Siemens 20059 - Axis already active due to

The axis (machine axis, geometry axis or orientation axis) is to be traversed in operation mode "Automatic&Jog" (see MD10735 $MN_JOG_MODE_MASK) by using the direction keys or a handwheel. This is not possible, as (see parameter 3): 1. the axis is active as a rotating spindle 2. the axis is a PLC axis 3. the axis is active as an asynchronous reciprocating axis 4. the axis is active as a command axis 5. the axis is active as a slave axis 6. a frame applies for a rotated coordinate system and an axis involved in the required JOG movement of the geometry axis is not available for this 7. an axis container rotation is activated via NCU link Note: This alarm identifies an axis not capable of JOG which received a JOG order. In this case, the NCK will not proceed according to "Internal JOG" Control reaction: Alarm display.

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

  • The axis (machine axis, geometry axis or orientation axis) is to be traversed in operation mode "Automatic&Jog" (see MD10735 $MN_JOG_MODE_MASK) by using the direction keys or a handwheel.
  • This is not possible, as (see parameter 3): 1. the axis is active as a rotating spindle 2. the axis is a PLC axis 3. the axis is active as an asynchronous reciprocating axis 4. the axis is active as a command axis 5. the axis is active as a slave axis 6. a frame applies for a rotated coordinate system and an axis involved in the required JOG movement of the geometry axis is not available for this 7. an axis container rotation is activated via NCU link Note: This alarm identifies an axis not capable of JOG which received a JOG order.
  • In this case, the NCK will not proceed according to "Internal JOG"

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Wait for the axis to traverse or abort with distance-to-go delete or RESET.
  2. 2Clear alarm with the Delete key or NC START. Continuation: Alarms
