HEIDENHAIN 230-01C0 - Analog output of axis was assigned twice

Analog output of axis was assigned twice

The analog output for this axis has been assigned to multiple axes simultaneously. When two or more axes attempt to use the same analog output channel at once, a conflict occurs that prevents proper operation.

Root Cause Summary

Alarm 230-01C0 occurs when multiple axes are configured to use the same analog output channel in the machine parameters. This creates a conflict where two or more axes attempt to simultaneously control the same analog output, typically due to incorrect parameter assignments in MP720 or duplicate axis configurations.

Safety

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

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Access machine parameters

    Press MOD key, select 'Machine Parameters' from the operating mode menu, enter password if required.

    Always backup current parameters before making changes using the data backup function.

  2. 2

    Check MP720 assignments

    Navigate to MP720 'Analog output for axis' and verify each axis has a unique analog output number assigned. Look for duplicate values across all configured axes.

    Document current settings before making changes as incorrect assignments can cause servo instability.

  3. 3

    Correct duplicate assignments

    Assign unique analog output numbers to each axis in MP720, ensuring no two axes share the same output channel number.

    Use sequential numbering starting from 0 for cleaner organization.

  4. 4

    Restart control and test

    Perform a control restart (Ctrl+Alt+Del) to activate new parameter settings, then test axis movement to verify proper operation.

DIY Feasiblehigh confidence

Call a technician if:

  • ·Parameter restoration fails to resolve alarm
  • ·Physical servo interface hardware damage suspected
  • ·Multiple related servo alarms persist after parameter correction

Prevention

  • Always backup parameters before system modifications
  • Use systematic numbering for analog output assignments
  • Document axis configuration changes in machine logbook
  • Verify parameter integrity after software updates

Common Mistakes

  • Copying axis parameters without updating analog output numbers
  • Assuming analog output assignments match axis numbers
  • Not verifying hardware connections after parameter changes
  • Skipping control restart after parameter modifications
