Error and System Messages
Appendix B
B-33
Message Description
PAL SOURCE REV. MISMATCH -- CAN’T MONITOR PAL source code in the control does not match the revision of the CNC executive. The PAL
code may execute if all of the PAL system flags exist but the monitor cannot be used.
PAL USING MEMORY - REFORMAT The AMP parameter allowing PAL to be stored in RAM memory has been enabled. This
changes the amount of RAM memory available for part program storage, requiring the RAM disk
to be reformatted. Part programs should have been backed up prior to this.
PARAMETER ASSIGNMENT SYNTAX ERROR A block that assigns Paramacro parameters has been entered incorrectly.
PARAMETER NUMBER NOT FOUND The AMP parameter number being searched for through the control’s patch AMP utility does not
exist in the system.
PARAMETER VALUE OUT OF RANGE The value entered for the selected AMP parameter or paramacro parameter is less than or
greater than the allowed legal value.
PARENTHESIS INPUT ERROR Parentheses have been entered incorrectly in a program block or calculation operation. Correct
the use of the parenthesis; verify they are in matched pairs.
PARITY ERROR IN PROGRAM A serial communications error has occurred. A data parity error occurred while sending or
receiving data. This can result in a corrupted file, or the entire date transfer operation may be
aborted by the control.
PARK AXIS MOTION NOT ALLOWED Axis motion was programmed for a parked axis in a dual axis group. When both master and
slave axes are parked, no axis motion is allowed on a parked axis in a dual group.
PART PROGRAM NOT SELECTED An attempt was made to execute a program or check a program before a program was selected
for execution.
PART ROTATION FORMAT ERROR In part rotation blocks (G68, G69), only plane changes and mode changes including inch/metric
and absolute/incremental are permitted. Any commands other than normal motion commands
and the motion G-codes (G00, G01, G02, and G03) are not permitted.
PASSWORD PROTECTED When assigning password protectable features to an access level, an attempt was made to
assign a feature to a different access level when the currently active password does not have
access to the feature. You can assign features to other access levels only when you have
access to that feature yourself.
PEAK CURRENT NOT 300% The axis for a 1394 or 9/440 is not AMPed to have the PEAK CURRENT set to 300%. This
misconfiguration forces the control into E--Stop.
PERIPHERAL DEVICE ERROR An illegal communication attempt was made with a peripheral device, for example, attempting to
output to a tape reader or input from a tape punch.
PLANE SELECT ERROR An attempt was made to change planes during cutter compensation (TTRC), between QPP
blocks, or between chamfer and corner rounding blocks. This error also will occur if G17 or G19
planes are selected on a lathe.
PLEASE WAIT FOR CLEARING OF PAL MEMORY PAL is being erased in preparation for a PAL download.
PLUNGE MOTION NOT ALLOWED The final plunge position must be different from the start point of the cycle. This message can
occur if the plunge axis is not programmed in the entry block to G89 mode, or if the plunge axis
increment is zero, or if the final plunge axis position is the same as the start point of the cycle
block during G89 mode.
PLUNGE MOTION NOT PROGRAMMED In your pocket cycle you have either not programmed a final depth, or the final depth you have
programmed is equal to the depth of the cutting tool at the starting point of the cycle. The
location of the cutting tool when the pocket cycle is programmed must be at a different depth
than the final programmed depth of the cycle.
PLUNGE NOT ALLOWED A plunge that will cut into the pocket wall was requested in a G89 irregular pocket cycle.
PLUNGE STEPS MIS--PROGRAMMED The rough, medium, and fine-feed depths in the cycle block are not programmed correctly. This
is possible if the data in the block is incorrect or if the data in the modal values of the parameter
not programmed in the block are incorrect.
POCKET END NOT SAME AS START A pocket end-point that is not the same as the pocket start-point was programmed in a G89
irregular pocket cycle.
