Siemens 828D alarms out and won't run F360 created g-code

Hi all.

I have a problem with G-code created in F360 not running on the Siemens 828D control fitted to my XYZ 750LR VMC.

I believe the error is to do with Tool numbering and have tried several changes / variations both in F360 tool library and in the tool library on the control to overcome it none of which have been successful.

The error code is:

17190 // Channel 1: Block N24 illegal T number 1

The line of code it flags on is:

N22 G0 SUPA Z0 D0

See screen shot called “error message in simulation.jpg” that shows the above.

If I quit out of simulation mode by pressing the // soft key and hit Cycle Start the code will start to run on the machine but then stops at the same place and alarms out.

This is my first CAM programme I am trying to run on the machine and I am new to F360 and quite new to Siemens / Shopmill also.

I am using the generic Sinumerik 840D post with no changes made to it.

I have attached some other images also that show my tool library in F360 and on the machine as well as some of the first few lines of code.

An help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated – right now I have learned enough to model parts and create tool paths in F360 and love the power of the tool am stuck to run even a facing op’ on a square block because of the issue above.
