11.MOTOR/DETECTOR/AMPLIFIER PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
11.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OF MOTORS AND
DETECTORS
11.2.1 Warnings, Cautions, and Notes on Preventive Maintenance of
Motors and Detectors
This subsection contains the safety precautions for motor and detector preventive maintenance, which are
classified into "warnings", "cautions", and "notes" according to their bearing on safety. Make sure that
you understand and comply with these precautions when carrying out the maintenance work.
WARNING
Make sure that you are safely dressed and have a safe working environment when
performing preventive maintenance for a motor.
-
Be dressed safely, e.g. by wearing gloves and safety shoes, to protect against injury due to an
edge or protrusion and electric shock.
-
Have the work done by more than one person, where possible, so that immediate action can be
taken if an accident occurs when handling a motor.
-
A motor is heavy. When moving it, use a crane or other appropriate equipment to protect
against injury. For information about the weight of the motor, refer to its DESCRIPTIONS
manual (shown earlier).
-
Clothes or fingers can be caught in a rotating motor or come into contact with a moving part of
it. Standing in the direction of motor rotation (direction of motion) can pose a risk of injury.
Before rotating a motor, check that there is no object that is thrown away by motor rotation.
Be careful about electric shock, fire, and other accidents.
-
Do not handle a motor with a wet hand.
-
To prevent electric shock, make sure that no conductive object, such as a terminal, is exposed
when the motor is powered on.
-
Before touching a motor or any surrounding part, check that the power is shut off and take
appropriate safety precautions.
-
High voltage remains across power line terminals of a motor even after the power is shut off
(for at least five minutes). Do not touch a motor in such a condition or connect it to other
equipment.
-
A loose or disconnected terminal, short-circuited terminals, or a terminal connected to the
ground can cause overheating, spark, fire, or damage to the motor. Take appropriate
precautions to prevent these accidents.
-
When placed near any inflammable object or material, a motor can be ignited, catch fire, or
explode. Avoid placing it near such object or material.
Do not disassemble or modify a motor.
Motors such as linear motors, synchronous built-in servo motors, and synchronous built-in spindle
motors contain very strong magnets. If electronic medical apparatus comes near, these motors can
cause the apparatus to malfunction, potentially putting the user's life in danger. Also, disassembling
or modifying a motor can cause a failure, regardless of the type of motor. Do not disassemble or
modify a motor in any way not specified by FANUC.
- 411 -
11.MOTOR/DETECTOR/AMPLIFIER PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
B-64305EN/03
CAUTION
Ensure that the specified cooling conditions are met.
If the specified cooling conditions are not met (the motor is insufficiently or excessively cooled), the
motor can fail. Problems that can cause a motor failure, such as liquid piping clog, leakage, and fan
motor trouble, should be eliminated through periodic inspection. Do not drive the motor when the
cooling system is in an abnormal condition.
Do not change the system configuration.
Do not change the configuration of the system when it is running normally. Doing so can cause an
accident or failure. If you disconnect a cable for maintenance or some other purpose, take an
appropriate measure, such as putting a mark on it, to ensure you can restore the original state.
Use the tapped holes of a motor only to move the motor.
Do not use the tapped holes of a motor to lift or move any other object along with the motor. Doing
so can damage the motor. Depending on the type of motor, the place and direction in which the
motor can be lifted may be predetermined. For details, refer to the DESCRIPTIONS manual of the
motor (shown earlier).
Do not touch a motor when it is running or immediately after it stops.
A motor may get hot when it is running. Do not touch the motor before it gets cool enough.
Otherwise, you may get burned.
NOTE
Do not remove a nameplate from a motor.
The nameplate is used to identify the motor during maintenance work. If a nameplate comes off, be
careful not to lose it.
Do not step or sit on a motor, and avoid applying shock to a motor.
Any of these acts can deform or break the motor or affect its component, crippling the normal motor
operation. Do not put a motor on top of another motor.
Comply with the specified conditions when conducting an electric test (winding
resistance test, insulation resistance test, etc.) for a motor or other device or
supplying power.
-
Conduct an electric test according to the specified method. Conducting such a test by any
method that is not specified can damage the motor.
-
Do not conduct a dielectric strength test or insulation test for a Pulsecoder or other detector, or
do not apply a commercial power source voltage. Doing so can destroy the internal elements.
Perform preventive maintenance
(inspection of the external appearance,
measurement of winding resistance, insulation resistance, etc.) and cleaning on a
regular basis.
To use a motor safely throughout its entire service life, perform preventive maintenance and
cleaning on a regular basis. Be careful, however, because excessively severe inspection (dielectric
strength test, etc.) can damage its windings. For information about winding resistance values, refer
to the DESCRIPTIONS manual of the motor (its specification number is shown in this manual).
Information about insulation resistance is given later in this manual.
- 412 -
B-64305EN/03
11.MOTOR/DETECTOR/AMPLIFIER PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
NOTE
• This manual is focused on the preventive maintenance work to be performed for
a single FANUC motor or detector alone. The information contained herein may
not apply depending on the type or configuration of the machine. When reading
this manual, refer to the manual of the machine as well. If you have any
questions or doubts, do not act on your own; please contact the machine tool
builder or FANUC.
• For detailed information about a motor, see the manual list shown earlier and, if
necessary, obtain the latest version of the corresponding manual.
11.2.2 Preventive Maintenance of a Motor (Common to All Models)
This subsection describes the common preventive maintenance items to be handled regardless of the
model of the motor. For the items specific to a particular motor model, see one of the subsequent
subsections that pertains to that particular motor model.
CAUTION
• The preventive maintenance method differs from machine to machine in many
respects. Depending on the machine in use, it may be difficult for the user to
perform periodic inspection or cleaning. If you are not sure about anything as to
preventive maintenance, consult with the machine tool builder and ensure that
you can perform periodic inspection and cleaning.
• The machine should be used within the scope of specification defined by the
machine tool builder. Using the machine in any way that is outside the specified
scope can reduce the motor's service life or cause a failure.
11.2.2.1 Main inspection items
The following table summarizes the main inspection items for a motor. If any of these items is found to
be abnormal, stop the use of the machine immediately and fix the abnormal part by repairing or
replacing it. At the same time, identify and remove the cause and take a measure to prevent its
recurrence. If it is difficult to take a preventive measure or to prevent its recurrence, consult with the
machine tool builder or FANUC.

