Message Description
MAXIMUM BLOCK NUMBERREACHED A renumber operation was performed torenumber blocksequence numbers(N-words), and the
control hasexceeded ablock number of N99999. Either the program istoo largeto renumber,
or theparameters for thefirst sequence number, or the sequencenumber increment, are too
large. When this erroroccurs, the renumber operation stopsrenumbering at thelast block
within the legal rangeof N-words.
MAXIMUM NUMBEROF AXESEXCEEDED If the COCOM breakout istrue, a maximumof 4 concurrent interpolated axes canbe used.
MAXIMUM NUMBEROF PROGRAMS The RAM diskdirectory forpart program storage is full. You can store only328 fileson the
system evenwhen memoryis availablefor part program storage.
MAXIMUM RETRACE COUNTREACHED The limit (defined in AMP) for the amount of retraceblocks allowedwas reached. No further
retracing will be allowed.
MAXIMUM REVERSE PLANESEXCEEDED The order that theaxes arenamed inAMP is important. If, for example, axis one’ s nameis
assigned as X andaxis three’ s nameis assignedas Z, a reverse plane is defined if the G18
plane is assigned inAMP asthe ZXplane. The G18plane definesa planeconsisting of axis 3
followed by axis 1, makingit a reverseplane (axis1 followedby axis3 wouldbe anormal plane
since 1 is configuredbefore 3from thestandpoint of ODS). This alsopertains toparallel axes.
A maximum of fourreverse planesis allowed. If your system exceedsthis number of reverse
planes, you must re-configure your AMP.
MAXIMUM RPM LIMITAUXILIARYSPINDLE 2 Arequest was madefor the auxspindle 2speed to exceed the AMPedmaximum value.
Reduce the programmed aux spindle 2speed, or usethe spindlespeed overrideswitch to
reduce the RPM.
MAXIMUM RPM LIMITAUXILIARYSPINDLE 3 Arequest was madefor the auxspindle 3speed to exceed the AMPedmaximum value.
Reduce the programmed aux spindle 3speed, or usethe spindlespeed overrideswitch to
reduce the RPM.
MAXIMUM RPM LIMITFIRST SPINDLE Arequest was madefor the spindle 1 speed to exceed theAMPed maximum value. Reduce the
programmed spindle 1 speed, or use thespindle speedoverride switchto reducethe RPM.
MAXIMUM RPM LIMITPRIMARYSPINDLE A request wasmade for theprimary spindlespeed toexceed theAMPed maximumvalue.
Reduce the programmed primary spindle speed, oruse the spindle speed overrideswitch to
reduce the RPM.
MAXIMUM RPM LIMITSECOND SPINDLE A request wasmade forthe spindle 2 speed to exceed theAMPed maximum value. Reduce the
programmed spindle 2 speed, or use thespindle speedoverride switchto reducethe RPM.
MAXIMUM RPM LIMITTHIRD SPINDLE A request wasmade forthe spindle3 speedto exceed the AMPed maximum value. Reduce the
programmed spindle 3 speed, or use thespindle speedoverride switchto reducethe RPM.
MESSAGE PENDING, PRESSA KEY TO DISPLAY The9/Series screen saver is engagedand asystem error message, PAL error message, E-Stop
condition, or PAL displaypage hasbeen activated. Press anykey onthe keyboardto disable
the screen saver andview the error or PAL displaypage.
MDI INPUT COMMAND TOOLONG TheMDI input command stringexceeds themaximum length allowed.
MDI NOT ALLOWED DURING INTERRUPTMACRO An attempt was made tohalt the executionof a interrupt program and executea MDI command.
MDI commands cannot beexecuted duringthe executionof a interrupt program.
MDI NOT ALLOWED DURING POCKETMILLING An MDI commandcannot be programmedwhile a G88 or G89 pocket millingcycle isexecuting.
MDI NOT ALLOWED DURING RETRACE You cannot use MDI while aretrace operationis in progress.
MEASUREMENT POINT OVERFLOW The user triedto enter more pointsinto onlineAMP for axiscalibration thanare permitted.
MEMORYCRASH -REFORMAT A major errorhas occurredwithin thesystem RAM memory. All part programsstored inmemory
will haveto bebe deletedby performinga reformat operation. This willnot remove the current
versions of AMPor PAL from thesystem.
MEMORYFULL There is no moreRAM memoryspace for part program storage. If you arein the process of
editing a part program, your changescannot be saved.
MIDSTART NOT ALLOWEDFROM TAPE You cannot performa mid-programstart on a program that isstored ontape. The program must
first be transferred to RAM memory.
