Description

4000

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)" Error while loading the Nc retain data. The axes concerned are no longer referenced (status flag "Homed" is set to FALSE).
Possible reasons are:
- Nc retain data not found
- Nc retain data expired (old backup data)
- Nc retain data corrupt or inconsistent

4003

16387

Parameter

Parameter for Monitoring the NC Setpoint Issuing is Invalid

The parameter for activating or deactivating the function “cyclic monitoring of NC setpoint issuing on continuity and consistency” is invalid. (Special function.)

16388

Internal

External Error

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

4010

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

"No process image" No PLC-axis interface during creation of an axis.

4021

16417

Internal

"No process image" No axis-PLC interface during creation of an axis.

4022

16418

Internal

"No process image" No encoder-I/O interface during creation of an axis.

4023

16419

Internal

"No process image" No I/O-encoder interface during creation of an axis.

4024

16420

Internal

"No process image" No drive-I/O interface during creation of an axis.

4025

16421

Internal

"No process image" No I/O-drive interface during creation of an axis.

4030

16432

Internal

"Coupling type not allowed" Unacceptable master/slave coupling type.

4031

16433

Internal

"Axis type not allowed" Unacceptable type specification during creation of an axis.

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" 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 for operation" 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 for operation" 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 for operation" 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, resp. it is tried internally to use an already existing table id ( 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.
