Safety
Causes and Fixes
Identify the exact block number where the alarm occurred from the alarm display or diagnostic buffer.
Review the NC program block for commands with multiple parameters (TRANS, ROT, SCALE, FRAME commands, or multi-axis movements) and verify the number of values matches the configured number of axes.
Check machine data MD20070 $MC_AXCONF_MACHAX_USED to verify the number of active machine axes configured in the channel.
Correct the program block to include the proper number of values corresponding to all configured axes, or remove excess values.
