Description

MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS NOT ALLOWED

Multiple functions are not allowed.

MULTIPLE SPINDLE CONFIGURATION ERROR

Each multiple spindle must have a servo board identified in AMP to indicate to which board the

spindle is connected. The spindle must be included in the number-of-motors AMP parameter for

the board the spindle is on.

MUST ASSIGN TOOL NUMBER FIRST

In random tool, an attempt was made to customize a tool before the tool number was assigned.

MUST BE IN (AUTO)

It is necessary to place the control in auto mode to perform the requested operation.

MUST BE IN (AUTO) OR (MDI)

It is necessary to place the control in Auto or MDI mode to perform the requested operation.

MUST BE IN (CYCLE STOP)

It is necessary to place the control in cycle stop state to perform the requested operation. The

control cannot be in cycle suspend, feed hold, or E-Stop.

MUST BE IN (CYCLE STOP) AND (EOB)

The control must be in cycle stop state and at the end-of--program block to perform the

requested operation. The control cannot be executing a program, in cycle suspend, feed hold,

or E-Stop.

MUST BE IN (E-STOP)

An attempt was made to perform an operation (such as, editing the reversal error parameters in

online AMP) that must be performed in E-Stop. Place the control in E-Stop by pressing the

<E-STOP> button.

MUST BE IN (LINEAR MODE)

An attempt was made to perform an operation (such as, exiting from cutter compensation) that

must be performed in a linear block (G00 or G01).

MUST BE IN (MANUAL)

It is necessary to place the control in manual mode to perform the requested operation.

MUST BE IN (MDI)

It is necessary to place the control in MDI mode to perform the requested operation.

MUST BE IN E-STOP OR CYCLE STOPPED

It is necessary to place the control in E-Stop or cycle stop state to perform the requested

operation. Place the control in E-Stop by pressing the <E-STOP> button. Place the control in

cycle stop state by pressing the <SINGLE BLOCK> button. Simply pressing <CYCLE STOP>

will not guarantee the control to be in cycle stop mode. Most likely a cycle stop request while

executing a program will place the control in cycle suspend mode. If you get this error using the

CALC function it indicates you may be asking the calculator function to access a paramacro

variable (using the # sign) when a program is executing. You can not use a paramacro variable

# sign in a calculator function when any part program is executing or suspended.

MUST BE IN MANUAL MODE TO HOME

To do a jog home operation (from jog retract) the control must be in manual mode.

MUST COMPLETE ACTIVE HOME OPERATION

An attempt was made to jog a dual group when one of the axes of the dual was homing.

MUST DISABLE RUN-TIME GRAPHICS

An attempt was made to call up one of the QuickView prompting options while the active

graphics option was currently executing. Active graphics must be disabled before QuickView

prompting can be performed.

MUST HOME ANGLE SOURCE AXIS FIRST

Before you can enter angled wheel grinding mode both the axial and wheel axes must be

homed.

MUST HOME AXIS

An attempt was made to perform axis calibration before the axes were homed. Axes can be

homed manually or by programming a G28 block.

MUST SETUP THE ENCRYPTION ARRAY

An attempt was made to encrypt a part program while uploading it to ODS or the mini-DNC

package. The encryption array must be set up before you can encrypt a part program.

MUST START WITH $, %, !, #, +, --, LTR, DIGIT
