Siemens 840D 61336 - Channel Block: Geometry axes do not exist

Channel Block: Geometry axes do not exist

No geometry axes configured. Alarm can be triggered by following measuring cycles: all measuring cycles. Remedy: Machine data in MD 20060 must be changed.

Safety

  • Refer to Siemens documentation
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Common Causes

  • Geometry axes not defined in machine data MD 20060
  • Incorrect or missing axis assignment in geometry configuration
  • Machine data corrupted or reset to factory defaults
  • Measuring cycle called without proper axis configuration
  • NC program references geometry axes that do not exist in current setup

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Verify MD 20060 geometry axis configuration is properly set; access machine data parameters and confirm geometry axes are defined for the current channel
  2. 2Check NC program to confirm measuring cycle syntax and axis references match configured geometry axes in machine data
  3. 3Review machine data backup or documentation to restore correct MD 20060 values if configuration was inadvertently modified
  4. 4If using measuring cycles, ensure all required geometry axes are configured before cycle execution; refer to measuring cycle requirements in program comments
  5. 5Perform machine data validation and consistency check through Siemens diagnostic functions to identify configuration conflicts
