This parameter determines which technological machining type is to be used.  
 
Error messages and error handling 
9.7.1 
 
If error conditions are detected in the cycles, an alarm is generated and the execution of the cycle is aborted. 
Furthermore, the cycles display their messages in the message line of the control system. These messages do not interrupt 
the program execution. 
The errors with their reactions and the messages in the message line of the control system are described in conjunction with 
the individual cycles. 
 
Error handling in the cycles 
 
If error conditions are detected in the cycles, an alarm is generated and the machining is aborted. 
Alarms with numbers between 61000 and 62999 generated in the cycles. This range of numbers, in turn, is divided again 
with regard to alarm responses and cancel criteria. 
The error text that is displayed together with the alarm number gives you more detailed information on the error cause. 
61000 ... 61999  NC_RESET  Block preparation in the NC is aborted 
62000 ... 62999  Clear key  The block preparation is interrupted; 
the cycle can be continued with the 
following key after the alarm has been 
cleared: 
 
 
The error numbers are classified as follows:  
 6   _   X   _   _ 
●  X=0 General cycle alarms 
●  X=1 Alarms generated by the drilling, drilling pattern and milling cycles 
 
The cycles display their messages in the message line of the control system. These messages do not interrupt the program 
execution.  
Messages provide information with regard to a certain behavior of the cycles and with regard to the progress of machining 
and are usually kept beyond a machining step or until the end of the cycle. An example of messages is as follows: 
"Depth: according to the value for the relative depth" from all drilling cycles.
