HEIDENHAIN 230-001D - Control loop of axis was opened

Control loop of axis was opened

The position control loop was deliberately opened, most likely for axis optimization with TNCopt. This is a service mode and not an error condition.

Root Cause Summary

Alarm 230-001D occurs when the position control loop is intentionally opened during axis optimization procedures or when TNCopt is running. This is typically an informational alarm indicating the servo loop has been disabled for tuning purposes.

Safety

  • Refer to Heidenhain service manual
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Check TNCopt status

    Access MOD function and verify if TNCopt optimization is currently running in the background.

    TNCopt typically runs during machine idle time - check the optimization schedule

  2. 2

    Monitor optimization progress

    Navigate to Machine Parameters MP7500-MP7599 range to view current TNCopt status and completion percentage.

    Do not interrupt TNCopt process as this can corrupt servo tuning parameters

  3. 3

    Wait for completion

    Allow TNCopt to complete its cycle. The alarm will clear automatically when optimization finishes and control loop closes.

    Optimization time varies by axis complexity, typically 15-45 minutes per axis

DIY Feasiblehigh confidence

Call a technician if:

  • ·Control loop remains open after optimization completion
  • ·Servo parameters require modification
  • ·Encoder calibration fails repeatedly

Prevention

  • Schedule TNCopt during planned maintenance windows
  • Monitor servo parameter changes carefully
  • Maintain proper encoder cable connections

Common Mistakes

  • Interrupting TNCopt optimization process
  • Manually closing loop during active calibration
  • Modifying servo parameters without understanding consequences