Connection state
Cable
-
Check for any cable sheath damage, exposed conductor, damaged
conduit or cable bearing, abnormal bending, loose terminal, etc.
-
If there is any trace of fluid flowing, the fluid may have entered the
inside of the motor or connector. It is necessary to make a check and
take a measure to prevent recurrence.
Connector/terminal
-
Check for any cracked, exposed, loose, or removed terminal or
connector, etc.
-
Fluid causes a failure; be sure to remove fluid.
-
A scarred or damaged connector or terminal needs to be replaced. In
the case of a resin molded motor, such as a linear motor, the motor
needs to be replaced.
Operation of the
Noise/vibration
-
Check for any abnormal noise or vibration not only when the motor is
motor
running (the spindle is rotating) but also when it is stopped.
-
Abnormal noise heard when the motor is rotating indicates an
abnormality of the bearing or a failure inside the motor.
Movement
-
Check that the motor operates normally and smoothly.
-
If the circuit breaker trips at the same time the motor starts to
operate, it indicates abnormal motor windings.
Heat
Check whether the motor does not overheat during the normal operation
cycle.
Note: While the motor is running or immediately after it is stopped, the
motor surface may become very hot. Instead of touching the motor
directly by hand, use a thermolabel, surface thermometer, etc.

If the power is on and if the fan does not operate or the fan blades
cannot be moved even manually, or if the fan blades are rotating but
no cooling wind is blown out, the fan motor may have cutting chips or
sludge accumulated in it and needs to be cleaned.
-
If the fan does not operate normally for any other reason, the fan
motor needs to be replaced.

measure to prevent recurrence.
Liquid leakage/clog
-
Check the cooling pipe for leakage or clog. Do not drive the motor
unless the leakage or clog is fixed.
-
Liquid leakage from a spindle motor with a through hole indicates a
failure of the coolant joint. In this case, the joint needs to be replaced.
-
In the case of liquid leakage from a linear motor (coil slider), the
linear motor (coil slider) needs to be replaced.
-
If the motor gets wet due to liquid leakage or any other cause, it is
necessary to clean and dry the motor and perform electric
characteristic checks (winding resistance/insulation resistance).

