Access Machine Data

Navigate to HMI → Commissioning → Machine → Machine Data → Channel-specific → Transformations and locate MD24100 TRACYL_RADIUS_CYLINDER.

Use filter function in machine data editor to quickly find TRACYL parameters

Verify Radius Value

Check that MD24100 contains a positive non-zero value matching your actual cylinder radius in machine units (mm or inches).

Incorrect radius values can cause collision or dimensional errors

Validate Range Limits

Ensure radius value is within system limits defined by MD24110 (TRACYL_RADIUS_LIMIT_LOWER) and MD24111 (TRACYL_RADIUS_LIMIT_UPPER).

Reset and Test

Execute machine data reset (RESET 840D) and test TRACYL activation with G331 command in MDI mode.

Check Axis Assignment

Verify MD24000 (TRACYL_AXIS_ASSIGN_TAB_1), MD24001 (TRACYL_AXIS_ASSIGN_TAB_2), and MD24002 (TRACYL_AXIS_ASSIGN_TAB_3) contain valid machine axis numbers.

Axis numbers must correspond to actual configured machine axes in MD10000

Validate Rotary Axis Configuration

Ensure the assigned rotary axis in TRACYL configuration has proper machine data MD30300 (IS_ROT_AX) set to TRUE.

Check Axis Availability

Confirm assigned axes are not currently used by other active transformations (TRANSMIT, TRAORI) by checking transformation status in channel diagnostics.

Verify Geometric Relationships

Validate that linear axes assignments correspond to tangential and normal directions relative to cylinder surface geometry.

Check Active Transformations

In HMI Diagnostics → NCK → Channel State, verify no conflicting transformations (TRAORI, TRANSMIT) are active before TRACYL activation.

Multiple simultaneous transformations can cause unpredictable machine behavior

Verify Modal Conditions

Ensure G331 (TRACYL ON) is not programmed with incompatible G-codes like G17/G18/G19 plane selection that conflicts with cylinder orientation.

Check Workpiece Coordinate System

Verify active work offset (G54-G59) is compatible with TRACYL transformation and cylinder reference position.

Reset Transformation State

Execute G332 (TRACYL OFF) followed by channel reset, then reactivate TRACYL with proper modal conditions.

Perform MD Consistency Check

Execute machine data consistency check via HMI → Commissioning → Machine → Machine Data → Extras → Check Consistency to identify parameter conflicts.

Verify MD Activation Status

Check if modified TRACYL machine data requires NCK reset by looking for 'R' flag in machine data display indicating reset requirement.

Cross-Reference Dependent Parameters

Verify MD24120 (TRACYL_ANGLE_OFFSET) and MD24130 (TRACYL_RESET_MODE) are consistent with overall transformation configuration.

Execute Controlled Reset

Perform NCK reset via HMI → Commissioning → NCK → Reset to activate all modified machine data parameters.

NCK reset will clear all current modal states and tool offsets
