Error and System Messages
This appendix serves as a guide to error and system messages that can
occur during programming and operation of the 9/Series control. We listed
the messages in alphabetical order along with a brief description.
Important: To display both active and inactive messages, press the
{ERROR MESAGE} softkey found on softkey level 1. For details, see
chapter 2.
Important: This appendix covers only error and system messages.
PAL-generated operator messages generally appear on lines 21 and 22 of
the CRT and should be described in documentation prepared by the
machine tool builder.

1394 AXIS MODULE MISMATCH At power turn onthe system identifiedan axismodule inthe 1394 rack that ismisconfigured in
AMP. If an extraaxis module is present in the 1394 rack it should eitherbe fully configured or
not configured at all in AMPeven if that axismodule isnot used or detached.
1394 RING COMMUNICATIONS ERROR At power up theinternal communicationsring whichruns throughthe front of the1394 system

the device. Make sureall axis modulesand theend terminator are properlyconnected to
complete the communication ring.
