Safety
Causes and Fixes
Access machine parameter menu
Press MOD key, enter machine parameter mode, navigate to General Machine Data section.
Ensure machine is in safe state before accessing parameters
Check axis configuration parameters
Verify MP1010.x AXIS_NAME parameters for the affected axis. Ensure proper assignment to X, Y, or Z direction.
Cross-reference with machine manufacturer's parameter documentation
Correct axis direction assignment
Set the appropriate axis direction parameter (XAxis=0, YAxis=1, ZAxis=2) for the affected axis number.
Incorrect assignment can cause dangerous machine movement
Perform parameter reset and restart
Execute parameter validation, perform controlled restart to activate changes.
Document original parameter values before making changes
