Fanuc Alarm 032 - Canned Cycle Error
Fanuc Alarm 032 occurs when a canned cycle (G73, G74, G76, G80-G89) is programmed with missing, incompatible, or invalid address parameters. This alarm is triggered by the control's NC program interpreter when it detects structural errors in the canned cycle block such as missing required axes (X, Y, Z, R), contradictory depth values, or improper modal conditions prior to cycle execution.
Fanuc Alarm 032 - Canned Cycle Error
Canned Cycle Not Allowed
Fanuc program alarm 032: Canned Cycle Not Allowed. The part program contains an error or illegal condition that the Fanuc control cannot execute. Correct the program to clear this alarm.
Root Cause Summary
Fanuc Alarm 032 occurs when a canned cycle (G73, G74, G76, G80-G89) is programmed with missing, incompatible, or invalid address parameters. This alarm is triggered by the control's NC program interpreter when it detects structural errors in the canned cycle block such as missing required axes (X, Y, Z, R), contradictory depth values, or improper modal conditions prior to cycle execution.
Safety
Causes and Fixes
Review the program block causing the alarm and verify all required addresses are present: R (retract/reference plane), Z (depth for drilling/boring), X/Y (hole position in G90 or incremental in G91), and F (feedrate). Check programming manual for specific cycle requirements.
Confirm G90 (absolute) or G91 (incremental) mode is correctly set before the canned cycle. Verify Z and R values are logically correct - in G90 mode with Z-axis down, R-value must be greater than Z-value (R closer to part surface).
Check parameter 5101 (G code system selection) to confirm canned cycle behavior matches programming intent. Bit settings affect whether addresses are modal or must be specified each time.
Use EDIT mode to single-block through the program section. Press SYSTEM > PROGRAM > CHECK to view current modal G-code states and verify all prerequisite conditions are met before canned cycle execution.
