You couldn't get a more generic alarm....

Basically, a condition is not being met by machine or program so the machine stops and basically is in a "feed hold" mode.

My guess.... if you're programming in Mazatrol, check you surface speed you programmed this tool for.... It may calculate to something faster than your spindle can go. Since the tool never attains the the programmed speed... the program doesn't continue. This usually gets many people.......

Another one is coolant type..... like trying to command a coolant/air command your machine doesn't have.
