Fanuc alarm
Alarms numbered 1000 and up (often shown as EX alarms) are not Fanuc's.
Alarms numbered 1000 and up (often shown as EX alarms) are not Fanuc's. They are written by your machine builder in the PMC ladder program, so the same number means different things on a Haas, Mori Seiki, Doosan or Okuma Fanuc machine. Common ones are low air, low lube, coolant level, door interlocks and tool changer positions.
Lock out the machine before reaching into it. Never bypass a door switch or interlock to clear an alarm.
When the message points to a sensor or tool changer that won't reach position, a tech who knows your machine builder's ladder can find it fast.

Low air pressure. Low lube or hydraulic level. Door or guard switch open. Tool changer, turret or pallet sensor not made. Chip conveyor or coolant pump overload.
Read the full text on the screen. It usually names the switch or system. Look up the number in your machine builder's manual, not Fanuc's. Check air, lube, coolant and doors first. When the message points to a sensor or tool changer that won't reach position, a tech who knows your machine builder's ladder can find it fast.
Alarm numbers and text can differ by control model, software version and machine builder. This page is a starting point from people who have worked on these machines, not a replacement for your machine builder's manual.
