Channel block: ShopMill subroutine cannot be executed, as

Before a ShopMill subroutine can be used, it has to be tested by ShopMill. Alarm triggered by following cycle: E_HEAD.

Safety

  • Refer to Siemens documentation
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Common Causes

  • ShopMill subroutine has not been tested/validated by ShopMill before execution
  • Subroutine file is corrupted or incomplete after transfer to CNC
  • ShopMill software version mismatch between programming station and CNC control
  • Subroutine parameters or syntax do not conform to ShopMill testing requirements
  • E_HEAD cycle called with untested subroutine reference

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Verify the subroutine was properly tested and validated in ShopMill before downloading to the CNC; re-test subroutine in ShopMill if necessary and re-download
  2. 2Check ShopMill software version on programming station matches the version installed on the 840D/828D control; update if versions differ
  3. 3Inspect the subroutine file for syntax errors, missing parameters, or incomplete code segments; correct in ShopMill and re-test
  4. 4Clear the subroutine from CNC memory and perform a clean download from ShopMill to eliminate potential file corruption during transfer
  5. 5Review E_HEAD cycle call in the part program to confirm subroutine name and parameter passing are correct; adjust program logic if needed
