HEIDENHAIN 251-0E37 - Trigger condition Signal [SAVED] not fulfilled in current trace

Trigger condition Signal [SAVED] not fulfilled in current trace

The SAVED signal state is being used without the current trace trigger condition being satisfied. Proper chronological association requires a fulfilled trigger.

Root Cause Summary

Alarm 251-0E37 occurs when the TNC control attempts to use a [SAVED] signal state in trace recording without a proper trigger condition being established. This typically happens when trace parameters are incorrectly configured or when signal monitoring conditions are not properly defined in the trace setup.

Safety

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

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Access Trace Function Setup

    Press MOD key, select 7720 TRACE, then check current trigger configuration settings.

    Always verify trigger source is available before configuring trace parameters

  2. 2

    Verify Trigger Signal Assignment

    In trace setup menu, ensure trigger signal is properly assigned to valid PLC input or NC signal source.

    Do not modify trace settings during active machining operations

  3. 3

    Reset Trace Buffer

    Clear existing trace data using CLEAR TRACE function and reconfigure trigger conditions with valid signal sources.

    Use edge-triggered conditions rather than level-triggered for more reliable trace capture

DIY Feasiblehigh confidence

Call a technician if:

  • ·Software update required
  • ·PLC program modification needed
  • ·Hardware signal issues persist

Prevention

  • Regularly clear trace buffers after diagnostics
  • Use stable PLC signals for trace triggers
  • Maintain current TNC software versions

Common Mistakes

  • Configuring trace on intermittent signals
  • Not clearing trace buffer between sessions
  • Using undefined PLC signals as triggers
