Error listing EP
If any malfunctions occur, and in the case of incorrect
programming or operation of the machine, specific num-
bers indicating the cause are displayed after the word
ERROR.
If the displayed errors cannot be rectified by correct
operation or programming, an electrician or electronics
expert must be consulted; this applies on principle to
all errors marked with (E).
These error numbers consist of four digit's, the first
digit indicating whether the error concerns both machine
units or only the right-hand or the left-hand one. The
meanings are as follows:
OXXX Error applies to both machine units
1XXX Error applies to left-hand machine unit (I)
2XXX Error applies to right-hand machine unit (II)
The next three digits of the error number have the
following meanings?
001(E) Main drive not ready for operation
002 (E) No field excitation in main drive motor
003 Hydraulic system switched off
004 (E) Control voltage missing
005 Key-operated switch has been incorrectly
actuated

adequate precision in Precision Stop G09

IMPORTANT:
Er r or message "9999"
When "Error 9999" is displayed on the screen, the
machine must not be re-started after the error has
been cleared.
The program memory must be cleared (by a metric -
inch - metric switchover). The program can then be
re-started.
Possible causes of the error message
Program error read in via tape
e.g. in block N10 G61 E01 N80, the word G61 is missing
The feed holes are missing on the tape for reading
in between the end of the program and the start of
the parameter
In the Editor mode of operation, program parts are
being cleared, re-entered or modified at the con-
trol with the program memory almost completely full.
