Getting error "can't do that (EMC_TRAJ_SET_TELEOP_ENABLE) in auto mode"

Hello,

I have received the error "can't do that (EMC_TRAJ_SET_TELEOP_ENABLE) in auto mode with interpreter idle" at random points over the course of a process I have been trying to run. The process takes about 20-30 minutes to complete so I haven't been lucky enough to get all the way through it without this error appearing, but occasionally it will run almost all the way through before the error stops the process. I am running Autodesk Fusion generated g-code on a 3-axis CNC. Does anyone know what this error message is referring to, or how to solve the problem causing it?

Thank you,
Jesse

andypugh,

Certainly. I am trying to mill out the inside of a 4" x 4" x 4" block made of UHMW plastic using G-code generated from uploading the part to Autodesk Fusion 360 and taking the g-code file over to my LinuxCNC via flash drive. After copying the file to the Linux computer, I run the program containing the g-code. Most days the machine runs without error, but some days the program will slow to a stop at random (always different) lines and the machine will give that error.
Simply trying to rerun the program after switching the machine from "run" to "halt" and back causes the error to appear again before the process can finish, but usually not until a few hundred lines of code are run. Once the error has appeared, I am only able to complete the program after completely closing out of LinuxCNC software and opening it back up.
Nothing is being touched on the computer while the program is running. I simply put up the guard, press "run", and step away.

No, I haven't used any add-ins or remapped G-codes. There is no tool change involved in my process (or tool changer on the machine). Am I correct in my understanding that the machine seems to be receiving a command to do something besides whats written in the g-code during its process? Could an ancient keyboard potentially accidentally sending keystrokes be the problem?

I don't have a touchscreen. I'll give it a shot without the keyboard next time I run into the error. Thank you!

I'm running for the first time in the same error. I admit that I didn't run the software with mill 1,5 years before without any errors.
Since then there where several updates.

Nevertheless: I start LinuxCNC after having loaded the data-file (appended). I runs till line 190 and stops.
No touching a keyboard or mouse. This happened every time at the same position.
I had no time to test my old files that already succeeded. I append the screenshot, so you can see the messages and the error.
I'll try later on to have a test run on a simulation machine.

Any hints or solutions are welcome.
All the best for the new year 2018!

I didn't have any luck with unplugging the keyboard to correct this error, it still persists. The next thought I had about what could be causing it could be an inconsistent power supply to the machine. It operates close in proximity to an industrial paint booth, and the static electricity from it can cause electrical disturbance in the CNC. I'm going to try a more consistent supply voltage to see if I have more luck.
