Root Cause Summary

Alarm 104026 is an informational message indicating that a tool data loading process is currently active on the SINUMERIK 840D control.

  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Wait for the tool load operation to complete. Monitor the control display for completion message or progress indicator.

  2. 2

    Do not interrupt power or attempt to start machining operations until the message clears automatically.

    Interrupting tool data loading can corrupt the tool offset table and cause machining errors.

  3. 3

    If the message persists beyond 2-3 minutes, check the HMI for additional error messages or file transfer status indicators.

  4. 4

    Verify tool data file integrity if loading from external media. Check file size and format match SINUMERIK specifications (typically .TOA, .TMA files).
