Safety
Causes and Fixes
At the alarm screen, note the exact G-code and line number (N-number) causing PS010. Press RESET and use EDIT mode to navigate to the flagged block.
Navigate to SYSTEM > PARAMETER and check parameter 3106#0-#7 and 3107#0-#7 (G-code system selection bits) to verify which G-codes are enabled. Cross-reference with your control's programming manual for the specific series.
Press SYSTEM > OPTION and verify installed software options. Look for options like High-Speed Machining (bit 2), AI Contour Control, 5-Axis Machining, or Smooth TCP depending on the G-code in question.
If the option is missing, either modify the post-processor to exclude unsupported G-codes or contact Fanuc/machine builder for option enablement. If the option is present, verify parameter 19500-19699 series for G-code specific enable/disable settings.
Enabling software options requires proper licensing and may need Fanuc service involvement
