Siemens 840D 25031 - Axis actual velocity warning limit

Axis actual velocity warning limit

Siemens SINUMERIK 840D alarm 25031 indicates the actual axis velocity has exceeded the warning limit. The axis is approaching its maximum safe velocity. This is a warning, not a fault stop, but it indicates the axis is running at the edge of its velocity specification.

Root Cause Summary

Alarm 25031 fires when the actual velocity of the specified axis exceeds 80% of the velocity warning limit threshold defined in machine data. This is a preventive warning that indicates the axis is approaching its maximum allowable speed, which may result from aggressive feedrate programming, incorrect machine data configuration, or servo loop instability.

Safety

  • Refer to Siemens documentation
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Review the active NC program block where alarm occurs. Check F-word value and compare against machine limits using Diagnostics > Actual Values menu to view current axis velocity.

  2. 2

    Access machine data MD 36100 (Max. feedrate axis) in NCK > Machine Data > Axis-Specific > Velocity & Acceleration. Verify this value matches machine mechanical limits and servo specifications.

    Do not increase MD 36100 without validating servo loop bandwidth and mechanical load capacity.

  3. 3

    Reduce programmed feedrate in NC program or adjust MD 32000 (Max. feedrate general) to appropriate value. Test with reduced F-word values in single-block mode.
