8-3. Responding to an Error Message
This describes the error messages that may appear on the machine's display, and how to take action to remedy the
problem. If an error message not listed here appears, contact your authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer or Roland DG
Corp. service center.
1. Command Not Recognized
A command that cannot be interpreted was received from the computer.
This occurs when the program's setting does not match the machine's command set. Check the program's settings for the model
and the like.
This may also be displayed when a problem such as faulty contact by the connector cable impedes communication. Check the
connector cable.
To recover from an error, press the [ENTER/PAUSE] button to display the pause menu, then choose either [CONTINUE] or
[STOP]. There may be cases where you can resume operation by selecting [CONTINUE], but because there is a possibility of
faulty operation, you should reset the power.
A command that cannot be interpreted occurred in a sequence.
This occurs when an incorrect command is encountered during sequence execution by the teaching feature. A major cause of this
is corruption of the sequence due to a problem with the memory card or the like. Re-create the sequence.
Press the [ENTER/PAUSE] button to pause the machine and clear the error.
2. Wrong Number of Parameters
The number of parameters for a command sent from the computer was different from the number that can
be specified.
This occurs when a program setting is not matched to the machine. Check the program's settings for the model and the like.
This may also be displayed when a problem such as faulty contact by the connector cable impedes communication. Check the
connector cable.
To recover from an error, press the [ENTER/PAUSE] button to display the pause menu, then choose either [CONTINUE] or
[STOP]. There may be cases where you can resume operation by selecting [CONTINUE], but because there is a possibility of
faulty operation, you should reset the power.
A command that cannot be interpreted occurred in a sequence.
The remedy is the same as for error 1.
3. Bad Parameter
The value of a specified parameter for a command sent from the computer exceeded the permitted value.
This occurs when a program setting is not matched to the machine. Check the program's settings for the model and the like.
This occurs when the machine receives a command that attempts to lower the Z axis to a position that exceeds the machine's
cutting range. Check the cutting parameters and the Z0 position.
This may also be displayed when a problem such as faulty contact by the connector cable impedes communication. Check the
connector cable.
To recover from an error, press the [ENTER/PAUSE] button to display the pause menu, then choose either [CONTINUE] or
[STOP]. There may be cases where you can resume operation by selecting [CONTINUE], but because there is a possibility of
faulty operation, you should reset the power.
A command that cannot be interpreted occurred in a sequence.
The remedy is the same as for error 1.
4. I/O Err: Output Request Overlap
An output request command was received before execution of another output request command ended.
This is an error associated with a device control command.
This occurs when a program setting is not matched to the machine. Check the program's settings for the model and the like.
To recover from an error, press the [ENTER/PAUSE] button to display the pause menu, then choose either [CONTINUE] or
[STOP].