Insulation resistance measurement
The following table shows the judgment criteria to be applied when measuring insulation resistance
between winding and frame using a megohmmeter (500 VDC).
Insulation resistance

present. Be sure to perform periodic inspection.
The winding has considerably deteriorated. Special care is in need. Be sure to perform
1 to 10 Ω
periodic inspection.
Lower than 1 Ω
Unacceptable. Replace the motor.
If insulation resistance drops sharply during a short period of time or if the circuit breaker trips, the
cutting fluid or other foreign matter may have entered the inside of the motor or cable. In that case,
contact the machine tool builder or FANUC for instructions.
CAUTION
• Let the motor dry and cool to room temperature before winding or insulation
resistance is measured. Otherwise, not only an accurate measurement cannot
be performed but also the motor may be damaged.
• The winding or insulation resistance measurement should be performed on the
motor alone, with its power line disconnected.
Measuring insulation resistance with the motor connected to the amplifier may
damage the amplifier.
• During insulation resistance measurement, applying voltage to the motor for a
long time may further deteriorate the insulation of the motor. Therefore, the
measurement of insulation resistance should be performed in a minimum
amount of time where possible.
• When disconnecting the power line and other cables, take an appropriate
measure, such as labeling, to ensure that they can be restored to their original
state.
11.2.2.2 Periodic cleaning of a motor
Periodic cleaning is necessary to remove an accumulation of cutting chips or sludge that may eventually
cause a failure. Also, leaving the cutting fluid or other chemical substance attached for a long time can
reduce the motor's service life substantially. When forcible cooling is provided by a liquid or air cooling
unit, check the unit for pipe clog, fan failure, etc. and perform cleaning periodically to ensure that the
coolant flows smoothly and that the motor is cooled properly.
WARNING
Depending on the type of motor, the handling may involve a risk and require
safety education in advance. Also, some machines are difficult for users to clean
on their own. If you are to clean the motor, consult with the machine tool builder
in advance with regard to the cleaning method, safety education, etc.

11.2.3 Preventive Maintenance of a Built-in Spindle Motor and
Spindle Unit
This subsection contains the safety precautions you need to bear in mind when performing preventive
maintenance for a built-in spindle motor (BiI or BiS Series) or the FANUC-NSK spindle unit. In some
cases, the work may involve a life-threatening risk or cause substantial damage. Make sure that you fully
understand these safety precautions before carrying out the work.
WARNING
Do not disassemble the spindle. Particularly, the rotor of a synchronous built-in
spindle motor (BiS Series) uses strong permanent magnets. The strong magnet
force may cause injury or medical appliance malfunction.
Do not operate a synchronous built-in spindle motor with an external engine.
Doing so is very dangerous because it makes the motor act as a power
generator, generating high voltage. A power outage is also dangerous because
the motor runs freely and, again, generates high voltage. As a safety precaution,
a sub module SM (SSM) is connected between motor and amplifier. Do not
disconnect the SSM under any circumstances. Also, connect the machine frame
to the ground to prevent electric shock.
A synchronous built-in spindle motor may perform a pole position detection
operation when it receives the first rotation command after it is powered on or
recovers from an alarm. The pole position detection operation takes 20 to 60
seconds to complete, during which the spindle behaves oddly, e.g., rotating
clockwise and counterclockwise alternately in rapid succession. This
phenomenon is not abnormal. During the detection operation, do not touch or
look down at the spindle, which is a dangerous act.
CAUTION
Performing a test run described in Chapter 3, "TEST RUN METHOD", in Part IV,
of "FANUC - NSK SPINDLE UNIT series DESCRIPTIONS (B-65352)" and the
inspection and maintenance work described in this manual is the condition for
guaranteeing the operation of the FANUC-NSK spindle unit. Be sure to perform
the test run and inspection and maintenance work as instructed.
11.2.3.1 Routine inspection of the FANUC-NSK spindle unit
Perform the following routine inspections every day at the start of operation so that stable performance
can be obtained from the spindle.
Item
Check
1
Check if the axis, when turned manually, rotates lightly and smoothly.
WARNING When turning the axis manually, be sure to turn off the power to the machine.
2
Check if cuttings and coolant residuals are attached to the periphery of a slinger.
3
Check if dust such as cuttings is attached to the spindle taper portion.
4
For operation at 15,000 min-1 or more immediately after turning on, increase the speed gradually
by using the spindle override function. (This substitutes for a simple test run.)
5
Check if an abnormal sound is generated.
6
Check if an abnormal vibration is generated.
7
Check if an abnormal heat is generated.

