PS0017

Press ALARM key to view full alarm message and note the displayed program line number (Nxxxx) and O-number where PS0017 occurred.

Navigate to EDIT mode, search for the flagged program block, and examine coordinate values (X, Y, Z, U, V, W, A, B, C) and offset values (H, D codes) for missing + or - signs, especially after address letters.

Check parameter 3404#0 (ISC) which controls incremental/absolute sign requirements. If set to 1, incremental commands (G91) may require explicit signs. Verify programming matches parameter setting.

Changing parameter 3404 affects all incremental programming syntax machine-wide

Correct the program by adding explicit + or - signs where required (e.g., change 'X100.0' to 'X+100.0' or 'X-100.0' if mandatory), save the program, reset alarm with RESET key, and re-verify program syntax.

In EDIT mode, locate the alarm block and identify F, S, T, M, H, or D codes. Check if any contain minus signs (e.g., 'F-500' or 'S-1200') which are invalid for these addresses.

Review custom macro (G65/G66) calls and variable assignments (#xxx=) in the flagged block. Check parameter 6001-6256 (macro variable settings) to verify signed/unsigned variable usage restrictions.

Remove invalid signs from unsigned addresses (change 'S-1000' to 'S1000') or restructure macro logic to use absolute values where required. Verify against Fanuc programming manual for your control series (0i/16i/18i/30i/31i/32i).

Press RESET to clear PS0017 alarm, return to MEM or AUTO mode, and perform dry run with single block (SBL) enabled to verify corrected program executes without syntax errors.

Navigate to OFFSET/SETTING > WORK ZERO OFFSET screen and cross-reference G54-G59 values with any G10 L2 Pxx Xx Yx Zx commands in the program at the alarm location.

Review G10 L10/L11 tool geometry/wear offset commands in EDIT mode. Verify format matches required syntax: 'G10 L10 P__ X±__ Z±__' with explicit signs. Check parameter 5001-5032 for offset format settings.

Correct G10 command syntax by ensuring all coordinate axes include + or - signs (e.g., 'G10 L2 P1 X+50.0 Y-30.0 Z+100.0'), and verify R address (if used) has proper sign for radial offsets.

Incorrect G10 commands can overwrite existing work offsets and tool compensation data

Press RESET to clear alarm, execute corrected G10 block in MDI mode first to verify syntax acceptance, then run full program in MEM mode with feed rate override at 0% to validate all offset commands.
