Error and System Messages
Appendix B
B-25
Message Description
MAXIMUM BLOCK NUMBER REACHED A renumber operation was performed to renumber block sequence numbers (N-words), and the
control has exceeded a block number of N99999. Either the program is too large to renumber,
or the parameters for the first sequence number, or the sequence number increment, are too
large. When this error occurs, the renumber operation stops renumbering at the last block
within the legal range of N-words.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF AXES EXCEEDED If the COCOM breakout is true, a maximum of 4 concurrent interpolated axes can be used.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PROGRAMS The RAM disk directory for part program storage is full. You can store only 328 files on the
system even when memory is available for part program storage.
MAXIMUM RETRACE COUNT REACHED The limit (defined in AMP) for the amount of retrace blocks allowed was reached. No further
retracing will be allowed.
MAXIMUM REVERSE PLANES EXCEEDED The order that the axes are named in AMP is important. If, for example, axis one’s name is
assigned as X and axis three’s name is assigned as Z, a reverse plane is defined if the G18
plane is assigned in AMP as the ZX plane. The G18 plane defines a plane consisting of axis 3
followed by axis 1, making it a reverse plane (axis 1 followed by axis 3 would be a normal plane
since 1 is configured before 3 from the standpoint of ODS). This also pertains to parallel axes.
A maximum of four reverse planes is allowed. If your system exceeds this number of reverse
planes, you must re-configure your AMP.
MAXIMUM RPM LIMIT AUXILIARY SPINDLE 2 A request was made for the aux spindle 2 speed to exceed the AMPed maximum value.
Reduce the programmed aux spindle 2 speed, or use the spindle speed override switch to
reduce the RPM.
MAXIMUM RPM LIMIT AUXILIARY SPINDLE 3 A request was made for the aux spindle 3 speed to exceed the AMPed maximum value.
Reduce the programmed aux spindle 3 speed, or use the spindle speed override switch to
reduce the RPM.
MAXIMUM RPM LIMIT FIRST SPINDLE A request was made for the spindle 1 speed to exceed the AMPed maximum value. Reduce the
programmed spindle 1 speed, or use the spindle speed override switch to reduce the RPM.
MAXIMUM RPM LIMIT PRIMARY SPINDLE A request was made for the primary spindle speed to exceed the AMPed maximum value.
Reduce the programmed primary spindle speed, or use the spindle speed override switch to
reduce the RPM.
MAXIMUM RPM LIMIT SECOND SPINDLE A request was made for the spindle 2 speed to exceed the AMPed maximum value. Reduce the
programmed spindle 2 speed, or use the spindle speed override switch to reduce the RPM.
MAXIMUM RPM LIMIT THIRD SPINDLE A request was made for the spindle 3 speed to exceed the AMPed maximum value. Reduce the
programmed spindle 3 speed, or use the spindle speed override switch to reduce the RPM.
MESSAGE PENDING, PRESS A KEY TO DISPLAY The 9/Series screen saver is engaged and a system error message, PAL error message, E-Stop
condition, or PAL display page has been activated. Press any key on the keyboard to disable
the screen saver and view the error or PAL display page.
MDI INPUT COMMAND TOO LONG The MDI input command string exceeds the maximum length allowed.
MDI NOT ALLOWED DURING INTERRUPT MACRO An attempt was made to halt the execution of a interrupt program and execute a MDI command.
MDI commands cannot be executed during the execution of a interrupt program.
MDI NOT ALLOWED DURING POCKET MILLING An MDI command cannot be programmed while a G88 or G89 pocket milling cycle is executing.
MDI NOT ALLOWED DURING RETRACE You cannot use MDI while a retrace operation is in progress.
MEASUREMENT POINT OVERFLOW The user tried to enter more points into online AMP for axis calibration than are permitted.
MEMORY CRASH - REFORMAT A major error has occurred within the system RAM memory. All part programs stored in memory
will have to be be deleted by performing a reformat operation. This will not remove the current
versions of AMP or PAL from the system.
MEMORY FULL There is no more RAM memory space for part program storage. If you are in the process of
editing a part program, your changes cannot be saved.
MIDSTART NOT ALLOWED FROM TAPE You cannot perform a mid-program start on a program that is stored on tape. The program must
first be transferred to RAM memory.
