Siemens 70013 - Channel block axis reaches angle on platform

Channel block axis reaches angle on platform

The indicated block includes a position on which the limit angles on the platform are exceeded, see MD 62126 und 62127 Control reaction: Local alarm reaction. Interface signals are set. Alarm display.

Root Cause Summary

Alarm 70013 fires when a programmed block positions a rotary axis beyond the platform angle limits defined in MD 62126 (negative limit) and MD 62127 (positive limit). This protective alarm prevents mechanical interference or collision with machine structure by enforcing software-based angular boundaries on the platform/turret axis.

Safety

  • Only qualified personnel should diagnose and clear control alarms; follow the machine builder's safety procedures and lockout/tagout where hardware work is required.

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Review the NC block (%2) and verify the commanded axis position (%3). Cross-reference with machine drawing to confirm mechanical platform range.

  2. 2

    Access SINUMERIK 840D HMI → Diagnosis → Axis Data → Machine Data. Navigate to MD 62126 (platform angle minimum) and MD 62127 (platform angle maximum) for the affected channel (%1).

    Modify MD parameters only after confirming mechanical limits with machine builder documentation.

  3. 3

    Adjust the NC program to constrain platform movements within [MD 62126, MD 62127] range, or verify MD values match actual machine mechanical stops (+/- tolerance).

  4. 4

    Test with incremental positioning to confirm limits are respected. Use DRY RUN mode before executing production blocks.
