Code 14094: [Channel %1: ] Block %2 polynominal degree greater than 3 programmed for polynominal interpolation
Issue Description & Safety Warning
The Siemens SINUMERIK 840D CNC has triggered a critical [Channel %1: ] Block %2 polynominal degree greater than 3 programmed for polynominal interpolation 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 Definitions: The polynomial degree in the polynomial interpolati on is based on the number of programmed coefficients for an axis. The maximum possible polynomial degree is 3, i.e. the axes are according to the function: f(p) = a0 + a1 p + a2 p2 + a3 p3 The coefficient a0 is the actual position at the start of interpolation and is not programmed! Reaction: Correction block is reorganized. Interface signals are set. Alarm display. Remedy: Reduce the number of coefficients. The polynomial block may have a form no greater than the following: N1 POLY PO[X]=(1.11, 2.22, 3.33) PO[Y]=(1.11, 2.22, 3.33) N1 PO[n]=... PL=44 n... n... axis identifier, max. 8 path axes per block Program Continuation: Clear alarm with NC ST ART or RESET key and continue the program.
