Safety
Causes and Fixes
Identify the NC block number from the alarm detail display on the HMI and locate it in the part program.
Check for duplicate addresses in the block (e.g., two X values, two F values) and remove the duplicate or split into separate blocks.
Verify that all addresses used are valid for the active G-code group (e.g., I, J, K only valid with G02/G03 circular interpolation).
Correct the NC program, reset the alarm, and test the program in single block mode.
Always backup the original program before making modifications.
