HEIDENHAIN 235-009B - Wrong device in the HSCI chain

Wrong device in the HSCI chain

A device at the specified HSCI address does not match the configuration. The installed hardware differs from what was configured.

Root Cause Summary

HEIDENHAIN alarm 235-009B occurs when the TNC control detects a device type mismatch in the HSCI (High Speed Control Interface) chain. The configured device type in the control's hardware configuration does not match the actual physical device connected at the specified HSCI address.

Safety

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

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Access MOD function configuration

    Press MOD key, select 'Hardware configuration' from the menu, then navigate to HSCI device configuration section.

    Always backup current configuration before making changes using the data backup function.

  2. 2

    Verify HSCI device settings

    Check the configured device type at the HSCI address shown in alarm parameter %3. Compare with the actual hardware device type from parameter %2.

    Do not modify HSCI addresses while the control is running or devices are active.

  3. 3

    Correct device configuration

    Update the device type configuration to match the actual hardware. Select the correct device from the available HSCI device list.

    Use the 'Auto-detect' function if available to automatically identify connected HSCI devices.

  4. 4

    Restart control system

    Perform a complete control restart to reinitialize the HSCI chain with the corrected configuration.

    Ensure all programs are saved and machine is in safe position before restart.
