Solution

Class

Check and modify NC program. The count variable in a FOR loop must have a valid variable name:

Any parameter: starts with character ‘P’ (or ‘R’, if permitted)

Any user-defined variable: starts with V.P., V.L., V.S.

Predefined variables or variables created in the system configuration: start with V.A., V.G., V.E. (Caution: not all variables allow write access!!!)

Error type

Abort NC program processing.
