Identify the block number displayed with the alarm and locate it in the part program.

Examine the G02 or G03 command and verify if both R and any combination of I, J, or K appear in the same block.

Remove either the R value or the IJK values from the block. For simple arcs less than 180 degrees, R format is simpler. For arcs greater than 180 degrees, use R with negative value or switch to IJK format.

Reset the alarm, restart the program from a safe position, and verify the arc executes correctly.

Always perform a dry run or single block execution after program modifications to verify correct tool path.

Check if the alarm occurs in a section using macro variables (#variables) or parametric programming (WHILE, IF statements).

Use single block mode and trace the macro variable values leading up to the alarm to identify which variables are populating the arc command.

Review the macro logic to ensure conditional statements properly assign either R format OR IJK format, not both. Add conditional branches to select only one method.

Test the modified macro program with various input conditions to ensure the alarm does not reoccur under different scenarios.

Document the macro variable ranges and conditions that were causing the conflict for future reference.

Verify if this is a newly posted program or if the post-processor was recently updated. Check if multiple programs from the same CAM system exhibit this alarm.

Review the post-processor configuration settings and ensure arc output format is set to either R format or IJK format exclusively, not both.

Manually edit the current program to remove duplicate arc definitions as a temporary fix, then contact your CAM software provider or post-processor specialist to correct the post configuration.

Do not continue using a faulty post-processor as it may introduce other programming errors beyond this alarm.

After post-processor correction, re-post the toolpath and compare with the original program to verify proper arc command formatting throughout.
