PrefaceThe SINUMERIK documentation is divided up into 3 levels:

• General documentation• User documentation• Manufacturer/Service documentation

This manual is intended as a work of reference. It allows the operator at themachine tool:

- To correctly assess special situations when operating the machine.

- To ascertain the reaction of the system to the special situation.

- To utilize the possibilities for continued operation following the specialsituation.

- To follow references to other documentation containing further details.

This manual describes the alarms from the NC kernel (NCK) area, the PLC andthe SIMODRIVE 611D drive.Other alarms can occur from the MMC (Man-Machine Communication) areas.They are displayed on the operator panel in the form of self-explanatory text.They are documented in the section on MMC messages.For special situations in conjunction with the integrated PLC, please refer tothe SIMATIC S7-300 documentation.

From 09.2001 the• SINUMERIK 840D powerline and• SINUMERIK 840DE powerline.are available with improved performance. For a list of available powerlinemodules please refer to the hardware description /PHD/, section 1.1.

From 12.2001 the• SINUMERIK 810D powerline and• SINUMERIK 810DE powerlineare available with improved performance. For a list of available powerlinemodules please refer to the hardware description /PHD/, section 1.1.

The software versions indicated in this documentation refer to the SINUMERIK840D control; the software version valid in parallel for the SINUMERIK 810D (ifthe function is released, see /BU/, Catalog NC 60) is not indicated explicitly.The following applies:

Sign of life monitoring: PLC not alive

The PLC must give a sign of life within a defined period of time (machine data10100 PLC_CYCLIC_TIMEOUT). If this does not occur, the alarm is triggered.

The sign of life is a counter reading on the internal NC/PLC interface which thePLC causes to count up with the 10 ms time alarm. The NCK also testscyclically whether the counter reading has changed.

For some applications, it is useful to operate an axis in several channels(C axis or spindle on single spindle or double carriage machines).

The machine axes which are defined in several channels by means ofthe MD 20070 AXCONF_MACHAX_USED, must be assigned to a masterchannel with the axis-specific machine data 30550AXCONF_ASSIGN_MASTER_CHAN.

The fourth parameter specifies the type of memory whose limit was exceeded:

• "D" stands for dynamic or non-buffered user memory (this is where the LUDvariables are stored and the interpolation buffer size is entered, forexample). The capacity of this memory type is defined by the currentmemory expansion and the value in MD MM_USER_MEM_DYNAMIC(18210).

Thesampling time to which the digital drive synchronizes (drive clock cycle time)must be a multiple of 31.25 µs by a factor of 4, 8, 16 or 32.

The changes are made in a way such that the programmable hardware divider1 is adjusted as a result of the choice of system clock cycle time in the MD10050 SYSCLOCK_CYCLE_TIME; the selected time and the drive clock cycletime are in the 31.25 ms grid. If this requirement cannot be satisfied with theentered values (e.g. because the system clock cycle time is not a multiple of31.25 ms), then the system clock cycle time is automatically expanded untilthe drive clock cycle time lies within the 31.25 ms grid.

The memory management was not able to allocate the NC user memory withthe values in the machine data.

The alarm can only occur after a 'cold start' (=NCK start-up with standardmachine data). The alarm is only a notice. There is no interference with anyNCK functions. It shows that the NCK has less free user memory availablethan specified by Siemens for this control variant. The value of the actuallyavailable free user memory can also be taken from the machine data$MN_INFO_FREE_MEM_DYNAMIC, $MN_INFO_FREE_MEMS_TATIC.

Siemens supplies NCK with default settings that, depending on the model,have certain (free) memory space available for the specific settings of theactual applications. The original factory setting of NCK systems is thus that thealarm does not occur with a cold start.

- 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 started up 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.

Clear the alarm with the RESET key.

Channel %1 tool not changed. No empty location for tool %2 Duplo no. %3on magazine %4

%1 = Channel ID%2 = String (identifier)%3 = Duplo number%4 = Magazine number

The tool cannot be moved into the selected tool magazine. There is noappropriate location for this tool. A suitable location is mainly determined bythe status. The status must indicate that this location is free, not disabled, notreserved and not co-occupied by a tool that is too large.Furthermore, it is important that the type of tool matches the type of anymagazine location that may be free. (If, for example, all magazine locations areof the 'B' type and these are all free and the tool is of type 'A', then this toolcannot be put into this magazine).