B-64305EN/03
11.2.3.2 Maintenance of the FANUC-NSK spindle unit
A FANUC-NSK spindle unit with a grease unit requires periodical maintenance for consumable/wear
parts, such as supplying grease. Depending on the use frequency of and damage to parts, maintenance
generally becomes necessary after two years of machine operation or 10,000 hours of spindle
operation. Contact FANUC or the machine tool builder when maintenance becomes necessary. Also, an
effective way to reduce the machine down time due to maintenance is to prepare spare parts; consult with
the machine tool builder.
11.2.3.3 Test run of the FANUC-NSK spindle unit
If any of the following cases applies, be sure to contact the machine tool builder and perform a test run as
described in Chapter 3, "TEST RUN METHOD", in Part IV, of "FANUC - NSK SPINDLE UNIT
series DESCRIPTIONS (B-65352EN)".
-
If the spindle unit is rotated for the first time after it is unpacked or attached to the machine
-
If the machine or spindle unit has undergone transportation or relocation
-
If the spindle unit alone has been stored for a period longer than six months or has not been used for
one month or more after installation
CAUTION
FANUC assumes no responsibility for any damage resulting from the failure to perform a
test run or improper use of the spindle unit.
11.2.3.4 Storage method of the FANUC-NSK spindle unit
Apply rust-proof oil to the surface of the spindle unit, pack the spindle unit, and store the packed spindle
unit at a location that satisfies the conditions described below. Also, follow the "This Side Up" and "No
Pile Up" instructions indicated on the pack surface.
-
Indoor well ventilated place not exposed to direct sunlight (place where the temperature varies little,
the room temperature is within 5°C to 40°C, and the humidity is 35% to 85% RH)
-
Place on the shelf subject to little vibration and dust (Do not place the spindle unit directly on the
floor; vibration and dust can damage the bearing or other parts of the spindle.)
Before using the spindle unit after a storage period of one month or more, make necessary checks, such as
measuring winding and insulation resistance, examining the appearance for rust and other problems, and
checking whether the axis can be turned manually. Depending on the storage period, a test run may be
necessary (described earlier).
11.2.4 Preventive Maintenance of a Linear Motor
The magnet plate of a linear motor contains very strong magnets. When performing the maintenance work,
make sure all those engaged in the work fully understand the potential risks involved.
- 418 -
B-64305EN/03
11.MOTOR/DETECTOR/AMPLIFIER PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
WARNING
• The FANUC linear motors use very strong magnets. Improper handling of the
motor is very dangerous and can lead to a serious accident. Particularly, a
person wearing a pacemaker or other medical apparatus should stay away from
the linear motor; otherwise, the apparatus may malfunction, potentially resulting
in a life-threatening accident.
• Those who will come near or touch a linear motor for maintenance work should
receive safety education in advance. For details, contact the machine tool builder
or FANUC.
11.2.4.1 Appearance inspection of the linear motor (magnet plate)
Perform an appearance inspection as well during cleaning or other maintenance work. A crack, chip,
deformation, or any other abnormality in appearance of the motor can lead to a serious failure in the
not-so-distant future. If you find any such abnormality, be sure to report it to the machine tool builder. A
scratch or other slight scar on the motor surface can also be a sign of future trouble and needs to be
addressed with care. Some suggested appearance inspection items for the magnet plate are described
below.

