Below are some error/alarm codes that you might see on your machine. Not all of them are relevant or likely to occur on Carbide 3D machines, but we include them all here to be complete.
Hard limit has been triggered. Machine position is likely lost due to sudden halt. Re-homing is highly recommended. This should never happen on a Shapeoko or Nomad.
Soft limit alarm. G-code motion target exceeds machine travel. Machine position retained. Alarm may be safely unlocked. This should never happen on a Shapeoko Nomad.
This error indicates that the machine controller was reset while in motion. Machine position was likely lost due to sudden halt so you will need to reinitialize the machine to continue working.
The probe is not in the expected initial state before starting a probing cycle. This can occur in the following cases:
The probe did not contact the workpiece within the programmed travel. This can happen in a few cases:
This indicates that the machine was reset while a homing cycle was running. The machine position will be lost, but you can re-initialize the machine to clear this error.
Safety door was opened during homing cycle. This should never happen on a Shapeoko.
Pull off travel failed to clear limit switch. Carbide Motion does several checks to avoid this error so it is very rare in a Shapeoko or Nomad CNC machine.
See toubleshooting homing for debugging help.
Could not find limit switch within search distances. This indicates that one or more of the limit switches may be disconnected or malfunctioning.
See toubleshooting homing for debugging help.
Second dual axis limit switch failed to trigger within configured search distance after first. This can only occur on a Shapeoko 5 Pro in a few circumstances:
