Siemens 840D 100124 - Above number range

Above number range

Siemens SINUMERIK operator message 100124: Above number range. This is an informational message from the SINUMERIK control indicating a system status or operation result that may require operator action.

Root Cause Summary

SIEMENS alarm 100124 'Above number range' occurs when a numerical value in NC programming or parameter settings exceeds the maximum allowable range defined by the SINUMERIK system. This typically happens with coordinate values, feed rates, spindle speeds, or other numerical parameters that surpass system-defined limits.

Safety

  • Refer to Siemens documentation
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Check machine data limits

    Navigate to Commissioning > Machine Data > Axis-specific data and verify MD36100-36130 working area limits for each axis.

    Compare programmed coordinates against actual machine stroke limits in the machine manufacturer specifications

  2. 2

    Review NC program coordinates

    Examine the NC block where alarm occurred and verify X, Y, Z coordinates are within machine working envelope.

    Never modify machine data limits without consulting machine manufacturer specifications

  3. 3

    Adjust program or work offset

    Modify NC program coordinates or adjust work offset values (G54-G59) in Settings > Work Offsets to bring coordinates within valid range.

DIY Feasiblehigh confidence

Call a technician if:

  • ·Machine data modifications required
  • ·Spindle or axis hardware limits need adjustment
  • ·Persistent alarms after parameter corrections

Prevention

  • Validate NC programs against machine specifications before execution
  • Implement program header comments with coordinate and speed ranges
  • Regular review of tool management parameter entries

Common Mistakes

  • Modifying machine data limits without understanding mechanical constraints
  • Ignoring work offset accumulation in coordinate calculations
  • Using inappropriate units (mm vs inch) in programming