11.3 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OF SERVO AMPLIFIERS
11.3.1 Warnings, Cautions, and Notes on Preventive Maintenance of
Servo Amplifiers
This subsection contains the safety precautions on preventive maintenance of a servo amplifier (a generic
term to refer to the power supply, servo amplifier, spindle amplifier, and other sub modules of a motor
drive unit). These precautions are classified into "warnings", "cautions", and "notes" according to their
bearing on safety. Make sure that you understand and comply with these precautions when carrying out
the maintenance work.
WARNING
Make sure that you are safely dressed and have a safe working environment when
performing preventive maintenance for a servo amplifier.
-
Be dressed safely, e.g. by wearing gloves and safety shoes, to protect against injury due to an
edge or protrusion and electric shock.
-
Have the work done by more than one person, where possible, so that immediate action can be
taken if an accident occurs when handling a motor.
-
A servo amplifier and AC reactor contain heavy components. Be careful when transporting
them or mounting them on the power magnetic cabinet. Also be careful not to get your fingers
caught between the power magnetics cabinet and servo amplifier.
Before turning on the power, check that the door of the power magnetics cabinet and
all other doors.
-
Ensure that the door of the power magnetics cabinet containing the servo amplifier, as well as
all other doors, are closed and locked except during maintenance work.
When the need arises to open the door of the power magnetics cabinet, only a person trained in
the maintenance of the corresponding machine or equipment should do the task after shutting
off the power supply to the power magnetics cabinet by opening both the input circuit breaker
of the power magnetics cabinet and the factory switch used to supply power to the cabinet.
Be careful about electric shock, fire, and other accidents.
-
If the machine must be operated with the door open for adjustment or some other purpose, the
operator must keep his or her hands and tools well away from any dangerous voltages. Such
work must be done only by a person trained in the maintenance of the machine or equipment.
-
Ensure that the door of the power magnetics cabinet is locked so that the door cannot be opened
by anyone, except service personnel or a qualified person trained in maintenance to prevent
electric shock, when the servo amplifier is powered on.
-
When the need arises for an operator to open the door of the power magnetics cabinet and
perform an operation, ensure that the operator is sufficiently educated in safety or that a
protective cover is added to prevent the operator from touching any dangerous part.
-
The servo amplifier contains a large-capacity electrolytic capacitor in it and remains charged
for a while after the power is shut off. Before touching the servo amplifier for maintenance or
some other purpose, measure the residual voltage of the DC link connection using a tester and
check that the red LED for indicating charging is in progress is not lit, in order to ensure safety.
-
After wiring, be sure to close the servo amplifier cover.
-
A loose screw or poor connector contact can cause a motor malfunction or overheating,
connection to ground, or short-circuit. Be extremely careful with power supply lines, motor
power lines, and DC link connections through which a large electric current flows, because a
loose screw or poor connector contact may lead to a fire. Tighten screws and connectors using
the specified screw tightening torque.
- 423 -
11.MOTOR/DETECTOR/AMPLIFIER PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
B-64305EN/03
-
The surfaces of the regenerative discharge unit and heat radiator may become very hot. Do not
touch them directly by hand.
When operating the machine for the first time after preventive maintenance, check
that the machine operates as instructed.
-
To check whether the machine operates as instructed, first specify a small value for the motor
and then increase the value gradually. If the motor operates abnormally, perform an emergency
stop immediately.
-
When pressing the emergency stop button, check that the motor stops immediately and that the
power being supplied to the amplifier is shut off by the magnetic contactor.
Notes on alarms
-
If the machine stops due to an alarm, check the alarm number. Depending on the alarm issued,
if the power is supplied without replacing the failed component, another component may be
damaged, making it difficult to identify the original cause of the alarm.
-
Before resetting an alarm, ensure that the original cause of the alarm has been removed.
If the motor causes any abnormal noise or vibration while operating, stop it
immediately.
-
Using the motor in spite of the abnormal noise or vibration may damage the servo amplifier.
Do not disassemble or modify a servo amplifier.
Do not disassemble or modify a servo amplifier in any way not specified by FANUC; doing so can
lead to a failure.
CAUTION
Notes on servo amplifier replacement and wiring
-
The work of servo amplifier replacement and wiring should be carried out by a person trained
in the maintenance of the machine and equipment concerned.
-
When replacing a servo amplifier, check that the combination of the amplifier and the motor is
appropriate.
-
Check that the servo amplifier is securely mounted on the power magnetics cabinet. If there is
any clearance between the power magnetics cabinet and the surface on which the amplifier is
mounted, dust entering the gap may hinder the normal operation of the servo amplifier.
-
Ensure that the power supply lines, motor power lines, and signal lines are each connected to
the correct terminal or connector.
-
Unless otherwise instructed, do not unplug a connector and plug it back with the power on;
doing so may cause the servo amplifier to fail.
-
When mounting or unmounting the servo amplifier, exercise care not to get your fingers caught
between the servo amplifier and power magnetics cabinet.
-
Take care not to lose track of removed screws. Turning on the power with any lost screw left in
the unit may damage the machine.
-
Exercise care to prevent the power supply lines and motor power lines from being connected to
the ground or being short-circuited.
-
Protect the lines from any stress such as bending. Handle the line ends appropriately.
Be careful about the handling of a servo amplifier.
-
Do not disassemble a servo amplifier. Doing so poses the risk of electric shock, because the
capacitor may remain charged.
-
Do not apply shock to a servo amplifier. Doing so may damage its components, potentially
causing the amplifier to malfunction.
- 424 -
B-64305EN/03
11.MOTOR/DETECTOR/AMPLIFIER PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
-
Do not apply an excessively large force to plastic parts. If a plastic section breaks, it may
damage internal parts, thus hindering normal operation or leading to a risk of injury due to a
broken section.
Be careful about the operating environment of a servo amplifier.
-
Prevent conductive, combustible, or corrosive foreign matter, mist, or drops of water from
entering the inside of the unit. The entry of any such material may cause the unit to explode,
break, malfunction, etc.
-
Exercise care to prevent cutting fluid, oil mist, cutting chips, or other foreign matter from
attaching to the radiator or fan motor exposed to the outside of the power magnetics cabinet.
Otherwise, the servo amplifier may become unable to meet its specifications. The service lives
of the fan motor and semiconductors can also be reduced.
Clean the heat sink and fan motor on a regular basis.
-
Replace the filter of the power magnetics cabinet on a regular basis.
-
Before cleaning the heat sink, shut down the power and ensure that the temperature of the heat
sink is as cool as the room temperature. The heat sink is very hot immediately after power
shutdown, touching it may cause burn injury.
-
When cleaning the heat sink by blowing air, be careful about dust scattering. Conductive dust
attached to the servo amplifier or its peripheral equipment can lead to a failure.
NOTE
Make sure that there is sufficient maintenance clearance around the doors of the
machine and equipment.
Do not step or sit on the servo amplifier, or do not apply shock to it.
Do not remove a nameplate from a motor.
-
The nameplate is necessary to identify the servo amplifier during maintenance work.
-
If a nameplate comes off, be careful not to lose it.
NOTE
• This manual is focused on the preventive maintenance work to be performed for
a FANUC servo amplifier. The information contained herein may not apply
depending on the type or configuration of the machine. When reading this
manual, refer to the manual of the machine as well. If you have any questions or
doubts, do not act on your own; please contact the machine tool builder or
FANUC.
• For detailed information about a servo amplifier, see the manual list shown
earlier and, if necessary, obtain the latest version of the corresponding manual.

