopMill or ShopTurn program has been completed, the HMI performs a
consistency check of the parameters that have been entered. During this time, CNC program processing is inhibited by
setting what is known as the "program-specific start disable" by the HMI. If NC start is pressed during the test, the start is not
executed, and alarm 14005 is output as a function of MD 11411 $MN_ENABLE_ALARM_MASK bit 6.
Alarm 14005 is also output if the part program processing encounters a subroutine for which the file attribute "start disable"
is set.

Diagnostics Manual, 10/2020, 6FC5398-6BP40-6BA4
NC alarms
Explanation:
A subroutine call was canceled because the called subroutine could not be opened.
The subroutine call can be executed via
- subroutine identifier
- CALL / PCALL / MCALL command
- SETINT command
- M/T function replacement
- event-driven program calls (PROG_EVENT)
- selection of a PLC ASUB via PI "_N_ASUP__" and/or FB-4
- calling a PLC ASUB via interrupt interface (FC-9)
There are various reasons for the alarm:
- the subroutine is not in the part program memory
- the subroutine is not in the search path (selected directory, _N_SPF_DIR or cycle directories _N_CUS_DIR, _N_CMA_DIR,
_N_CST_DIR)
- the subroutine has not been released or is being edited
- faulty absolute path name in subroutine call:
Examples of complete path names: /_N_directoryName_DIR/_N_programmName_SPF or /_N_WKS_DIR/
_N_wpdName_WPD/_N_programmName_SPF. directoryName: MPF, SPF, CUS, CMA, CST (predefined directories).
wpdName: application-specific designator for workpiece directory (max. of 24 characters). programmName: Name of
subroutine (max. of 24 characters)
- A reload buffer for executing from external was called as subroutine.
Note: Unknown identifiers (string) found in the part program line by themselves, are interpreted as subroutine calls.
Reaction:

Explanation:
The maximum nesting depth of 16 program levels has been exceeded.
Subroutines can be called from the main program, and these in turn may have a nesting depth of 15.
For interrupt routines, two additional program levels can be used. This means that the total number of program levels is

Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label
%3 = Variable to be reset
%4 = Index of the variable to be reset
Explanation:
When the function DELOBJ is called, an attempt is made to reset a variable to its default value. The access authorization is not
sufficient for this purpose.
When this alarm occurs, no data are changed, not even that for which the access authorization would be sufficient.
This alarm can only occur when the current value of the system variable, to which the attempt to write led to the alarm, is
not equal to its initial setting value.
Reaction:
Correction block is reorganized.
Interface signals are set.
Alarm display.
Remedy:
Increase access authorization.

[Channel %1: ] Block %2 involute: angle of rotation too large
Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label
Explanation:
With programming of the angle of rotation (with AR) for involute interpolation, the maximum programmable angle of
rotation is limited if the involute is moving towards the basic circle. The maximum value is reached if the involute touches
the basic circle. With MD21016 $MC_INVOLUTE_AUTO_ANGLE_LIMIT = TRUE, each angle is accepted without an alarm; if
necessary, the angle is automatically limited during interpolation.
Reaction:
Correction block is reorganized.
Interface signals are set.
Alarm display.
Remedy:
Modify part program.
