What causes Siemens SINUMERIK alarm 14210?

Polar angle value programmed under AP parameter exceeds the -360 to +360 degree range. Decimal point error or unit conversion mistake in AP angle specification. Accumulated angle values from multiple blocks causing cumulative overflow. Incorrect polar coordinate syntax or parameter format in G-code block.

How do I fix Siemens SINUMERIK alarm 14210?

1. Review the G-code block at the reported line number and verify the AP parameter value is within -360 to +360 degrees 2. Check for decimal point errors or unit mismatches; confirm angle resolution does not exceed 0.001 degree precision 3. If using incremental polar coordinates, verify that accumulated angle values across sequential blocks remain within valid range 4. Correct the AP value by normalizing angles (e.g., converting 450 degrees to 90 degrees) or breaking multi-rotation moves into separate blocks 5. Resubmit the corrected program and verify alarm clears during block parsing

Alarm 14210

Siemens 840D 14210 - Channel block polar angle too large

In specifying the endpoints in a traversing block with G00, G01, G02 or G03 in polar coordinates, the value range of the polar angle programmed under the keyword AP=. has been exceeded. It covers the range from -360 to +360 degrees with a resolution of 0.001 degrees. Definition of terms: - Specifi

Troubleshooting Steps

1Review the G-code block at the reported line number and verify the AP parameter value is within -360 to +360 degrees
2Check for decimal point errors or unit mismatches; confirm angle resolution does not exceed 0.001 degree precision
3If using incremental polar coordinates, verify that accumulated angle values across sequential blocks remain within valid range
4Correct the AP value by normalizing angles (e.g., converting 450 degrees to 90 degrees) or breaking multi-rotation moves into separate blocks
5Resubmit the corrected program and verify alarm clears during block parsing
