Identify affected tool table attribute

Press MOD key, select 'Tool Table' and locate the tool number or name referenced in '%2'. Check the attribute '%3' mentioned in alarm (common: L=length, R=radius, R2=radius2, LCUTS=cutting edge length, ATP=auto tool changer position).

The alarm displays immediately after pressing ENT on an invalid entry—the cursor remains on the problematic field.

Verify data type and range

Ensure numeric fields contain only numbers and decimal points. Check that values are within permissible ranges: tool lengths typically ±9999.9999mm, radii 0-999.9999mm, pocket numbers 0-254. Remove any alphabetic characters except in NAME or DOC fields.

Do not use comma as decimal separator; TNC controls require period (.) for decimal point.

Correct and validate entry

Enter correct value, press ENT to confirm. If alarm persists, delete the entire tool entry and re-create it. Verify tool.t file integrity by checking file size and date in PGM MGT.

Access preset table

Press 'Preset Table' key or navigate through MOD → Preset Table. Identify the preset number '%2' and attribute '%3' (X, Y, Z coordinate values, SPA, SPB, SPC rotation angles, or preset number itself).

Preset numbers must be between 0-2999 depending on control model; check specific limits in machine parameter 7160.

Verify coordinate ranges

Check that X, Y, Z values are within machine's maximum traverse range defined in axis-specific machine parameters (MP 1010-1013 for software limit switches). Rotation angles SPA, SPB, SPC must be -360 to +360 degrees.

Entering values beyond software limit switches can cause this alarm before physically moving the machine.

Correct preset entry

Enter valid coordinates within machine range. If values were imported from CAM or external source, verify unit consistency (mm vs. inch). Clear alarm with CE and verify preset is properly stored by recalling it.

Identify kinematic data object

Check the '%1' parameter which indicates the .kin file name (e.g., 'HEAD.kin', 'TABLE.kin'). Navigate to MOD → Settings → Kinematics → Configuration to view active kinematic description.

Access detailed kinematic data through MOD → Settings → Kinematics → Edit (requires machinemanufacturer password level).

Verify geometric parameters

Check attribute '%3' which typically refers to rotary axis position vectors (X, Y, Z components), rotation axis direction vectors, or TCP offset values. Ensure all geometric parameters are in millimeters and within ±99999 range.

Incorrect kinematic data can cause collision risk; only modify with accurate machine documentation and in machine manufacturer mode.

Validate kinematic consistency

Use built-in kinematic test function: MOD → Settings → Kinematics → Test to verify geometric consistency. Restore from backup .kin file if corruption suspected, or regenerate using Heidenhain KinematicsOpt software.

Compare suspicious .kin file with original machine manufacturer version stored in TNC:\system\kinematics directory.

Access machine parameters

Press MOD key, enter password for 'Inspection' or 'Manufacturer' level depending on parameter protection. Navigate to parameter indicated in data object '%1' (may be shown as MP number or parameter group).

Incorrect machine parameters can cause machine malfunction or safety issues; document original values before making changes.
