Channel block: No 'Rotary axes direct' swivel mode possible -->

Alarm triggered by following cycle: CYCLE800. Remedy: = A -> No tool or cutting edge (D1.) active

Safety

  • Refer to Siemens documentation
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Common Causes

  • No tool or cutting edge (D1..) currently active when CYCLE800 executes rotary axis swivel
  • Tool offset or tool length compensation not initialized before cycle call
  • Incorrect tool table entry or missing D-number assignment in part program
  • Rotary axis configuration or swivel mode parameters not properly enabled in machine data

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Verify a valid tool with active D-number (e.g., D1, D2) is selected before CYCLE800 call; add T and D commands in sequence if missing
  2. 2Check tool offset table entries for the selected tool; ensure cutting edge data is populated and not zeroed out
  3. 3Review CYCLE800 call syntax and parameter %4 value; confirm %4 is set to a valid tool geometry or adjust machine data swivel mode permissions
  4. 4Inspect machine data settings for rotary axis swivel capability; verify axis is configured as swivel-capable and not in restricted mode
  5. 5Reset tool offset, reload part program, and execute cycle in single-block mode to isolate the failure point