Alarm display.Interface signals are set.NC Start disable.NC Stop on alarm.

- Check whether the magazine data are correctly defined.- 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'.

Clear the alarm with the RESET key. Restart part program.

%1 = Channel number%2 = Block number, label

When activating the cutter radius compensation with KONT the starting pointof the approach block is within the compensation circle and therefore alreadyviolates the contour.

If the cutter radius compensation is selected with G41/G42, the approachbehavior (NORM or KONT) determines the compensation movement if thepresent actual position is behind the contour. With KONT, a circle is drawnwith the cutter radius around the programmed initial point (= end point of theapproach block).

Channel %1 block %3 axis %2 is not a geometry axis %1 = Channel number%2 = Axis name, spindle number%3 = Block number, label

With an active transformation or a frame with a rotation component thegeometry axes are needed for block preparation. If a geometry axis haspreviously been traversed as positioning axis, it retains its status of "positioningaxis" until it is again programmed as a geometry axis.

Because of the POSA motion beyond block boundaries, it is not possible toidentify in the preprocessing run whether the axis has already reached itstarget position when the block is executed. This is, however, an unconditionalrequirement for calculating the ROT component of the frame or of thetransformation.

If geometry axes are used as positioning axes, then:1. No rotation may be specified in the current overall frame.2. No transformation may be selected.

The given curve cannot be calculated reliably in advance.

It ismore conservative than with anticipated calculation. The Look Ahead functionis deactivated. If it is not possible to take over the velocity check into the mainrun, part program processing is aborted.

Alarm display.

No action is usually necessary. The velocity control operates more effectively,however, if the part program is modified.* If a transformation pole is circumnavigated several times by the curve, it helps to split up the block into smaller parts.* If a positioning axis is the cause, you should check whether the axis can be traversed as a path axis.The Look Ahead function remains deactivated until preprocessing can bebased on defined conditions again (e.g. as a result of change from JOG -->AUTO, tool or tool edge change).

In the subroutine definition, a formal REF parameter (call-by-referenceparameter) has been specified with no actual parameter assigned to it.

The assignment takes place in the subroutine call on the basis of the positionof 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) :M17ENDPROC

When calling the subroutine, an AXIS parameter is missing which, according tothe EXTERN declaration, should be present.

With the EXTERN instruction, user-defined subroutines (procedures) are made"known" that have a parameter transfer. Procedures without parameter transferrequire no EXTERN declaration.

Example:Subroutine XYZ (with the formal parameters):

PROC XYZ (INT X, VAR INT Y, AXISA, AXIS B)

EXTERN instruction (with variable types):EXTERN XYZ (INT, VAR INT, AXIS,AXIS)

Subroutine call (with actual parameters):N10 XYZ ( , Y1, R_TABLE)

If the interpolation traverses the pole point, only the 5th axis will move and the4th axis will retain its starting position. If a motion is programmed that does notpass precisely through the pole points but only close by, the route deviatesfrom the given interpolation if the path cuts a circle defined by the machinedata 24530 TRAFO5_NON_POLE_LIMIT_1 (switchover angle, referring to the5th axis). The interpolated contour is then placed through the pole (in theimmediate vicinity of the pole, the 4th axis would otherwise have to acceleratemost rapidly and then decelerate again).

For the 4th axis, the result is a position deviation as compared to theprogrammed value. The maximum permissible angle which the programmedand the interpolated path may include is stored in theMD 24540 TRAFO5_POLE_LIMIT.

Alarm display.Interface signals are set.Correction block is reorganized.

In the vicinity of the pole, always make use of axis programming. Programmingof tool orientations close to the pole should generally be avoided because thisalways leads to problems concerning dynamic response.

Channel %1 block %2 error in initialization sequence duringfunction %3

%1 = Channel number%2 = Block number, label%3 = Identifier of the function which caused the error

Initialization blocks are generated (or not) after control power-up, programreset and program start, depending on the settings in machine data$MC_RESET_MODE_MASK and $MC_START_MODE_MASK. Errors can occur because of incorrect machine data settings. The errors areoutput with the same error messages as appear if the function was incorrectlyprogrammed in the part program. This alarm is generated in addition, in order to indicate that an error refers tothe initialization sequence.

