HEIDENHAIN 130-0002 -

This TNC7/TNC 640 error (130-0002) relates to ''. System error

Root Cause Summary

This alarm indicates a critical system-level failure within the TNC control's core architecture. The error typically stems from hardware component failure, corrupted system software, or severe memory/resource violations that compromise the real-time operating system. This is not an application-level error but rather a fundamental breakdown in the control's ability to maintain system integrity.

Safety

  • Refer to Heidenhain service manual
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Access Error Logging

    Navigate to TNC:\sys\Log\ directory using the file manager (PGM MGT key). Open ErrorLog.txt to identify specific system error codes and timestamps that correlate with alarm 130-0002.

    Copy error log files to USB drive before performing any system recovery procedures—these logs are invaluable for Heidenhain service diagnostics.

  2. 2

    Verify Software Version Integrity

    Press MOD key, select 'System Information' and document the NC software number (e.g., 340590 XX). Cross-reference with the software label on the control cabinet to verify correct installation.

    Mismatched software versions between main control and expansion modules can cause system errors.

  3. 3

    Check PLC Program Status

    Access MOD > 'PLC' > 'Program Information' to verify PLC program compilation status. A corrupted or improperly compiled PLC program can cause system resource conflicts.

    If PLC program shows errors, restore from backup (.PLC or .H file) from TNC:\plc\backup\ directory.

  4. 4

    Perform Software Recovery

    If corruption is suspected, initiate NC software reinstallation using the Heidenhain installation media. Boot from USB/DVD into installation mode and select 'Repair Installation' option to preserve machine parameters.

    Always backup TNC:\sys\par\ directory and machine parameters (OEM cycle) before software reinstallation.

Service Recommendedmedium confidence

Call a technician if:

  • ·Parameter backup unavailable
  • ·Multiple axes affected
  • ·Servo instability after parameter changes
  • ·Encoder hardware suspected

Prevention

  • Regular parameter backup
  • Validate mathematical operations in NC programs
  • Monitor servo following errors during operation
  • Document all parameter changes with dates and reasons

Common Mistakes

  • Changing multiple parameters simultaneously
  • Not backing up parameters before modifications
  • Ignoring servo following error trends
  • Using extremely small values in mathematical calculations
