Safety
- Refer to Siemens documentation
- Ensure qualified technician performs repairs
Causes and Fixes
- 1
Navigate to the Commissioning or Start-up operating area by selecting 'Commissioning' mode from the machine control panel
Ensure machine is in a safe state with no active machining operations before switching modes
- 2
Enter the appropriate password/access level (typically level 3 or 4) to enable parameter write access
Only authorized personnel should have access to this level - incorrect parameter changes can damage the machine
- 3
Perform the required Device Parameter Reset or parameter modification as intended
- 4
After completing changes, perform a power-on reset (NCK reset) and return to normal operating mode to activate the new parameters
Verify all axis configurations and safety functions after parameter changes before resuming production
