User-defined error output

The NC-command #ERROR allows output of user-defined error messages, which are further-processed by the higher-level operating system (GUI). Additional parameters offer the option of specifying the error more precisely.

#ERROR [ [ [ID<expr>] [RC<expr>] [MID<expr>] {PV<i><expr>} {PM<i><expr>} {PIV<i><expr>} ] ] (non-modal)

ID<expr> Error number:

Valid values

Significance

1...1000

The numerical value determines the customer-specific error number to be output.

RC<expr> Error (response) class:

Valid values

Significance

0

Warning:

No transition to error state. Program execution is continued. Corresponds to error class ERR_KLASSE_1 of the NC-kernel.

2

Serious error:

Transition to error state. Can be cleared only with NC–RESET. Corresponds to error class ERR_KLASSE_3 of the NC-kernel.

7

Fatal user error:

Transition to error state. Can be cleared with NC–RESET. Corresponds to error class ERR_KLASSE_8 of the NC-kernel.

MID<expr> Multiple ID. Counter serves as a distinguishing feature if the #ERROR command with the same error number (ID) is used several times in an NC-program. Positive integer.

PV<i><expr> Max. 5 (1 <= i <= 5) customer-specific numerical values (PV1...PV5) in real format can also be output in the error message.

PM<i><expr> The maximum 5 (1 <= i <= 5) PM parameters (PM1...PM5) serve to specifie the significance of the PV parameters more precisely.

PIV<i><expr> The maximum 4 (1 <= i <= 4) PIV parameters (PIV1...PIV4) serve to transfer additional information in real format.
