231-E006

HEIDENHAIN 231-E006 - E006 CC input (NE2) not equal to 0

E006 CC input (NE2) not equal to 0

The dynamic test of the second emergency-stop loop failed because input NE2 did not read 0 V at the expected time. The manual points to wiring, the emergency-stop button, or the hardware itself.

Root Cause Summary

Alarm 231-E006 occurs when the second emergency-stop loop (NE2) fails its dynamic safety test by maintaining 24V instead of dropping to 0V within 1.5 minutes. This indicates a fault in the emergency-stop circuit monitoring or the safety relay chain that prevents proper voltage switching during the TNC's automatic safety verification cycle.

Safety

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

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Access Safety Parameters

    Navigate to MOD function → Machine Parameters → Safety Parameters and check MP7300.x series for E-stop configuration settings.

    Only qualified personnel should modify safety parameters

  2. 2

    Verify Relay Operation

    Check the safety relay module in the electrical cabinet. Look for stuck contacts or relay coil failure on the NE2 circuit path.

    Use a multimeter to verify relay coil resistance - typical values are 400-2000 ohms depending on relay type

  3. 3

    Test Manual Reset

    Manually cycle the emergency-stop button and monitor if the safety relay physically switches. Replace relay if contacts remain welded closed.

    Ensure machine power is locked out before replacing safety components

Service Recommendedmedium confidence

Call a technician if:

  • ·Safety relay replacement required
  • ·TNC input card failure suspected
  • ·Parameter changes needed
  • ·Wiring modifications required

Prevention

  • Regular safety relay testing every 6 months
  • Keep electrical cabinets clean and dry
  • Document all safety parameter changes
  • Perform annual insulation resistance testing

Common Mistakes

  • Bypassing safety circuits temporarily
  • Using non-safety rated relays in E-stop circuits
  • Modifying safety parameters without proper authorization
  • Ignoring intermittent E-stop alarms
