Siemens 840D 61519 - Channel block: Incorrect type of machining

Channel block: Incorrect type of machining

The alarm can be triggered by the following grinding cycles: CYCLE410, CYCLE411, CYCLE412, CYCLE413, CYCLE415 Remedy: Assign a value between 1 and 3 to parameter B_ART

Safety

  • Refer to Siemens documentation
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Common Causes

  • Parameter B_ART not assigned or set to an invalid value outside the range 1-3
  • Grinding cycle (CYCLE410, CYCLE411, CYCLE412, CYCLE413, or CYCLE415) called with incorrect machining type specification
  • Part program syntax error in cycle call with missing or malformed B_ART argument
  • Incorrect machine configuration or grinding cycle setup not compatible with selected B_ART value

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Review the part program block at the specified location and verify the grinding cycle call (CYCLE410-415) includes parameter B_ART with a value of 1, 2, or 3
  2. 2Check machine documentation to confirm which B_ART values (1, 2, or 3) correspond to the required grinding operation type
  3. 3Edit the part program to assign the correct B_ART value explicitly in the cycle call; example: CYCLE410(...B_ART=2...)
  4. 4Verify machine grinding cycle parameters and configuration match the part program requirements; contact Siemens support if cycle definitions are non-standard
  5. 5Reload and re-execute the corrected part program block to confirm the alarm clears
