    Alarm in Bridgeport VMC 800 with Heidenhain TNC 370 CNC Control

    Hi friends!

    The subject machine displays the following alarm immediately after boot up...

    "Z-Measuring system defective A"

    The specs of the machine Z-axis are as under:

    Z-axis drive: Siemens 6SN1118-0AA11-0AA0.
    Z-axis motor: Siemens 1FTS074-0AC71-1-Z.
    Z-axis encoder: ROD 350 500 P/R.

    Any help regarding the problem will be highly appreciated. Also we need the parameters list with description of TNC 370 control. Is there any way to get the z-axis referenced without encoder? if yes how to proceed?

    Waiting for any helpful response.

    Rana Ali.

    Re: Alarm in Bridgeport VMC 800 with Heidenhain TNC 370 CNC Control

    A = Signal amplitude error
    B = Signal frequency error
    C = Error with distance-coded scale

    Possible error causes:
    - Encoder not connected
    - Cable damaged
    - Glass scale contaminated or damaged
    - Scanning head defective
    - Encoder monitoring system defective

    No axis can be used without the encoder.

    Z-Measuring system defective A = Signal amplitude error on Z-axis
    Z-Measuring system defective B = Signal frequency error on Z-axis
    Z-Measuring system defective C = Error with distance-coded scale on Z-axis

    Amplitude error causes:
    - Encoder not connected
    - Cable damaged
    - Glass scale contaminated or damaged
    - Scanning head defective
    - Encoder monitoring system defective

    Thanks again
    1) I change the machine parameter maesurong system monitoring all 000 or only z,
    than z axis proper move to reference but can't complete reference position. After that I push emergency after resetting alram z axis move other direction not in reference position side.
    And overtraval.I set again parameter.
    2)
    Dear sir I checked all connection found ok. Here I tell you that according to these manual I switch y to z connecters and also parameters .
    One time massage shift, after one time another alram display and measuring monitoring alram removed.
    ( Grass positioning error show z D)
    z axies suddenly drop when machine emergency stop release. And this alram display.
    How I can removed this alram
    Plz guide us
