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

Verify parameter backup integrity

Check if parameter backup file is complete and matches machine configuration requirements.

Compare file size and date with known good backups

Re-import complete parameter set

Navigate to parameter management, select complete machine parameter import from verified backup source.

Ensure backup is from identical machine configuration

Validate axis configuration table

Review complete axis parameter table to ensure all defined axes have corresponding direction assignments.

Use parameter comparison function to identify missing entries

Execute system initialization

Perform complete TNC system restart with parameter validation to ensure proper axis recognition.

Machine will require re-homing after parameter changes

Perform parameter consistency check

Use TNC diagnostic functions to check parameter table integrity and identify corrupted entries.

Access through Service menu if available on your TNC version

Clear and rebuild axis parameter section

Clear affected axis parameters and manually rebuild axis configuration table with proper directional assignments.

Document all existing parameters before clearing

Verify parameter cross-references

Ensure axis numbering consistency across all related parameter groups (servo, encoder, direction).

Use parameter search function to find all references to affected axis

Test axis functionality

Perform controlled axis movement tests to verify proper directional response after parameter correction.

Use minimal movement distances for initial testing

Review machine configuration documentation

Consult machine builder's parameter specification for correct axis direction assignments.

Contact machine manufacturer for verified parameter template

Configure axis direction parameters systematically

Set MP1010.x parameters according to machine mechanical layout and coordinate system requirements.

Verify mechanical axis orientation before parameter assignment

Validate complete axis parameter set

Ensure all axis-related parameters (servo, encoder, limits, direction) are consistently configured.

Use parameter template from similar machine if available

Perform comprehensive axis commissioning

Execute complete axis setup procedure including homing, limit testing, and coordinate verification.

Follow proper commissioning sequence to prevent damage

Check TNC software version compatibility

Verify current software version against parameter structure requirements and machine compatibility.

Document software version before and after any updates

Update parameter format if required

Convert axis parameters to current software version format using TNC conversion utilities.

Create backup before parameter format conversion

Reconfigure axis parameters for current version

Manually reconfigure axis direction parameters according to current TNC software parameter structure.

Consult software release notes for parameter changes

Validate system compatibility

Perform complete system validation to ensure all parameters are compatible with current software version.

May require complete machine re-commissioning
