Siemens alarm 14090: Channel %1 block %2 illegal D number

SINUMERIK channel alarm · Siemens 840D/810D powerline

What it means

The programmed D word (tool offset number) exceeds the number of offset data blocks configured for the selected tool, or is otherwise invalid in this context. Each tool carries only a limited set of D blocks per machine configuration. Use a D number within the configured range.

Likely causes

  • D number larger than configured offsets per tool
  • D word used without a matching tool selection
  • Configuration change reducing available D blocks after programs were written
