Causes and Fixes
Check automatic test configuration
Navigate to HMI > Commissioning > Drive > Servo and verify MD30200 AUTOMATIC_TEST_ENABLE parameter status.
This parameter is often enabled by default in newer SINUMERIK versions
Monitor test progress
Observe the servo test sequence in the diagnostic buffer and wait for completion or error messages.
Do not interrupt the test sequence as this may cause servo parameter corruption
Verify test results
Check HMI > Diagnostics > Service > Drive test results for any failed servo axes or parameter deviations.
