Sinumerik Alarm 14120 Channel %1 block %2 plane determination for programmed orientation not possible


Sinumerik Alarm 14120 Channel %1 block %2 plane determination for programmed orientation not possible

Parameters:
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Block number, label

Definitions:
The programmed orientation vectors (direction vectors) in the beginning of block and end of block point include an angle of 180 degrees. Therefore the interpolation plane cannot be determined. Example:
N50 TRAORI (1)
N55 A3=0 B3=0 C3=1
N60 A3=0 B3=0 C3=-1 ; the vector of this block is precisely opposite to that in the preceding block.

Reactions:
– Alarm display.
– Interface signals are set.
– Correction block is reorganized.

Remedy:
Modify the part program so that the orientation vectors of a block are not directly opposed to each other, for instance by dividing the block up into 2 sub blocks.

Program Continuation:
Clear alarm with NC START or RESET key and continue the program.
