HEIDENHAIN 231-E01A - E01A CC FS configuration error ERR-ID= ObjId= Param=

E01A CC FS configuration error ERR-ID= ObjId= Param=

The configuration data transferred to the SKERN safety kernel are faulty. The ERR-ID in the error text identifies the specific machine parameter or value at fault, such as an out-of-range axis group, a spindle count that is too high, or an invalid pwmSignalOutput entry.

Root Cause Summary

This alarm indicates the TNC control cannot establish a valid FSoE safety communication link with the CC module due to configuration data incompatibility or corruption. The ERR-ID and ObjId parameters point to the specific safety object or parameter that failed validation during the FS system initialization sequence. Resolution requires synchronizing the configuration data between TNC and CC module or correcting the specific parameter identified in the alarm.

Safety

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

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Access Safety Configuration Menu

    Press MOD key, navigate to System Configuration > Safety > FS Configuration. Check the status display for CC%2 (second communication controller) - note any red indicators or error messages.

    The %2 in the alarm indicates the second CC in a multi-CC system - verify you're checking the correct module if multiple CCs are installed.

  2. 2

    Verify Configuration Status

    In the FS Configuration menu, check the 'Configuration Status' field. If it shows 'Invalid' or 'Incomplete', the configuration file is corrupted or doesn't match the hardware.

    Do not attempt to operate the machine in any mode if safety configuration shows as invalid.

  3. 3

    Download Configuration to CC Module

    Select the CC%2 entry and choose 'Download Configuration' to transfer the TNC's FS configuration to the CC module. This synchronizes the safety parameters and resolves most configuration mismatches.

    After download, a control restart is typically required. The CC module will validate the configuration during boot sequence.

  4. 4

    Restore from Backup if Download Fails

    If download fails or alarm persists, restore the complete FS configuration from a known-good backup. Navigate to MOD > System Configuration > Safety > Restore Configuration and select a backup file from TNC:\system\fs_backup\.

    Only restore configurations that match your exact machine configuration and safety circuit design.

Service Recommendedmedium confidence

Call a technician if:

  • ·SKERN safety configuration changes required
  • ·Safety system validation needed
  • ·Encoder hardware replacement necessary

Prevention

  • Always verify encoder safety capabilities before configuring safety axes
  • Document safety system architecture during commissioning
  • Regular verification of SKERN configuration integrity

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming all EnDat 2.2 encoders support safety bits
  • Configuring safety axes without proper encoder validation
  • Mixing safety and non-safety configurations without proper SKERN setup
