CANNOT USE TOOL TIP PT CONTROL (WNo., NNo., BNo.)
What it means
1. A command of tool tip point control is given under incompatible modal conditions. 2. A G43.5 command is given in spite of the selection of the workpiece coordinate system for programming. 3. Under selection of the G-code system for turning machines, a command of tool tip point control is given with the parameter setting “F161 bit 1 = 0 (Geometric offset by logically shifting the coordinate system).” 4. A command of circular interpolation is given under the mode of G43.5 or with the table coordinate system selected for programming.
What to do
- 11.
- 2Check the current modal conditions and cancel the unsuitable mode.
- 32.
- 4Use the other preparatory function G43.4, or select the table coordinate system for programming.
- 53.
- 6Set F161 bit 1 to “1” (Geometric offset by physically shifting the tool).
- 74.
- 8To use circular interpolation, give a G43.4 command, or select the workpiece coordinate system for programming.
