HEIDENHAIN 231-9460 - 9460 Configuration of LIFTOFF is not possible
HEIDENHAIN alarm 231-9460 occurs when the spindle LIFTOFF configuration cannot be properly set due to invalid DC voltage parameters in the power supply configuration. This typically results from incorrect entries in the DC link voltage monitoring parameters or power supply limit settings that are outside acceptable ranges for the spindle drive system.

9460 Configuration of LIFTOFF is not possible
This TNC 640 error indicates invalid machine parameter settings. The control has detected configuration data that does not match the hardware setup.
Root Cause Summary
HEIDENHAIN alarm 231-9460 occurs when the spindle LIFTOFF configuration cannot be properly set due to invalid DC voltage parameters in the power supply configuration. This typically results from incorrect entries in the DC link voltage monitoring parameters or power supply limit settings that are outside acceptable ranges for the spindle drive system.
Safety
Causes and Fixes
Access Spindle Parameters
Navigate to MOD function → Machine Parameters → Spindle Parameters → Power Supply section to locate PowSupplyLimitOfDcVoltage parameter.
Use parameter search function (CTRL+F) to quickly locate power supply parameters
Verify Voltage Range
Check that PowSupplyLimitOfDcVoltage value is within manufacturer specifications (typically 300-800V depending on spindle drive model).
Never exceed maximum voltage ratings specified in spindle drive documentation
Correct Parameter Value
Set PowSupplyLimitOfDcVoltage to appropriate value based on spindle drive specifications and perform parameter reset.
Document original values before making changes for rollback capability
Test LIFTOFF Configuration
Attempt to reconfigure LIFTOFF function through spindle setup menu to verify parameter acceptance.
Ensure spindle is at complete stop before testing LIFTOFF configuration