Parameter %3 specifies which function triggers the alarm:

Control power-up and (program) RESET: Value 0: Error during synchronization preprocessing/ main run 1: Error on selection of tool length compensation 2: Error on selection of transformation 3: Error on selection of zero offset

The macro definitions and cycle interfaces are also read in during the power-upprocedure. If an error occurs here, this is indicated by value = 4, orvalue = 5

Program start:Value100: Error during synchronization preprocessing/ main run101: Error on selection of tool length compensation102: Error on selection of transformation103: Error on selection of synchronized spindle104: Error on selection of zero offset

Particularly when tool management is active, it is possible that a toolon the spindle or the toolholder is disabled but still needs to be activated. These tools are automatically activated on RESET.On START, machine data $MC_TOOL_CHANGE_ERROR_MODE can beused to specify whether an alarm is generated or an automatic bypass strategyis applied.

If the parameter contains 3 values from 200 to 203, this means that aninsufficient number of NC blocks is available for NC block preparation oncertain commands (ASUP start, overstore selection, teach-in).

NCU link cannot transfer all link variables immediately

Informational alarm for part program developer.

A value assignment to a link variable (e.g. $a_dld[16]=19) is performed in themain run and transferred via NCU link to all NCUs in the link network. Thebandwidth of this connection restricts the number of value assignments whichcan be transferred in one interpolation cycle.

All value assignments are combined in the next main run block and performedimmediately this block is executed. A main run block is the block at which you would stop in single block modeSLB1. Examples: Blocks with a real traversing movement (G0 X100), Stopre, G4, WAITM, WAITE,... The alarm occurs if the number of link variables set in any interpolation cycleexceeds the number that can be transferred. The link variables are nottransferred until one of the next interpolation cycles. The assignment is notlost!

Alarm display.Warning display.

Insert main run blocks between the assignments if the program sequenceallows. See also $A_LINK_TRANS_RATE.

Clear the alarm with the Delete key. No further operator action necessary.

Channel %1 block %2 axis %3 wrong parameter for thread cutting

%1 = Channel number%2 = Block number, label%3 = Axis name, spindle number

In G33 (tapping with constant lead) the lead parameter was not assigned to theaxis that determines the velocity.

For longitudinal and face threads, the thread lead for the specified geometryaxis must be programmed under the associated interpolation parameter.

X → IY → JZ → K

For taper threads, the address I, J, K depends on the axis with the longer path(thread length). A 2nd lead for the other axis is, however, not specified.

Reasons for the fact that the asynchronous subroutine could not be triggered:1. The asynchronous subroutine does not exist ( / N CMA DIR/

_N_PROG_EVENT_SPF )2. The asynchronous subroutine is allowed to start in the referenced state

only. (see $MN_ASUP_START_MASK)3. READY is missing (because of alarm)

Channel %1 start program command action %2<ALNX> not possible

%1 = Channel ID%2 = Action number/action name

Currently, the alarm occurs only in combination with the SERUPRO action.SERUPRO stands for search via program test.

SERUPRO is currently searching the search target and has therefore switchedthis channel to the program test mode. With the START program command inchannel 1, another channel 2 would actually be started, which means that axeswould really be started during the search action.

If this alarm is switched off (see help), the user can make use of the abovebehavior by initially selecting via PLC the program test mode in channel 2,leaving channel 2 executing until its natural end, stopping channel 2 in order todeselect program test again.

Alarm display.Interface signals are set.NC Stop on alarmNC Start disable.

Alarm can be switched off with $MN_SERUPRO_MASK bit 1.

Clear the alarm with the RESET key. Restart part the program.

Channel %1 action %2<ALNX> not possible because ASUP is active

%1 = Channel ID%2 = Action number/action name

The action in the 2nd parameter was rejected, since an asynchronoussubprogram is currently active.

Currently, only the integrated search run is rejected with this alarm. Theintegrated search run is activated, if search run is triggered in the Stopprogram state. In other words: Parts of a program have already been executedand a following program part is "skipped" with search run in order to continuethe program afterwards.

