Windows for warnings and errors
3.6 Windows for warnings and errors
3.6.1 CNC warnings and errors
When an error occurs, the CNC displays a window with the error category, its number and
its associated text. There are three error categories, each one of them shows a window in
a different color.
When several warnings and/or errors occur simultaneously, they are displayed from the one
with the highest priority to the one with the lowest priority. A down arrow indicates that there
are errors or warnings with lower priority and an up arrow indicates that there are some with
higher priority. The order of priority appears next to the arrows. The operator can toggle the
different active errors or messages using the [][] keys.
The warning and error windows may be displayed or hidden with the keystroke combination
[ALT]+[W] or clicking on the windows and on the status bar. When these windows are hidden,
the status bar will show an indicator with the active error number. If several errors are active,
it will highlight the "+" sign next to the number.
Help for the warnings and errors.
WARNING
The system warning mesages are just warnings, they do not interrupt the execution of the
part-program and may be eliminated by pressing the [ESC] key.
The warnings programmed with the instruction #WARNINGSTOP interrupt the execution of
the program at the point where this instruction has been programmed. In this type of
warnings, It's up to the user to either resume the execution at this point, [START] key, or abort
the program, [RESET] key.
ERROR
It may be a syntax error in a program, PLC generated errors, etc. These errors interrupt the
execution of the program and they must be corrected.
While the error window is active, no other action will be possible but removing it (it is not
possible to change operating modes in the channel). Some errors may be eliminated by
pressing the [ESC] key, whereas for others, the [ESC] key only closes the window that shows
it and the [RESET] key must be pressed to eliminate the error state. After pressing [RESET]
the CNC assumes the initial conditions set by the machine manufacturer with the machine
parameters.
The [RESET] key is needed to eliminate the errors that open the emergency relay, errors
occurred in execution, loop errors, bus errors, PLC errors, hardware errors, etc.
FATAL ERROR
They are errors that force the operator to turn the CNC off. If the error persists, contact the
Service Department at Fagor Automation.
WARNING Green window.
ERROR Red window.
FATAL ERROR Purple window.
Some warning and errors, besides their description, can show additional
information on their causes and solutions. If the warning or error offers this option,
a help icon will appear to the right of its number. This additional information may
be displayed by pressing the [HELP] key or clicking on the help icon. To close the
window for warnings and errors, press [ESC].
