Siemens 14550 - Block contour tool: impermissible tool contour change. Code no.
A new tool with deviating tool contour was activated for contour tools on active tool radius compensation The error cause is explained further by an error code. If the error code is an integer, the lower-value three decimal places specify the number of the edge, in which the error was detected, while the thousandth digit explains the reason in more detail. -1: The tool was deleted. -2: The number of contour elements (edges) explaining the tool, has changed. 1000: The edge center has changed 2000: The edge radius has changed. 3000: The initial angle has changed. 4000: The final angle has changed Control reaction: Correction block is reorganized. Local alarm reaction. Interface signals are set. Alarm display. NC Stop on alarm at block end.
