Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Allow the tool loading process to complete without interruption. Monitor the HMI for process completion or any subsequent error messages.

  2. 2

    Verify on the HMI that tool data is being transferred by checking the tool management screen (Tool List or Tool Management menu).

  3. 3

    Wait for the message to clear automatically once the tool load operation completes successfully.

  4. 4

    If the message persists beyond expected duration (typically 30-60 seconds), check for communication issues between PLC and NCK or tool management system.

    Do not reset or power cycle the control while tool loading is in progress as this may corrupt tool data
