HEIDENHAIN 235-00A2 - Falscher Umrichter an HSCI-Gerät

Falscher Umrichter an HSCI-Gerät

In an HSCI device, inverters do not match the configuration. The connected inverters differ from the projected setup.

Root Cause Summary

HEIDENHAIN alarm 235-00A2 occurs when the actual inverter/drive hardware connected to an HSCI device does not match the configured drive type in the TNC control's hardware configuration. This mismatch between the projected configuration and actual hardware prevents proper HSCI communication.

Safety

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

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Access Hardware Configuration

    Navigate to MOD function → Hardware Configuration → Drive Configuration to view current OPT settings for HSCI devices.

    Document current settings before making changes for rollback purposes

  2. 2

    Verify HSCI Address Configuration

    Check the HSCI address %3 shown in alarm and confirm the configured drive type matches the physical hardware serial number %5.

    Ensure machine is in safe state before modifying hardware configuration

  3. 3

    Correct Drive Type Setting

    Modify the drive configuration option to match the actual inverter hardware type and port assignment shown in alarm parameter %2.

  4. 4

    Restart Control System

    Perform a complete TNC restart to reinitialize HSCI communication with corrected hardware configuration.

DIY Feasiblehigh confidence

Call a technician if:

  • ·Hardware configuration restoration fails
  • ·Physical drive replacement required
  • ·Multiple HSCI devices showing similar alarms

Prevention

  • Document all hardware changes in TNC configuration
  • Verify drive compatibility before replacement
  • Maintain backup of working hardware configuration
  • Use proper HSCI addressing procedures

Common Mistakes

  • Replacing drives without updating TNC configuration
  • Ignoring serial number verification
  • Modifying HSCI parameters without documentation
  • Assuming drive compatibility based on physical appearance only
