Siemens 840D 62307 - Channel block: Maximum number of characters per line

Channel block: Maximum number of characters per line

The alarm is triggerd by the following cycles: CYCLE105 Insufficient number of characters per line. Remedy: Increase the value in _PROTFORM[1]

Safety

  • Refer to Siemens documentation
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Common Causes

  • NC program line exceeds character limit defined in _PROTFORM[1] parameter
  • CYCLE105 invoked with insufficient character allocation per line
  • G-code syntax or formatting creates unexpectedly long string representation
  • Parameter _PROTFORM[1] set too low for current program complexity

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Check the active NC program for oversized blocks, particularly those using CYCLE105, and review line lengths in the source code
  2. 2Verify current _PROTFORM[1] parameter value via machine diagnostics or parameter list and compare against required character count
  3. 3Increase _PROTFORM[1] value incrementally in steps of 10-20 characters until alarm clears; document the new value
  4. 4Rebuild or reload the affected program block and execute a dry run to confirm alarm resolution
  5. 5If using cycle-generated code, review CYCLE105 invocation parameters for any syntax that may generate excessive output
