Official Troubleshooting Steps
Type of error: B — Registered data (the program or tool data includes an error) Stopped status: I — Reset stop Clearing procedure: O — Eliminate cause -> press reset key Display colour: Red On-screen parameters (shown in parentheses): WNo., UNo., SNo. Cause: 1. A normal path cannot be created since the cutting area is wider than twice the depth of cut per pass. 2. When the cutting area is equal to the clearance, a normal path cannot be created since the cutting area is wider than the depth of cut per pass. 3. A normal path cannot be created since the cutting area overlaps the deceleration distance and is wider than the depth of cut per pass. —— Action: 1. Increase the cutting depth to be set in the tool sequence, or narrow down the cutting area. 2. Increase the cutting depth to be set in the tool sequence, or reduce the clearance. 3. Two overlapping areas must not be present. Narrow down PRE-DIA (deceleration distance) to be set in the tool sequence, or narrow down the cutting area, or increase the cutting depth to be set in the tool sequence. 749 —— ——
