Number Message Cause & Effect Action
536 M22x missing format
specifier
The format code was missing the its
specifier
Correct program.
537 M22x Missing
Argument
A format code was specified in the format
string, but its corresponding #variable
argument was missing
Correct program.
538 M22x argument parse
error
A format code was specified in the format
string, but its corresponding #variable
argument had a syntax error
Correct program.
539 M22x variable type
mismatch
A string format code was specified in the
format string, but its corresponding
#variable argument was numeric OR a
numeric format code was specified in the
format string, but its corresponding
#variable argument was a string
Correct program.
540 M22x variable cannot
be read
A format code was specified in the format
string, but its corresponding #variable
argument was invalid or there was a
machine error when accessing it.
Correct program.
542 M22x character limit
exceeded
The resultant formatted string after all the
format codes were processed was too long.
Correct program.
543 Missing L parameter L code was missing Correct program.
544 Too many axes More than 1 axis was specified with M128,
OR the Simultaneous Contouring feature is
not enabled. Without the Simultaneous
Contouring feature, a maximum of 3 axes
are allowed per G-code line.
Specify fewer axes on the
G-code line OR Contact
Dealer for information
about obtaining the
Simultaneous Contouring
feature.
545 Value out of range Parse error occurred because value was out
of range
Correct the value
547 Move by counts not
allowed
Cutter comp (G41/G42) was on when M128
was specified
Issue G40 (Cutter comp
off) before issuing M128
548 String too long A quoted string was too long (usually a file
name was longer than its allowed limit).
Shorten the file name.
549 Line too long A line in a G/M-code program is too long
(more than 1023 characters).
Shorten the line.
550 Invalid L parameter The value associated with the L code is
invalid
Give the correct value.
551 Invalid R value The value associated with the R code is
invalid
Give the correct value.
552 File encryption error Error while parsing encrypted G-code file.
Cutter compensation errors
Message Cause & Effect Action
601 Error: no compensation in
MDI
G41 or G42 entered in MDI. MDI is not
canceled, but cutter compensation does NOT
go into effect. Remainder of line processed.
Do not use G41 or G42
in MDI.
603
Arc as first uncomp. move on
line NNNNN
Arc specified as first move after end of
compensation (G40). Job cancelled.
First move after G40
must be a linear move.
604 Plane must be XY on line
NNNNN
Cutter compensation started with YZ or ZX
plane selected. Job cancelled.
YZ or ZX plane moves,
option is not available.
