We just set up a used Mazak 8SP lathe and when trying to run a program we receive error 216 "Start Misoperation"

I have chosen existing programs and the simulation runs fine, however when you single block through the program, the turret will move to its proper X and Z position and rotates to the proper tool, however the spindle does not come on and the gives the alarm as listed above.

Attached are pictures of one program, created with Mazatrol and also the command screen. I have even created a basic edge facing program and still get the same alarm.

One side note, is the machine originally had the bar feeder hooked up, but we currently do not have it hooked up. Is there a parameter the needs to be turned off and that is causing the alarm?

Any help would be appreciated.

Barrier Cancel is not on and check your Tool Definition page, I think you didn't define the tool.

Hi There;
As someone eles mention it is possible that you did not describe your tooling info yet.
In order for Mazatrol programs to work you must create a tool data file. The Bar feeder operation such as LNS type on a T2 control would not be causing this .
Go to your Tool Data page and register the tool on your turret. Then verified that in your program you are calling for the tool or tools that are being commanded.

Thanks for the suggestions, I went to check the areas suggest but had problems powering up the machine today.

It appeared that the tools were setup but I check once we get the lathe back up.

Thanks
