MC safety doors are open

A PLC configuration or communication error has been detected. This affects the interaction between the control and the PLC system.

Root Cause Summary

HEIDENHAIN alarm 330-005B occurs when the TNC control detects open safety guard doors during axis safety self-test or brake test procedures. The SPLC (Safety PLC) interface prevents axis operations when PP_AxGrpStateReq signal is not in S_STATE_AUTO[10] state due to open door conditions.
