HEIDENHAIN 330-008E - MC change from SOM_2/SOM_3 to SOM_4 not possible
HEIDENHAIN alarm 330-008E occurs when attempting to transition from SOM_2/SOM_3 to SOM_4 without first establishing SOM_1 safety mode. This safety interlock prevents unauthorized mode changes and requires proper keylock switch positioning and safety circuit validation.

Safety
Causes and Fixes
Check Keylock Switch Position
Verify keylock switch 1 is physically turned to SOM_1 position. Check machine parameter MP7500.x for keylock switch configuration.
Never force keylock switches - damaged switches can cause safety system failures
Verify SOM_1 Recognition
Access MOD function and check current SOM status display. Confirm TNC recognizes SOM_1 mode before attempting further transitions.
Use PLC status display to monitor safety input states in real-time
Execute Proper Mode Sequence
From SOM_1, transition to desired SOM_4 mode following proper sequence: SOM_1 → SOM_4 directly, avoiding intermediate SOM_2/3 states.
