Siemens 840D 104233 - Load point not found

Load point not found

Siemens SINUMERIK alarm 104233: Load point not found. This alarm indicates an error condition in the NC program or control configuration that must be resolved before the operation can continue.

Root Cause Summary

Alarm 104233 occurs when the control system cannot locate a specified load point during program execution or after an interrupt/power failure. This typically happens when attempting to resume program execution from a saved position, but the control cannot find the corresponding program block or position. The issue is usually related to program modifications, incorrect restart procedures, or corrupted program data.

Safety

  • Refer to Siemens documentation
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Check if the NC program was modified since the last interruption using the file timestamp or version history in the program manager.

  2. 2

    If program was modified, perform a complete program reset by pressing RESET and then execute a controlled restart from the beginning or a known safe position.

    Do not attempt to resume from the saved load point if program structure has changed.

  3. 3

    Restore the original program version from backup if the modification was unintentional and the previous state needs to be recovered.

  4. 4

    Re-execute the program from the start or use the repositioning function to manually approach the desired starting position.

    Verify tool and workpiece position before restarting to prevent collisions.
