Siemens 10778 - Block preprocessing stop with active tool radius compensation

If a preprocessing stop is detected with active tool radius compensation (either programmed by the user or generated internally) and the SD42480 $SC_STOP_CUTCOM_STOPRE is set, then this warning is issued because in this situation machine movements which were not intended by the user can occur (termination of radius compensation and new approach) Control reaction: Alarm display. NC Stop on alarm at block end.

Block preprocessing stop with active tool radius compensation

If a preprocessing stop is detected with active tool radius compensation (either programmed by the user or generated internally) and the SD42480 $SC_STOP_CUTCOM_STOPRE is set, then this warning is issued because in this situation machine movements which were not intended by the user can occur (termination of radius compensation and new approach) Control reaction: Alarm display. NC Stop on alarm at block end.

Safety

  • Only qualified personnel should diagnose and clear control alarms; follow the machine builder's safety procedures and lockout/tagout where hardware work is required.

Common Causes

  • If a preprocessing stop is detected with active tool radius compensation (either programmed by the user or generated internally) and the SD42480 $SC_STOP_CUTCOM_STOPRE is set, then this warning is issued because in this situation machine movements which were not intended by the user can occur (termination of radius compensation and new approach)

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Continue machining with CANCEL and Start.
  2. 2Modify part program.
  3. 3Set SD42480 $SC_STOP_CUTCOM_STOPRE to FALSE.
  4. 4Clear alarm with the Delete key or NC START
