Drive lock through safety software (CC)

Heidenhain · TNC CNC Controllers

What does 231-A090 mean?

This error indicates that a drive (or multiple drives) has been locked by the safety software of the CC (Controller) module. This occurs when an emergency stop is active (due to -ES.B or -NE2 signal) and an attempt is made to switch on a drive, or due to an internal software error.

Common Causes

  • Emergency stop activated (by CC) via -ES.B or -NE2 signal.
  • Attempt to switch on a drive while the system is in an 'emergency stop' condition.
  • Internal software error within the CC module.

Repair Steps & Checklist

  2. 2

    Check the wiring of the emergency stop circuit to the CC module for integrity, shorts, or breaks.

  3. 3
