42F3

Invalid coupling parameter for auxiliary axes

Beckhoff · TwinCAT 2 NC

What does 42F3 mean?

The coupling parameters configured for the auxiliary axes are inconsistent. These parameters define how auxiliary axes are linked or synchronized with other axes (e.g., master-slave, gearing), and an invalid setup will lead to improper synchronized motion, position errors, or loss of coordinated control.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Examine the coupling parameters for auxiliary axes within the kinematic or group configuration.

  2. 2

    Verify that the coupling type and all associated values are correctly defined and consistent with the machine's mechanical and control architecture.

  3. 3

    Correct any inconsistent values or configurations.

  4. 4

    Save configuration changes and restart the NC system.
