Fagor 8055T Baffled by 1042 error

[alphonso]

1042 = Wrong parameter value in canned cycle.

G68 X3.97 Z14.3361 C.05 L.02 M.005 H.01 S2190 E2230

N2190 G1 X3.97 Z14.336
N2200 X3.5 Z13.006
N2210 Z11.51
N2220 X3.97 Z9.68
N2230 Z9.18

X and Z= start of profile
C= depth of cut. Must be positive
L= X stock offset. Must be positive
M= Z stock offset. Must be positive
H= finish pass feed rate
S and E=profile blocks start and end

Can't figure out what the control does not like about the code. FWIW, the profile is non-monotonous. Never had this show up before.

My Fagor is very limited at best and even what I do have was on a mill with a CAM posted program. But what I seem to remember was G modal was not really modal and required on each line.

I don't think G modality is the problem. There are 4 other rough turning canned cycles in this program and they all work. The 1042 error explanation is very specific to the canned cycle call block.

Found the problem. Seems totally off the wall. Tool geometry table had a zero for NOSEW(length of side of insert). WTF, how did that happen?? Changed it to a value and control is happy.

SMH - Where do those error messages come from that have absolutely nothing to do with what is actually wrong? I've seen it enough to start looking elsewhere when the first look turns up nothing sensible.
