Okuma Alarm A-1122 – Safety Controller Error
Okuma Alarm A-1122 indicates a malfunction in the machine’s safety controller system.
This alarm occurs when the CNC control detects an error in the safety controller responsible for supervising critical safety functions of the machine.
The safety controller monitors various safety-related signals such as emergency stop circuits, door interlocks, safety relays, and other protective systems. If the controller detects an internal fault or receives invalid safety signals, the CNC system triggers Alarm A-1122 to prevent unsafe machine operation.

-
Internal fault in the safety controller module
-
Failure of safety relays or safety circuits
