Safety
Causes and Fixes
Check Machine Enable Relay Status
Navigate to MOD function → Machine Parameters → MP7300.x series to verify enable relay status and check physical relay K1 in electrical cabinet.
Ensure main power is locked out before checking relay contacts
Verify Enable Chain Continuity
Use multimeter to check continuity through complete enable chain from TNC to servo drives, including all safety relays in series.
Check MP7310.0 (Machine ON input) parameter assignment matches actual hardware wiring
Test Relay Coil Voltage
Measure 24VDC supply to enable relay coil and verify proper switching voltage levels at relay contacts.
Intermittent voltage drops often cause this alarm during high current draw operations
