Message Description
THREAD LEADIS ZERO Nothread leadhas beenprogrammed ina blockthat calls for threadcutting. Thread leadis
programmed with either anF- or an E-word.
THREAD PULLOUTDISTANCE TOO LARGE The programmedthreading pullout distanceis larger thanthe programmeddistance of the
thread departure.
THREAD PULLOUTSTOPPEDAT I--PLANE The chamferblock of athreading cycleis shortenedso that thecombination of pullout angleand
pullout distance does not cause theretract in axis1 to go beyond theI--plane. The AMPpullout
angle is still usedfor the chamfer.
THREADING DISTANCEIS ZERO A threading cycle has beenprogrammed with no thread. Program an end-point or anend-point
different fromthe start-point.
TIME-OUT OCCURRED WHILE WAITING FORINPUT Whendownloading AMPor PAL from theODS workstation tothe control, the message OKAY
TODOWNLOAD? (Y/N): appears on thecontrol screen. If you donot respond withinan allowed
time, this errorwill appear.

TOOMANY ( [ )IN EXPRESSION The controlhas foundan unmatchednumber of [] in aprogram blockor calculator operation. All
left brackets “[”must have acorresponding right bracket “]”.
TOOMANY ( ] )IN EXPRESSION The controlhas foundan unmatchednumber of [] in aprogram blockor calculator operation. All
right brackets “]”must have acorresponding left bracket “[”.
TOOMANY 7300PATTERNS INMEMORY Anattempt was made to enter a7300 patterninto thecontrol’smemory whenthe internal
cross-reference table of pattern repeat names was full. The internalcross-reference table of
pattern repeat names can onlyhold 20pattern repeat names.
TOOMANY ACTIVEPROCESSES CONFIGURED An AMP hasbeen loadedthat has toomany activelyconfigured processesfor this controller
model. The 260series and the dual lathecan haveonly 2active processes.
TOOMANY AXESAMPED FORHARDWARE AnAMP has beenloaded that hastoo many configured axesfor thiscontroller model. The
9/440 series can haveonly upto 6axes.
TOOMANY AXESPROGRAMMED Too manyaxis letterswere programmedin afixed cycleblock.
TOOMANY AXESSELECTED FORDISPLAY When usingthe {AXISSELECT} softkey, you can display only 6axes. If you attempt to display
more than 6 axes, this message isdisplayed.
TOOMANY CODESIN SYNCHBLOCK Synch codes must bein a block bythemselves, except for anN- or O-word. (9/260-9/290 dual
lathe only)
TOOMANY DECIMALPOINTS A wordor parameter value hasbeen programmedwith twoor moredecimal points.
TOOMANY DEVICESON I/ORING The I/Oring cannot support thenumber of devicesthat has been connected.
TOOMANY EXPRESSIONNESTS The maximum numberof nested expressions is 25; for example, [P3+[P4+[P5]]] has3
expressions nests.
TOOMANY G67’S A G67 cancelmodal paramacrocode wasexecuted whenno modalparamacro wasactive.
This istypically causedwhen thereare fewernested modalparamacros thanthe programmer
expected.
TOOMANY I-J-KSETS An attempt was madeto definea local paramacro parameterthat is greater than#33 usingI,J,K,
argument sets. A maximum of 10 different I, J, K, sets may beprogrammed foreach set of local
parameters.
TOOMANY MACROCALLS The maximum numberof nested paramacroswas reached. Only 4paramacros canbe activeat
any onetime.
TOOMANY MOTORS AMPED ON1ST BOARD The AMPparameter for thenumber of motors onthe first servoboard islarger than thenumber
of axes inthe system.
TOOMANY NESTED(DO) COMMANDS Morethan theallowable numberparamacro DO loops areactive at onetime. A maximum of 3
nested DO loops areallowed.
TOOMANY NONMOTIONBLOCKS-DEADLOCK There were too many non-motion blocks encountered duringthe look-aheadfor cutter
compensation or QPP. Consult Allen-Bradley customer support services.