The event is not possible if the program is stopped within an asynchronoussubprogram or if an asynchronous subprogram had been selected before theevent. An asynchronous subprogram is selected, when the triggeringasynchronous subprogram event arrives, but the asynchronous subprogramcannot be started (e.g. the asynchronous start program is not started becauseof a read-in disable or because the Stop key is active).

In this case, it is irrelevant whether a user ASUP or a system ASUP has beentriggered. User ASUPs are activated via FC-9 or via the fast inputs.

Currently, only the integrated search run is rejected with this alarm. Theintegrated search run is activated, if search run is triggered in the Stopprogram state.

%1 = Channel number %2 = Block number

When using system variables, it is assumed that a read/write operation canaccess the required data successfully. In accesses to encoder actual values ordigital I/Os, the result depends on the availability of the correspondinghardware components. If an access within synchronized actions does not return a valid value, alarm20144 is output. Outside synchronized actions, such a read/write access causes blockexecution to be interrupted until the result is available. Block execution issubsequently continued.

During the backup,the system detected that tools are still located in the buffer magazine (=spindle, gripper, ...).During the backup, these tools will lose the information which defines themagazine and location to which they are allocated. It is therefore practical -assuming that the data are to be stored exactly as before - to ensure that alltools have been deposited in the magazine before the data backup.

If this is not the case, some magazine locations will have the 'reserved' statuswhen the data are loaded again. This 'reserved' status must then be resetmanually.

For tools with fixed location coding, the loss of the information allocating theirlocation in the magazine has the same effect as a general empty locationsearch when they are returned to the magazine.

The path interpolation did not stop, as required, at the end of the block, but willonly decelerate to a standstill in the next block. This error situation occurs if the stop at block change was not planned by thepath interpolation or was not detected early enough. A possible cause is that the PLC changed the spindle speed when$MA_SPIND_ON_SPEED_AT_IPO_START > 0, and the machine has to waituntil the spindle has returned to the setpoint range. Another possible cause is that a synchronized action needs to be finishedbefore the path interpolation continues. The alarm is only output if $MN_TRACE_SELECT = 'H400'.

Axis %1 is not safely referenced

%1 = Axis number

There are two reasons for this alarm: - The machine position has not yet been acknowledged by the user,- The machine position has not yet been verified through follow-up referencing.Even if the axis is already referenced, there is no confirmation that referencinghas supplied the correct result. For example, wrong results can occur if theaxis was moved after the control was switched off, with the result that thestandstill position saved prior to switching off is no longer correct. To makesure that this does not happen, the user must acknowledge the displayedactual position after the first referencing process.When the user enable has first been set, follow-up referencing must be carriedout each time the control is booted (with absolute encoders, this follow-upreferencing is executed automatically). This procedure is carried out to verifythe standstill position saved prior to switching off of the control.Via machine data $MN_SAFE_ALARM_SUPPRESS_LEVEL (MD>=3), thealarm display can be set in such a way that the group alarm 27100 isdisplayed for all SI axes.

Alarm display.Display on the NC/PLC interface. The SGA "Axis safely referenced" is not set.Safe end position monitoring is deactivated. The safe cams are calculated andoutput; their information value is limited since referencing has not beenconfirmed.

Move the axis to a known position, change to the "Referencing" mode andpress the softkey "Enable". Check on the machine the positions displayed inthe enable diagram. If these correspond to those expected at the knownpositions, confirm this via the toggle key.If the user enable has already been set, reference the axis again.

The alarm automatically disappears as soon as the error situation no longerexists.

Find the difference between the monitoring channels. The error code indicatesthe cause. A possible cause is that the safety-related machine data are nolonger identical or that the SGEs do not have the same level (recalibrate). If noerror of this type is apparent, an error may have occurred in the CPU, e.g. a"flipped" memory cell. This error can be temporary (in this case it can beeliminated by a Power On) or permanent (if it occurs again after Power Onreplace the hardware).

Eliminate the error, press the RESET key. The program is aborted. If safemonitoring was active, STOP B was also enabled automatically. It is necessaryto switch the control off/on (POWER ON).

Axis %1 error in cross check: static difference in safe position

%1 = Axis number

Via the data cross check between NCK and 611D monitoring channel, adifference in actual values was detected, which is greater than the maximumtolerance defined in MD $MA_SAFE_POS_TOL. This can be checked bymeans of the safe position values for the two monitoring channels displayed inthe service menu.

