Siemens 840D 25060 - Axis speed setpoint limitation

Axis speed setpoint limitation

Siemens SINUMERIK 840D alarm 25060: Axis speed setpoint limitation. This alarm indicates a fault condition on the axis servo drive or feedback system. The axis cannot be safely operated until this fault is resolved.

Root Cause Summary

Alarm 25060 fires when the commanded speed setpoint exceeds the axis control output limitation (MD 36210 CTRLOUT_LIMIT) for an extended duration. This machine data parameter caps the maximum permissible speed as a percentage of rated motor speed, and sustained violation triggers this servo alarm to protect the drive system from over-speed conditions.

Safety

  • Refer to Siemens documentation
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Access Siemens HMI or Service menu and navigate to Diagnosis > Parameters > Machine Data (MD). Locate axis-specific MD 36210 CTRLOUT_LIMIT.

    Do not modify while machine is running or axes are in motion.

  2. 2

    Compare current MD 36210 value against the maximum required speed from your NC program (typically G0 rapid or G1 feed rate commands). Verify against motor nameplate rated speed and control system specifications.

  3. 3

    If MD 36210 value is below 100%, increase incrementally to 100% (or per machine builder specification). Save changes and perform warm restart (Ctrl+Shift+F5 or Menu > System > Restart).

    Verify thermal and mechanical load limits before setting to 100%.

  4. 4

    Re-run the NC program that triggered the alarm and monitor axis actual speed vs. setpoint via Diagnosis > Signals > Actual Velocity display.
