HEIDENHAIN 140-0026 - Attribute inserted in data object Attribute
This alarm indicates that the TNC control has automatically added a missing attribute to a data object to maintain compatibility with the current software version. This commonly occurs during software updates, file imports from older controls, or when the control detects incomplete data structures that need to be updated to current format standards.
HEIDENHAIN 140-0026 - Attribute inserted in data object Attribute
Attribute inserted in data object Attribute
The loaded configuration data comes from an older control version. Missing attributes were automatically inserted into an incomplete data object by update rules.
Root Cause Summary
This alarm indicates that the TNC control has automatically added a missing attribute to a data object to maintain compatibility with the current software version. This commonly occurs during software updates, file imports from older controls, or when the control detects incomplete data structures that need to be updated to current format standards.
Safety
Causes and Fixes
Identify Updated Data Object
Read the alarm parameters '%1' (object type), '%2' (object name), and '%3' (attribute name) from the error log. Press MOD > Service > Error Messages to view complete alarm details with all parameters.
Common objects affected include tool.t, preset.pr, kinematics.h, and tncopt.sys files during major version updates.
Verify Software Version Change
Check MOD > System Settings > Software Info to confirm current NC software version. Compare with previous version documented in machine records to identify if upgrade occurred.
Updates from iTNC 530.xxx to TNC 640.xxx or within major build numbers (e.g., 340.xxx to 640.xxx) frequently trigger data structure updates.
Review Inserted Attribute
Open the affected data object (e.g., tool table via MOD > Tool Table or preset table via MOD > Datum Table) and verify the new attribute appears with appropriate default values.
New attributes typically receive safe default values (0, empty string, or OFF) - verify these defaults are appropriate for your machining operations.
Clear Alarm and Document
Acknowledge the alarm using the CE (Clear Error) key. Document the software version change and affected data objects in machine maintenance log for future reference.
This alarm is informational - the control has already corrected the data structure. No further action is typically required unless default values need adjustment.
