Safety
Causes and Fixes
Access Machine Parameters
Press MOD key, select 'Machine Parameters' from setup menu, navigate to MP1420 ACCELERATION section.
Use search function in parameter list by typing '1420' for quick access
Check Axis Acceleration Values
Verify MP1420.x (where x = axis number) shows valid acceleration values in mm/s² or inch/s². Zero or blank values trigger this alarm.
Record original values before making changes for rollback capability
Set Appropriate Acceleration
Enter manufacturer-specified acceleration values typically 1000-5000 mm/s² for linear axes, 10000-50000 deg/s² for rotary axes.
Start with conservative values and optimize later during commissioning
Save and Restart
Save parameters with CTRL+S, perform controlled restart via MOD > Reset > Controller restart to activate new settings.