statements it is from the block can be verified in the
diagnostics screen.
0002
TV ERROR
An error was detected during the single-block TV error.
The TV check can be suppressed by setting TVC parameter
No. 0000#0 to “0”.
0003
TOO MANY DIGIT
Data entered with more digits than permitted in the NC
instruction word.
The number of permissible digits varies according to the
function and the word.

NO DATA AFTER ADDRESS
NC word(s) address + numerical value not in word format.
This alarm is also generated when a custom macro does not
contain a reserved word, or does not conform to the syntax.
0006
ILLEGAL USE OF MINUS SIGN
A minus sign (-) was specified at an NC instruction word or
system variable where no minus signal may be specified.
0007
ILLEGAL USE OF DECIMAL POINT
A decimal point (.) was specified at an address where no
decimal point may be specified, or two decimal points were
specified.
0009
IMPROPER NC-ADDRESS
An illegal address was specified, or parameter 1020 is not set.
0010
IMPROPER G-CODE
An unusable G code is specified.
0011
FEED ZERO ( COMMAND )
The cutting feedrate instructed by an F code has been set to
0.
This alarm is also generated if the F code instructed for the S
code is set extremely small in a rigid tapping instruction as the
tool cannot cut at the programmed lead.
0015
TOO MANY SIMULTANEOUS AXES
A move command was specified for more axes than can be
controlled by simultaneous axis control.
Either divide the number of programmed move axes into two
blocks.
0020
OVER TOLERANCE OF RADIUS
An arc was specified for which the difference in the radius at
the start and end points exceeds the value set in parameter
No. 3410. Check arc center codes I, J and K in the program.
The tool path when parameter No. 3410 is set to a large value
is spiral.
0021
ILLEGAL PLANE SELECT
The plane selection instructions G17 to G19 are in error.
Reprogram so that same 3 basic parallel axes are not
specified simultaneously.
This alarm is also generated when an axis that should not be
specified for plane machining is specified, for example, for
circular interpolation.
T
In the 0i -TD, the helical interpolation option is needed to
enable the specification of 3 or more axes for the G02/G03
block.
0022
R OR I,J,K COMMAND NOT FOUND
The command for circular interpolation lacks arc radius R or
coordinate I, J, or K of the distance between the start point to
the center of the arc.

G43/G44
No axis is specified in G43 and G44 blocks for the tool length
offset type C.
Offset is not canceled but another axis is offset for the tool
length offset type C.
Multiple axes were specified for the same block when the tool
length compensation type is C.
