Alarm 101167

Siemens 840D 101167 - MDx134/MDx400

Alarm 101167 indicates a conflict or incompatibility between machine data parameter MD134 (transformations/kinematic settings) and MD400 (compensation/offset settings). This typically occurs when kinematic transformation types are enabled or modified without proper coordination with the compensation data, or when attempting to use incompatible combinations of transformation and offset functions.

Root Cause Summary

Alarm 101167 indicates a conflict or incompatibility between machine data parameter MD134 (transformations/kinematic settings) and MD400 (compensation/offset settings). This typically occurs when kinematic transformation types are enabled or modified without proper coordination with the compensation data, or when attempting to use incompatible combinations of transformation and offset functions.

Safety

  • Refer to Siemens documentation
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Access machine data and check MD24100 $MC_TRAFO_TYPE_n for all relevant channels to identify active transformation types (0=none, 256=5-axis, 512=Transmit, etc.).

  2. 2

    Review MD400-series parameters including MD18600-18609 (tool offset types) and verify compatibility with the active transformation type per Siemens documentation.

  3. 3

    If transformation type 256 or higher is active, ensure MD18600 $MN_MM_NUM_TOOL_CARRIER and related tool carrier settings are properly configured for kinematic chain.

    Changing transformation settings requires power cycle and may affect existing programs

  4. 4

    Correct the incompatible parameter, perform a complete power cycle (not just NCK reset), and verify alarm clears during startup.
