Alarms and Errors - Spark-Concepts/xPro-V5 GitHub Wiki

The xPRO V5 will report issues using Alarms and Errors. Alarms report issues related to motion - hard limits hit, probe not found, etc. Errors report issues with processes - invalid Gcode, Sd card issues, etc. Below you can find a list of all the Alarm and Error IDs and the associated meanings.


Alarms

Alarm Code Alarm Message Alarm Description
1 Hard limit Hard limit has been triggered. Machine position is likely lost due to sudden halt. Re-homing is highly recommended.
2 Soft limit Soft limit alarm. G-code motion target exceeds machine travel. Machine position retained. Alarm may be safely unlocked.
3 Abort during cycle Reset while in motion. Machine position is likely lost due to sudden halt. Re-homing is highly recommended.
4 Probe fail Probe fail. Probe is not in the expected initial state before starting probe cycle when G38.2 and G38.3 is not triggered and G38.4 and G38.5 is triggered.
5 Probe fail Probe fail. Probe did not contact the workpiece within the programmed travel for G38.2 and G38.4.
6 Homing fail Homing fail. The active homing cycle was reset.
7 Homing fail Homing fail. Safety door was opened during homing cycle.
8 Homing fail Homing fail. Pull off travel failed to clear limit switch. Try increasing pull-off setting or check wiring.
9 Homing fail Homing fail. Could not find limit switch within search distances. Try increasing max travel, decreasing pull-off distance, or check wiring.

Errors

Error Code Error Message Error Description
1 Expected command letter G-code words consist of a letter and a value. Letter was not found.
2 Bad number format Missing the expected G-code word value or numeric value format is not valid.
3 Invalid statement Grbl '$' system command was not recognized or supported.
4 Value < 0 Negative value received for an expected positive value.
5 Setting disabled Homing cycle failure. Homing is not enabled via settings.
6 Value < 3 usec Minimum step pulse time must be greater than 3usec.
7 EEPROM read fail. Using defaults An EEPROM read failed. Auto-restoring affected EEPROM to default values.
8 Not idle Grbl '$' command cannot be used unless Grbl is IDLE. Ensures smooth operation during a job.
9 G-code lock G-code commands are locked out during alarm or jog state.
10 Homing not enabled Soft limits cannot be enabled without homing also enabled.
11 Line overflow Max characters per line exceeded. Received command line was not executed.
12 Step rate > 30kHz Grbl '$' setting value cause the step rate to exceed the maximum supported.
13 Check Door Safety door detected as opened and door state initiated.
14 Line length exceeded Build info or startup line exceeded EEPROM line length limit. Line not stored.
15 Travel exceeded Jog target exceeds machine travel. Jog command has been ignored.
16 Invalid jog command Jog command has no '=' or contains prohibited g-code.
17 Setting disabled Laser mode requires PWM output.
18 No Homing/Cycle defined in settings Set some $homing/CycleX= Settings
20 Unsupported command Unsupported or invalid g-code command found in block.
21 Modal group violation More than one g-code command from same modal group found in block.
22 Undefined feed rate Feed rate has not yet been set or is undefined.
23 Invalid gcode ID:23 G-code command in block requires an integer value.
24 Invalid gcode ID:24 More than one g-code command that requires axis words found in block.
25 Invalid gcode ID:25 Repeated g-code word found in block.
26 Invalid gcode ID:26 No axis words found in block for g-code command or current modal state which requires them.
27 Invalid gcode ID:27 Line number value is invalid.
28 Invalid gcode ID:28 G-code command is missing a required value word.
29 Invalid gcode ID:29 G59.x work coordinate systems are not supported.
30 Invalid gcode ID:30 G53 only allowed with G0 and G1 motion modes.
31 Invalid gcode ID:31 Axis words found in block when no command or current modal state uses them.
32 Invalid gcode ID:32 G2 and G3 arcs require at least one in-plane axis word.
33 Invalid gcode ID:33 Motion command target is invalid.
34 Invalid gcode ID:34 Arc radius value is invalid.
35 Invalid gcode ID:35 G2 and G3 arcs require at least one in-plane offset word.
36 Invalid gcode ID:36 Unused value words found in block.
37 Invalid gcode ID:37 G43.1 dynamic tool length offset is not assigned to configured tool length axis.
38 Invalid gcode ID:38 Tool number greater than max supported value.
39 Parameter P exceeded max ID:39 Parameter P exceeded max
