Identify Deleted Tool

Note the '%2' identifier from alarm which indicates the tool number or tool name that was removed from the tool table (TOOL.T table).

Press HELP key while alarm is active to see additional context about which table the object was removed from.

Check Tool Table

Access tool table via MOD function or Programming/Editing mode > TOOL TABLE softkey to verify the tool entry is missing and review recent modifications.

Enable the tool table log function in machine parameter 7246 to track all tool data changes automatically.

Restore Tool Data

If deletion was unintentional, restore tool data from backup file (typically TOOL.T) stored in TNC:\table\ directory or from USB backup using MOD > Restore function.

Ensure machine is in a safe state before restoring tool table data, as tool length compensation values affect all machining operations.

Verify Program References

Search active NC programs for TOOL CALL or TOOL DEF references to the deleted tool number and update programs accordingly or recreate the tool entry.

Use the TNC's search function (GOTO LINE + SEARCH softkey) across multiple programs to find all references to the tool number.

Identify Removed Preset

Check the '%2' parameter which indicates the preset number (e.g., PR 1, PR 2) that was removed from the preset table (PRESET.PR).

Preset deletions often occur during setup changes between jobs - verify with machine operator if this was intentional.

Access Preset Table

Navigate to Position/Preset Table softkey or MOD > Preset Table to review current preset entries and confirm the removal.

The preset table shows last modification timestamp - use this to correlate with operator shift changes.

Check Active Datum

Verify the current active preset using position display (POS softkey) to ensure the deleted preset is not currently active in any axis system.

If a program calls a deleted preset with PRESET SELECT or CYCL DEF 247, the program will generate errors during execution.

Restore or Recreate Preset

Restore preset table from backup file PRESET.PR in TNC:\table\ directory, or manually re-establish the preset using touch probe cycles or manual datum setting.

Use preset table export function (MOD > Data Transfer) to regularly backup preset data before setup changes.

Review Pallet Configuration

Access pallet table via MOD > Pallet Management or check PAL.TAB file to identify which pallet or fixture reference '%2' was removed.

Pallet table changes are common during production changeovers - coordinate with production planning to verify intentional changes.

Check PLC Status

Review PLC program and marker status (DIAGNOSIS > PLC) for pallet management markers that may have triggered automatic cleanup of unused pallet data.

Machine parameter 7680.x controls pallet management behavior - review these if automatic cleanup is unexpectedly aggressive.

Verify Production Schedule

Confirm with operator that pallet removal aligns with current production schedule and no active programs reference the deleted pallet configuration.

Use the control's job list or program run monitoring to verify no queued jobs require the removed pallet setup.

Restore or Acknowledge

Either restore pallet table from backup if removal was unintentional, or clear alarm to acknowledge the configuration change is acceptable.

Establish standard backup procedures for pallet tables using MOD > Data Transfer to network location before major setup changes.

Check Software Version

Access MOD > System Information to verify if a recent software update occurred that might have triggered data object cleanup or migration.

After TNC software updates, always review alarm log (DIAGNOSIS > Alarm Log) for all 140-xxxx series alarms indicating data changes.