The alarm is displayed only, if monitoring with absolute reference (SE/SN) hasbeen enabled for the specified axis and if the user enable has been set.The alarm is cleared, as soon as the user enable is deleted or the actual valuedifference between the two monitoring channels falls again below themaximum permissible difference.

Alarm display

If the alarm is present statically, the user enable must be deleted.When the control is then rebooted, the machine can be brought to the safestate again and operation resumed by a new referencing process and settingof the user enable.Prior to setting the user enable, the actual position of the axis displayed in the"User enable" screen must be compared with the current machine position.This is obligatory to ensure the ensure proper functioning of the safe limitpositions (SE) and safe cams (SN).

The alarm disappears automatically when the user enable is given.

Axis %1 parameter assignment of MD %2[%3] invalid POWER ON

%1 = Axis number%2 = Machine data identifier%3 = Machine data index

Parameterization of the machine data %2 is incorrect. An additional indicationis the field index of the machine data. If the machine data is a single machinedata a zero is specified as array index. This alarm occurs in the followingcontexts:

1. The conversion of the specified MD into the internal calculation formatleads to overflow.

2. The values entered in 36934 SAFE_POS_LIMIT_PLUS and$MA_SAFE_POS_LIMIT_MINUS have been interchanged. The upperlimit is less than or equal to the lower limit.

3. For an axis with safety functions the setpoint/actual-value channelassignment in 36910 SAFE_ENC_SEGMENT_NR,36100 CTRLOUT_SEGMENT_NR was not carried out on the drive bus.No module number has been specified for a setpoint/actual-value channelassignment in 30110 CTRLOUT_MODULE_NR,36911 SAFE_ENC_MODULE_NR.

4. The number of drives has changed. On reading back the standstillposition and the associated drive number, a difference has been found tothe momentary drive configuration.

5. A safety function has been enabled in 36901SAFE_FUNCTION_ENABLE without the safety functions SBH/SG havingbeen enabled.

6. Error on parameterizing the input/output settings for the SGEs/SGAs.

7. Zero has been entered in 36917 SAFE_ENC_GRID_POINT_DIST.

8. Zero has been entered in 36918 SAFE_ENC_RESOL.

9. Various settings have been made in 30300 IS_ROT_AX and36902 SAFE_IS_ROT_AX.

10. A measuring circuit that does not exist was programmed in$MA_SAFE_ENC_INPUT_NR.

810D: - In $MA_SAFE_ENC_INPUT_NR an encoder number was entered which is assigned to another axis for actual value acquisition.- In $MA_SAFE_ENC_INPUT_NR a second measuring circuit was parameterized.

11. In $MA_SAFE_ENC_MODULE_NR the number of a drive has beenentered; this drive either does not exist or has been detected as inactive.With an inactive drive, $MA_SAFE_ENC_TYPE was not reset to 0.

12. In $MA_SAFE_ENC_TYPE an encoder type was parameterized whichdoes not match the physically present type.

13. In $MA_SAFE_ENC_TYPE an incorrect encoder type was entered foran active drive ($MA_SAFE_ENC_TYPE=0,2,3 or 5).

14. When setting the parameters for the motor encoder in$MA_SAFE_ENC_INPUT_NR the dual channels of the measuring circuitare used for backup purposes for the 2nd measuring system. The 2ndmeasuring circuit of this drive module has also been parameterized in thedata of another axis, therefore there is a dual assignment. The 2ndmeasuring circuit connection cannot be used for the actual valueacquisition in this parameterization.

At least one axis is not safely referenced

There are two reasons for this alarm:- The machine position of at least one of the axes monitored with SI has not yet

been acknowledged by the user, or- The machine position of at least one of the axes monitored with SI has not yet

been verified through follow-up referencing.Even if the axis is already referenced, there is no confirmation that referencinghas supplied the correct result. For example, wrong results can occur if theaxis was moved after the control was switched off, with the result that thestandstill position saved prior to switching off is no longer correct. To makesure that this does not happen, the user must acknowledge the displayedactual position after the first referencing process.When the user enable has first been set, follow-up referencing must be carriedout each time the control is booted (with absolute encoders, this follow-upreferencing is executed automatically). This procedure is carried out to verifythe standstill position saved prior to switching off of the control.Via the machine data $MN_SAFE_ALARM_SUPPRESS_LEVEL (MD>=3), thealarm display can be set in such a way that an alarm is given for each axisindividually which has not been safely referenced.

