16384

Internal

Internal error

Internal system error in the NC on ring 0, no further details.

4001

16385

Memory

Memory error

The ring-0 memory management is not providing the required memory. This is usually a result of another error, as a result of which the controller will halt normal operation (now if not before).

4002

16386

Internal

NC Retain data error (persistent data)

An error occurred when loading the NC Retain data, so that the affected axes are no longer referenced (status bit "Homed" is FALSE).
This error can have the following reasons:
- no NC Retain data were found
- only old NC Retain data were found (old backup data set)
- the NC Retain data are corrupt or inconsistent.

4003

16387

Parameter

Parameter for monitoring the NC setpoint output is invalid

The parameter for activating or deactivating the "cyclic monitoring of NC setpoint output for steadiness and consistency" function is invalid. (Special function)

4004

16388

Internal

External error

This error code can be set by an external module (e.g. third-party module) or can be set if an external module has an error.

16400

Parameter

Channel identifier not allowed

Either an unacceptable value (not 1...255) has been used, or a channel that does not exist in the system has been named.

4011

16401

Parameter

Group identifier not allowed

Either an unacceptable value (not 1...255) has been used, or a group that does not exist in the system has been named.

4012

16402

Parameter

Axis identifier not allowed

Either an unacceptable value (not 1...255) has been used, or an axis that does not exist in the system has been named.

4013

16403

Parameter

Encoder identifier not allowed

Either an unacceptable value (not 1...255) has been used, or a encoder that does not exist in the system has been named.

4014

16404

Parameter

Controller identifier not allowed

Either an unacceptable value (not 1...255) has been used, or a controller that does not exist in the system has been named.

4015

16405

Parameter

Drive identifier not allowed

Either an unacceptable value (not 1...255) has been used, or a drive that does not exist in the system has been named.

4016

16406

Parameter

Table identifier not allowed

Either an unacceptable value (not 1...255) has been used, or a table that does not exist in the system has been named.

4020

16416

Internal

Missing process image

There is no PLC-axis interface when creating an axis.

4021

16417

Internal

Missing process image

There is no axis-PLC interface when creating an axis.

4022

16418

Internal

Missing process image

There is no encoder-I/O interface when creating an axis.

4023

16419

Internal

Missing process image

There is no I/O-encoder interface when creating an axis.

4024

16420

Internal

Missing process image

There is no drive-I/O interface when creating an axis.

4025

16421

Internal

Missing process image

There is no I/O-drive interface when creating an axis.

4030

16432

Internal

Coupling type not allowed

The master/slave coupling type is not allowed.

4031

16433

Internal

Axis type not allowed

The type specification in the axis generation is inadmissible.

4032

16434

Parameter

Unknown channel type

The NC channel type is unknown. Known types are e.g. an NCI channel, a FIFO channel, etc.

4040

16448

Internal

Axis is incompatible

The axis is not suitable for the intended purpose. A high speed/low speed axis, for example, cannot function as a slave in an axis coupling.

4050

16464

Internal

Channel not ready to operate

The channel is not complete, and is therefore not ready for operation. This is usually a consequence of problems at system start-up.

4051

16465

Internal

Group not ready to operate

The group is not complete, and is therefore not ready for operation. This is usually a consequence of problems at system start-up.

4052

16466

Internal

Axis not ready to operate

The axis is not complete, and is therefore not ready for operation. This is usually a consequence of problems at system start-up.

4060

16480

Internal

Channel exists

The channel that is to be created already exists.

4061

16481

Internal

Group exists

The group that is to be created already exists.

4062

16482

Internal

Axis exists

The axis that is to be created already exists.

4063

16483

Internal

Table exists

The table that is to be created already exists, or attempts are made to use an already existing table id internally ( e.g. for the universal flying saw).

4070

16496

Internal

Axis index not allowed

The location within the channel specified for an axis is not allowed.

4071

16497

Internal

Axis index not allowed

The location within the group specified for an axis is not allowed.
