Code 12310: [Channel %1: ] Block %2 axis parameter missing on procedure call %3

Issue Description & Safety Warning

The Siemens SINUMERIK 840D CNC has triggered a critical [Channel %1: ] Block %2 axis parameter missing on procedure call %3 alarm. Immediate attention from a qualified operator or maintenance technician is required to prevent secondary damage to the equipment or spoiled parts during the manufacturing cycle. Always ensure standard safety and LOTO procedures are followed before accessing electrical cabinets.

Official Troubleshooting Steps

Parameters: %1 = Channel number %2 = Block number, label %3 = Source string Definitions: When calling the subroutine, an AXIS parameter is missing which, accordi ng to the EXTERN declaration, should be present. With the EXTERN instruction, user-defined subrout ines (procedures) are made "known" that have a parameter transfer. Procedures without parameter transfer require no EXTERN declaration. Example: Subroutine XYZ (with the formal parameters): PROC XYZ (INT X, VAR INT Y, AXIS A, AXIS B) EXTERN instruction (with variable types): EXTERN XYZ (INT, VAR INT, AXIS, AXIS) Subr outine call (with actual parameters): N10 XYZ (, Y1, R_TISCH) Variable X is defaulted with value 0 Variable Y is supplied with the value of the variable Y1 and returns the results to the calling program after the subroutine run Variable A is supplied with the axis in R_TISCH Variable B missing! Reaction: Correction block is reorganized. Interface signals are set. Alarm display. Remedy: Press the NC Stop key and select the function "C orrection block" with the softkey PROGRAM CORRECT. The correction pointer positions on the incorrect block. Program the missing AXIS parameter in the call. Program Continuation: Clear alarm with NC ST ART or RESET key and continue the program.
