Causes and Fixes
- 1
Check machine data MD20110 $MC_AXCONF_MACHAX_USED and MD20070 $MC_AXCONF_GEOAX_NAME_TAB to verify channel and mode group axis assignments are correct.
- 2
Verify machine data MD20100 $MC_AXCONF_CHANAX_NAME_TAB to ensure the channel has proper axis configuration for the intended mode.
- 3
Review machine data MD20150 $MC_AXCONF_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB to confirm geometry axis assignments match the mode group requirements.
- 4
Perform a power cycle (soft reset) after verifying or correcting machine data settings.
Back up all machine data before making any changes. Incorrect axis assignments can cause machine malfunction.
