Message Description
TOO MANYNONMOTION CHAMFER/RADIUS BLOCKS Too many non-motion blocks separatethefirsttool path thatdeterminesthechamferorradius
size(programmed witha ,R or,C)fromthesecond tool path. A maximumnumberof
non-motionblocks is setinAMPbythesysteminstaller. Anon-motionblock is defined asany
blockthatdoesnotgenerateaxis motion inthecurrentplane.
TOO MANYPOCKETS IN ROUGHING CYCLE Amaximum of 2 pocketscan e xistin aroughingcycle.

TOO MANY SHARED SPINDLES Too many spindles were specifiedas beingsharedbytwoormore processes.
TOO MANYSPINDLES More than one spindle is configuredon the control.
TOO MANYSUBPROGRAM CALLS The maximumnumber ofnestedsub-programswasreached. Only 4 sub-programs may be
active atanyone time.

TOOL ENTRYEXCEEDS LIMIT The selectedtoolnumberentered is greaterthan the AMP’ed maximum toolnumberentered by
thesysteminstaller.
TOOLGROUPDOESNOT EXIST An attemptwas made to editatoolgroupinthetoollife managementtables thatdoes not yet
existin the tool directory. Agroupmustbe created by usingthe{TOOL DIR}softkeyoptions.
TOOL OFFSET CHANGESNOT ALLOWED Duringcertain cycles,G10toolchangeoperations are notallowed.
TOOLOFFSET REQUIRESMOTIONBLOCK A tool offsetcannotbechanged in anon-motionblock. A non-motion block isany block that
doesnotgenerate axismotion in the currentplane.
TOOL RADIUS TOO LARGE The programmed toolradius in aG88 or G 89 pocketcycle istoo largeforthe pocket contour. A

TRAVERSENOT ALLOWED ON : Anattemptwasmadetomovean axis atrapid traverse beforeitwasbeen homed. Thisonly
appliestoaxesthathavesoftware overtravel limits.
TYPE 1 INTERRUPT INCOMPATIBLEWITH G24 This message occurswhen returning fromatype1 programinterruptthatpreviouslyinterrupted
a G24 block. The interruptis allowed howeverthereturnmoveis invalid since the axiswas
previously in the G24mode. You mustmanuallyintervenetocontinue programexecution. We
recommendswitching to a type 2programinterrupt.
