Safety
Causes and Fixes
Access machine parameter menu
Press MOD key, select 'Machine parameters' from the TNC menu, navigate to spindle parameters section (MP7300 series).
Always backup current parameters before making changes using the data backup function.
Verify spindle type parameter MP7300
Check MP7300.x value matches actual spindle type: 0=no spindle, 1=servo spindle, 2=frequency converter spindle, 3=positioning spindle.
Incorrect spindle type setting can damage spindle drive components.
Validate related spindle parameters
Check MP7310 (max spindle speed), MP7320 (spindle gear ratios), and MP7330 (spindle acceleration) for consistency with spindle specifications.
Restart control system
Perform controlled shutdown and restart of TNC control to activate new parameter settings.
Ensure all axes are in safe position before restart.
