I got my CNC to read and accept code from the Behind the tap reader module. I can get code into the cnc.

Now I just sent a simple program, like

G20
G28 X0 Y0 Z0
M3 S1000



But when I try to start the program in memory mode, I get an alarm 14.


Sometimes it will say

2.14
5.14
4.14

but always alarm 14. Any Ideas?

[dcoupar]

2.14 is "Unusable G-code."
4.14 is "Unusable characters or function characters are programmed."
5.14 is "Characters other than H, D and X are punched on the tape for tool offset value."

I don't think the G20 is allowed.

Ok, do you have a copy of the manual with these error codes? I also get a 15.14. I could really use a manual.

[dcoupar]

15.14 means you didn't press RESET after editing. Info on manuals to follow.

You can download manuals here:

Is this the manual you got the alarm info on? If so I cannot get it to open.

Now getting a 5.15 code, grrrrr. Not sure what these codes are! I HATE older controllers!

Yes, that's the 3000G Operator's Manual. It opens fine for me. I tried to upload the 14 & 15 alarms, but this site isn't allowing me to. Send me a PM with your email address.

Also, why not post your program so I can see what's going on?

Here is a post that does not work. Here is a simple facing post I made. It goes all the way through the code, but when it needs to go on its first arc to go back up to face the other side of the part, it throws an 5.15 alarm.

My email is "b l a k e machine shop at yahoo.com" All one word.


Thanks so much for the help, If I could get the manual to open I would have to keep bothering ya. I apprecieate it though.

I am not even sure this is a 3000g controller. Is it? On the controll box, it says System M5G. I do not see any M5g manual though. When I turn the system on, sometimes on machines it will say when it starts up. This one does not, it just goes straight to the alarm page.
