Code 27103: Axis %1 difference in function safe limit position %2, NCK: %3 drive: %4

Issue Description & Safety Warning

The Siemens SINUMERIK 840D CNC has triggered a critical Axis %1 difference in function safe limit position %2, NCK: %3 drive: %4 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 = Axis number %2 = Number of safe limit position %3 = Monitoring status safe limit position %4 = Monitoring status safe limit position Definitions: During cross-comparison of result list 1 a differ ence was detected between the NCK and drive monitoring channels in the status of safe limit position monitoring. - Safe limit position 1: Bit 2, 3 in result list 1 - Safe limit position 2: Bit 4, 5 in result list 1 Monitoring status (%3, %4): - OFF = Monitoring is inactive in this monitoring channel - OK = Monitoring is active in this moni toring channel, limit val ues are not violated - L+ = Monitoring is active in th is monitoring channel, upper limit exceeded - L- = Monitoring is active in this monitoring channel, lower limit exceeded Reaction: Alarm display. If a safe monitoring was active, STOP B was also triggered automat ically. In this case, a power OFF/ON of the control will be required. Remedy: Check whether the safe inputs have switched to the same status in both monitoring channels within the permissible time tolerance. For further diagnostics, the drive machine data 139 1, 1392 and the servo trace signals "Result list 1 NCK" and "Result list 1 drive" can be used. For further diagnostics, the drive parameters r9710[0], r9710[1] and the servo trace signals "Result list 1 NCK" and "Result list 1 drive" can be used. Program Continuation: Clear alarm with the RESET key. Restart part program
