Siemens 840D 62314 - Channel block: Traverse path limitation via software end position,
Alarm 62314 occurs when CYCLE977 (Workpiece Measurement Cycle) attempts to traverse toward a software end position limit (defined by MD32100/MD32110 for axis negative/positive limits) and the calculated probe path would violate the configured software travel range. The NCK detects the traversal command would exceed JOG_LIMIT or SOFTLIMIT boundaries before the measurement can complete.

Siemens 840D 62314 - Channel block: Traverse path limitation via software end position,
Channel block: Traverse path limitation via software end position,
Siemens SINUMERIK alarm 62314: Channel block: Traverse path limitation via software end position,. This alarm indicates a fault or error condition on the SINUMERIK 840D control. Refer to the Siemens SINUMERIK alarm documentation for the complete description and remedy.
Root Cause Summary
Alarm 62314 occurs when CYCLE977 (Workpiece Measurement Cycle) attempts to traverse toward a software end position limit (defined by MD32100/MD32110 for axis negative/positive limits) and the calculated probe path would violate the configured software travel range. The NCK detects the traversal command would exceed JOG_LIMIT or SOFTLIMIT boundaries before the measurement can complete.
Safety
- Refer to Siemens documentation
- Ensure qualified technician performs repairs
Causes and Fixes
- 1
In the NCK/PLC menu, navigate to Diagnose > Axis > Position and verify current axis position relative to active software limits (display MD32100 and MD32110 values for the affected axis in channel %1).
- 2
Physically reposition the workpiece (or adjust the pallet/fixture) to increase distance from the software end position limit by at least 50-100mm, ensuring CYCLE977 has sufficient traverse range.
Do NOT increase software limits (MD32100/MD32110) beyond machine travel limits without mechanical validation.
- 3
Re-execute CYCLE977 block %2 after repositioning. Monitor the probe approach distance using the cycle's diagnostic output parameters.
