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 |