Alarm display.

Move all SI axes to known positions and change to "Referencing" mode. Checkthe positions on the machine displayed in the user confirmation field and set"User confirmation" via the selection/toggle key.If the user confirmation for the axes has already been set, reference the axesagain.

The 3D clearance control has been switched off with CLC(0) while tool radiuscompensation is still active (G41/G42).Since CLC(0) empties the internal block buffer and transfers the currentposition offset of the clearance control as a "contour jump" to the interpreter,TRC must be deactivated when this command is issued.

Abortion of part program interpretationAlarm signal in PLC interface

Switching on the transformation with rotary axis settings that define a different tool orientation requires an orientation step change and is therefore rejected.

2. The transformation has been switched off temporarily (TRAFOOF) while clearance control is still active. When the transformation is switched on again, the tool orientation must be the same as when it was switched off, i.e. the rotary axes must not be moved while the transformation is deactivated.

Drive power failure

In one or several (all) drive modules, there is a power failure although powerwas previously available. (The timeout is checked for write/read accesses.Timeouts are interpreted as power failure because this is the most probablecase. The test takes place in the cyclic mode only but not at system power-up.)

Since the drives in the SINUMERIK 840D and the NC-CPU have the samepower supply, this error does not occur here because then the NCU is alsowithout power supply. In the SINUMERIK FM-NC, this error can arise becausethe power supply is separate.

With linear motors the pole-pair width and graduations data is used forcalculating the equivalent (internal) pole-pair number and (internal) encodermarks. For this it is necessary that the encoder marks correspond to one or xpole-pair widths as an integer.This error message is output if the result is not an integer pole-pairwidth/graduations*x (to x=16) or if the calculated internal encoder marks valueis too high.Absolute interpretation as an integer if the result is within a +/- 0.001 tolerance.

Please inform the authorized personnel/service department.Long traversing paths:It is advisable to use a length measuring system where the encoder marksmatch x* pole-pair widths as integer.

Short traversing paths:With short traversing paths, only a small error can accumulate and hardlyaffect the heating and the maximum power that can be reached if the encodermarks do not comply with the +/-0.001 tolerance. Then it is advisable to slightlymodify the pole-pair width:

Example:Pole-pair width: 56.8 mm, graduations: 2.7 um=> Pole-pair number = 1, encoder marks = 21037.037 => errorAvoid the error by entering pole-pair width =56.7999 mm.=> Pole-pair number = 1, encoder marks = 21037.0 => no error

Error code 0040HAdditional info 1Additional info 2Definition An illegal number of current setpoint filters (> 4) was entered.Remedy Correct the number of current setpoint filters (MD 1200)

Error code 0041HAdditional info 1Additional info 2Definition An illegal number of speed setpoint filters (> 2) was entered.Remedy Correct the number of speed setpoint filters (MD 1500).

Error code 0044HAdditional info 1Additional info 2 NC DRIVE NUMBERDefinition The rotor position synchronization is not correct (only drive software SW 2.5).

The difference between the first part of the rotor position synchronization (coarsesynchronization) and the second part (fine synchronization with active encoder zero mark) isgreater than 45 el.Causes for the difference:- Wrong encoder adjustment- EMC problems on zero mark signal- Voltage level of C/D track too high

Remedy - Check encoder adjustment or EMC measures- New start-up- Check MODE- Replace the motor

Error code 0045HAdditional info 1Additional info 2 NC DRIVE NUMBERDefinition The NC entered either an encoder with distance-coded reference marks or a BERO switch in

the $1D register of the motor measuring system of the PCU ASIC. This is not allowed duringfine synchronization that has been activated through power-up, through zero monitoring errorsor through deselecting the parking axis.

Remedy The NC must not enter encoders with distance-coded reference marks or a BERO switch inthe $1D register of the motor measuring system of the PCU ASIC after power-up, with zeromonitoring errors or after deselection of the parking axis.

Error code 0046HAdditional info 1Additional info 2Definition From drive software SW 4.02 and higher, powering up of the drive is possible only when the

drive software has been loaded.Remedy Reload drive software.
