Error Problem Solution
ERR001
Command not allowed during program
execution

command)
ERR002
Password error (should enter the proper password)
ERR003
Data error or unrecognized command (should correct syntax of command)
ERR004
Illegal character: bad value (>127
ASCII) or serial parity/framing error
(should correct the character and or check for
noise on the serial cable)
ERR005
Command not allowed unless buffer is
open

ERR006

(should allow more room for buffer – DELETE or
CLEAR other buffers)

ERR008
MACRO auxiliary communications

(should check MACRO ring hardware and
software setup)
ERR009
Program structural error (e.g. ENDIF
without IF)
(should correct structure of program)

ERR012
A motor in the coordinate system is
open-loop
(should close the loop on the motor)
ERR013

activated
(should set Ix00 to 1 or remove motor from C.S.)
ERR014
No motors in the coordinate system (should define at least one motor in C.S.)
ERR015
Not pointing to valid program buffer
(should use B command first, or clear out
scrambled buffers)
ERR016
Running improperly structured
program (e.g. missing ENDWHILE)
