Siemens 840D 14290 - Channel block polynominal degree greater than 5 programmed

Channel block polynominal degree greater than 5 programmed

A polynominal degree greater than five was programmed for the polynominal interpolation. You can only program polynomials up to the 5th degree.

Safety

  • Refer to Siemens documentation
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Common Causes

  • Programmer specified polynomial degree > 5 in POLY interpolation command
  • Incorrect syntax or parameter value in G-code polynomial definition
  • CAM post-processor configured for unsupported polynomial order
  • Manual G-code entry error when defining spline or polynomial path
  • Misunderstanding of POLY command limitations in 840D/828D control

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Locate the referenced block number in the NC program and identify the POLY command with the excessive degree parameter
  2. 2Verify the polynomial degree value - reduce any degree specification greater than 5 to a maximum of 5th degree polynomial
  3. 3Review the CAM post-processor settings if using automated code generation, and reconfigure to output polynomial degrees within the 5th degree limit
  4. 4Check Siemens 840D/828D programming manual for correct POLY syntax and degree parameter constraints
  5. 5Regenerate or manually correct the G-code, then reload and retest the program
