Root Cause Summary

Alarm 104213 occurs when the CNC control detects an attempt to load a program or file into a memory location that already contains active data. This is typically an informational message rather than a critical error, indicating that the system is preventing overwriting of currently loaded content. The alarm protects against unintentional data loss during program management operations.
