Siemens 840D 101153 - Erroneous HMI NCK communication

Alarm 101153 indicates a communication error between the HMI (Human Machine Interface) and the NCK (Numerical Control Kernel) during start-up or configuration operations. The NCK or drive has returned an unspecific error response to an HMI function call, typically during controller optimization or parameter calculation routines.

Safety

  • Refer to Siemens documentation
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Note the hexadecimal error class and error code values (%1 %2) displayed in the alarm message and document them.

  2. 2

    Navigate to HMI Commissioning → Diagnostics → Service Display to view detailed NCK error buffer and identify specific parameter conflicts.

  3. 3

    Review recently modified machine data (MD) and axis-specific settings in start-up area, checking for value range violations or incompatible parameter combinations.

    Always backup machine data before making modifications

  4. 4

    Correct invalid machine data parameters, perform a power cycle (NCK reset), and retry the controller optimization function.
