Doosan CNC Alarm Codes Guide - Fanuc and i Series Controls

⚡ Quick Answer

Doosan CNC machine alarm codes for Puma, DNM, and Lynx series with Fanuc 0i and 31i controls: common alarms, causes, and troubleshooting steps.

⚡ AT A GLANCEScroll down for full repair guide
What it meansDoosan alarm codes usually come from either Fanuc NC and servo ranges or Doosan PLC/PMC macro alarms on Puma, DNM, and Lynx machines.
Most likely causeCommon faults include servo drive alarms, spindle speed deviation, cabinet overheat, hydraulic pressure low, spindle oil low, ATC cycle faults, and turret indexing faults.
First checkIdentify whether the code is Fanuc or Doosan PMC, then check hydraulic oil and pump operation, spindle oil, ATC position sensors, turret motor position, servo drives, and cooling.
⏱Repair time10-30 minutes for alarm-source, oil, hydraulic, and reset checks; 30-90 minutes for ATC, turret, servo, spindle, or sensor repair
🔧Part neededDoosan CNC hydraulic filter, turret position sensor, ATC servo motor, CNC spindle oil

Doosan CNC Alarm Codes — Quick Reference

Doosan CNC machines (Puma lathes, DNM machining centers, Lynx lathes) primarily use Fanuc 0iF, 31iA, and 31iB controls. Alarms come from two sources: Fanuc NC alarms and Doosan PLC macro alarms.

Alarm Sources

Alarm RangeSource
1–999Fanuc NC alarms
1000–1999Fanuc Servo alarms
5000–5999Fanuc system alarms
9001–9999Doosan PLC (PMC) macro alarms — machine-specific

Most Common Doosan-Specific Alarms

Alarm 9001 — Hydraulic Pressure Low

Doosan machines (especially Puma lathes) use a hydraulic system for the chuck, tailstock, and turret. If hydraulic pressure drops below the setpoint, this alarm fires. Check:

  1. Hydraulic oil level in the tank (sight glass on tank)
  2. Hydraulic pump operation — is it running?
  3. Hydraulic pressure switch and sensor
  4. Hydraulic filter condition (replace if maintenance is due)

Alarm 9050 — Spindle Oil Low

The spindle lubrication oil level is below the minimum. Check the spindle lubrication reservoir (typically at the top of the headstock or separate oil mist unit). Add the correct spindle oil grade. Do not run the machine on low spindle oil — it damages spindle bearings.

Alarm 9100 — ATC (Tool Changer) Fault

The automatic tool changer did not complete its indexing cycle. Check for:

Reading Doosan PMC Alarms

PMC alarms on Doosan machines show as “PMC ALARM” followed by the alarm number. To see the alarm message:

  1. Press OFFSET/SETTING → PMC → ALARM
  2. The alarm text explains the condition and required action

Quick FAQ

Where do Doosan CNC alarms usually come from?

Doosan CNC alarms usually come from either the Fanuc NC control or Doosan PLC/PMC macro logic. Fanuc ranges cover NC, servo, and system alarms, while 9001-9999 alarms are commonly machine-specific PMC alarms.

What does Doosan alarm 9001 mean?

Doosan alarm 9001 usually means hydraulic pressure is low. Check the hydraulic oil level, confirm the pump is running, inspect the pressure switch or sensor, and replace the hydraulic filter if maintenance is due.

What should I check for a Doosan ATC fault?

For a Doosan ATC fault, inspect the tool changer mechanism for a stuck tool, check ATC position sensors, confirm hydraulic pressure if the changer is hydraulically actuated, and look for a drive fault on the ATC servo motor.
