Access HSCI Configuration Parameters

Navigate to MOD > Machine Parameters > enter password > search for MP72xx series parameters related to HSCI device configuration.

Use the parameter search function with 'HSCI' keyword to quickly locate relevant parameters

Compare Physical vs Configured Devices

Check the alarm message for device types and serial numbers, then verify MP7200.x parameters match the actual HSCI device installation sequence.

Document original parameter values before making changes

Correct Device Type Parameters

Modify the appropriate MP72xx parameters to match the physical HSCI device arrangement, ensuring device types correspond to correct HSCI addresses.

Cross-reference device serial numbers from alarm message with physical device labels

Restart Control and Verify

Perform a complete TNC restart (Ctrl+Alt+Del) to reinitialize HSCI communication and verify alarm clears during startup sequence.

Power Down System Safely

Execute proper TNC shutdown sequence via MOD > System Shutdown, then turn off main power and wait for complete power-down.

Never disconnect HSCI cables with power on - this can damage devices

Trace HSCI Cable Routing

Follow the HSCI daisy-chain from TNC control through each device, documenting current cable connections and device serial numbers.

Take photos of cable connections before disconnecting for reference

Verify Device Installation Sequence

Check machine documentation for correct HSCI device order and compare with alarm message showing expected vs actual device positions.

HSCI address assignment follows physical cable sequence from TNC outward

Reconnect Cables in Correct Sequence

Reconnect HSCI cables to match the configured device sequence, ensuring proper daisy-chain topology and secure connections.

Check Hardware Option Parameters

Navigate to MOD > Machine Parameters and review MP100-MP199 series parameters that define installed hardware options and HSCI components.

Look specifically for encoder, spindle, and axis-related option parameters

Verify Against Physical Installation

Compare enabled hardware options with actual installed HSCI devices, noting any discrepancies in device types or quantities.

Incorrect option settings can cause multiple communication alarms

Update Option Configuration

Modify hardware option parameters to accurately reflect the installed HSCI device configuration, ensuring all devices are properly enabled.

Consult machine manufacturer documentation for correct option parameter settings

Perform System Reinitialization

Execute a complete TNC restart to reload hardware configuration and verify proper HSCI device recognition.

Review HSCI Address Parameters

Check MP7200.x through MP7299.x parameters for duplicate or conflicting HSCI address assignments across all configured devices.

Create a spreadsheet listing all HSCI addresses to easily spot duplicates

Verify Address Uniqueness

Ensure each HSCI device has a unique address assignment and addresses follow sequential order matching physical cable connections.

Address conflicts can cause intermittent communication errors

Reassign Conflicting Addresses

Modify machine parameters to assign unique, sequential HSCI addresses starting from address 0 and following the physical device chain.

Leave gaps in address sequence for future device additions
