post the code that the alarm is on, your code is more than likely wrong or if your using cutter comp your tool size is wrong
Alarm #302 - INVALID R IN G02 OR G03 - R must be greater than or equal to half the distance from start to end with an accuracy of 0.0010 inches (0.010 mm.). Check your geometry.
Typical Haas Speak, with no explanation.
I was using my TM-1 today to engrave multiple pieces of Aluminum set up on a fixture made for the purpose. I used the HAAS Intuitive Programming Engraving setup, something I've used many times before and never had any trouble with it.
While away from the machine for about 5 minutes, there was a momentary power outage. When I came back to the machine, it was off, so I restarted it and homed it. Now I keep getting this Alarm #302, and the engraving program no longer works.
It seems like the power outage/surge, screwed something up.
Can anyone explain what this alarm means in relation to an engraving program, and suggest how to get the machine to engrave again? The tool just comes down and cuts in a small circle; no lettering at all. Seems like something in the control is goofy.
Thanks for any help! Joe

Well, if the code is wrong he'll have to get the macros from Haas (or maybe someone has them on a PC somewhere?), and G47, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't use any cutter comp, only centerline paths. I haven't used engraving in IPS, only hand coded G47 lines so I may be wrong there.
Gunsmither, have you tried simply re creating the program from scratch and see if somehow the old one got corrupted? I bet that fixes it.
Somehow setting #29 got switched to "on", instead of "off". This controls wether or not the incremental mode is continuous. I recall looking at this setting, but don't recall changing it to "on", which screwed up the program.
When I left the machine for a few minutes and the power died, it seems like it changed setting 29 by itself. More likely, I had a total brain drain and changed the setting without realizing it.
I checked the tool offset as per suggestions to no avail, then discovered the setting 29 screwup. My bad apparently!
I had visions of an expensive repair bill due to a power outage blowing something on the machine.
I tried recreating the program, tool size offset, etc. I was tearing my hair out before finally figuring out what was wrong. All is well, and the machine is running as per design. It was just this dummy pretending to know how to run the thing!
I thank you gentlemen for the suggestions! Joe
