Fagor alarm 120: Checksum error recovering machine parameters from EEPROM
Fagor legacy CNC error (8025/8040/8020) · Fagor legacy
What it means
While restoring the locked machine parameters, decoded-M table and leadscrew compensation tables from EEPROM, the checksum did not match, so the recovered data cannot be trusted. The companion error 119 covers the failure to WRITE these areas; 120 covers a bad READ-BACK.
Likely causes
- EEPROM cells worn after decades of rewrite cycles
- interrupted save (error 119) leaving a partially written image
- internal hardware fault in the EEPROM path
Triage note: Keep a paper/DNC copy of all locked parameters for this generation; EEPROM loss on a 40-year-old control is a when, not an if.
