HEIDENHAIN 230-01CD - Incorrect connector assignment of the axis

Incorrect connector assignment of the axis

The axis has an invalid connector assignment between the speed encoder input and PWM output. On CC 424 or CC 61xx controllers, these connections have fixed pairings that must be followed.

Root Cause Summary

Alarm 230-01CD occurs when the speed encoder input and PWM output connector assignments in the CC 424/CC 61xx control card parameters don't match the required fixed pairing. The TNC system enforces specific X-connector combinations where each speed encoder input must be paired with its corresponding PWM output.

Safety

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

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Access machine parameters

    Navigate to MOD > Machine Parameters > Axis-specific parameters for the affected axis shown in %2.

    Use PLC > Info > Axis assignment to verify which physical axis corresponds to %2

  2. 2

    Check speedEncoderInput parameter

    Locate MP7500 speedEncoderInput parameter and verify the assigned X-connector matches the required pairing (X15-X51, X16-X52, etc.).

    Document current settings before making changes

  3. 3

    Correct connector assignment

    Change speedEncoderInput to match the corresponding pwmSignalOutput connector using the fixed pairing table.

    Cross-reference with electrical drawings to ensure physical wiring matches parameter settings

  4. 4

    Restart control

    Perform a complete TNC restart to activate the new parameter settings and clear the alarm.

    Ensure all programs are saved before restart

DIY Feasiblehigh confidence

Call a technician if:

  • ·Parameter corruption persists after restoration
  • ·Physical wiring doesn't match any valid connector pairing
  • ·CC control card hardware failure suspected

Prevention

  • Always backup machine parameters before TNC software updates
  • Verify connector assignments match CC control card specifications during installation
  • Use parameter comparison tools when upgrading hardware

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming connector assignments are flexible rather than fixed pairs
  • Not restarting TNC after parameter changes
  • Modifying only one parameter without checking the corresponding pair
