HEIDENHAIN 231-A930 - A930 Safely limited speed (SLS) exceeded
HEIDENHAIN alarm 231-A930 occurs when the SKERN-CC safety kernel detects axis movement exceeding the configured Safely Limited Speed (SLS) threshold during safety-critical conditions. This typically happens when safety doors are opened during machining or when SLS parameters are set too restrictively for the application.
HEIDENHAIN 231-A930 - A930 Safely limited speed (SLS) exceeded
A930 Safely limited speed (SLS) exceeded
This TNC 640 error indicates an internal control fault. The issue relates to SKERN-CC detected an impermissibly fast axis movement above.
Root Cause Summary
HEIDENHAIN alarm 231-A930 occurs when the SKERN-CC safety kernel detects axis movement exceeding the configured Safely Limited Speed (SLS) threshold during safety-critical conditions. This typically happens when safety doors are opened during machining or when SLS parameters are set too restrictively for the application.
Safety
Causes and Fixes
Check safety door status
Navigate to MOD → Machine Parameters → Safety and verify door switch inputs in MP7500-MP7599 range. Check if door switches are properly wired and functioning.
Never bypass safety door switches - this violates safety regulations
Verify SLS speed settings
Check MP7650-MP7659 (SLS speed limits) and ensure they are appropriate for your application. Compare against actual axis speeds when door was opened.
Set SLS speeds 20-30% higher than typical door-open operations but low enough for safety
Test door interlock sequence
Perform controlled test by opening door during slow jog movement to verify SLS activation timing and speed monitoring.
Use extremely slow speeds during testing
