Faults and alarms
F01034 Units changeover: Calculation parameter values after reference value change unsuc-
cessful
Reaction: NONE
Cause: The change of a reference parameter meant that for an involved parameter the selected value was not able to be
recalculated in the per unit representation. The change was rejected and the original parameter value restored.
Parameter whose value was not able to be re-calculated.
Remedy: Select the value of the reference parameter such that the parameter involved can be calculated in the per unit rep-
resentation.
A01035 (F) ACX: Boot from the back-up parameter back-up files
Message value: %1
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: When the Control Unit is booted, no complete data set was found from the parameter back-up files. The last time
that the parameterization was saved, it was not completely carried out. Instead, a back-up data set or a back-up
parameter back-up file is downloaded.
Alarm value (r2124, interpret hexadecimal):
Remedy: If you have saved the project using the commissioning software, carry out a new download for your project. Save
using the function "Copy RAM to ROM" or with p0977 = 1 so that all of the parameter files are again completely writ-
ten to the non-volatile memory.

Acknowl. upon F: IMMEDIATELY
F01036 (A) ACX: Parameter back-up file missing

Message value: %1
Reaction: NONE (OFF1, OFF2, OFF3)
Cause: When downloading the device parameterization, a parameter back-up file associated with a drive object cannot be
found. Neither a PSxxxyyy.ACX, a PSxxxyyy.NEW nor a PSxxxyyy.BAK parameter back-up file exists in the non-
volatile memory for this drive object.
Byte 1: yyy in the file name PSxxxyyy.ACX
yyy = 000 --> consistency back-up file
yyy = 001 ... 062 --> drive object number
yyy = 099 --> PROFIBUS parameter back-up file
Byte 2, 3, 4:
Remedy: If you have saved the project data using the commissioning software, carry out a new download for your project.
Save using the function "Copy RAM to ROM" or with p0977 = 1 so that all of the parameter files are again completely
written to the non-volatile memory.
If you have not saved the project data, then first commissioning of the system has to be carried out again.

Faults and alarms
F01037 (A) ACX: Re-naming the parameter back-up file unsuccessful

Message value: %1
Cause: Re-naming after saving a parameter back-up file in the non-volatile memory was unsuccessful.
One of the parameter back-up files to be re-named had the "read only" attribute. The parameter back-up files are
saved in the directory \USER\SINAMICS\DATA.
It is possible that the non-volatile memory is defective.
Byte 1: yyy in the file names PSxxxyyy.* or CAxxxyyy.* or CCxxxyyy.*
yyy = 099 --> PROFIBUS parameter back-up file PSxxx099.*
Byte 2: xxx in the file name PSxxxyyy.*
xxx = 000 --> data save started with p0977 = 1
Byte 4, 3:
Remedy: - check whether one of the files to be overwritten has the attribute "read only" and change this file attribute to "writ-
able". Check all of the files (PSxxxyyy.*, CCxxxyyy.*, CAxxxyyy.*) that belong to drive yyy designated in the fault
value.
- replace the memory card or Control Unit.
F01038 (A) ACX: Loading the parameter back-up file unsuccessful

Message value: %1
Cause: An error has occurred when downloading PSxxxyyy.ACX or PTxxxyyy.ACX files from the non-volatile memory.
Byte 1: yyy in the file name PSxxxyyy.ACX
yyy = 001 ... 062 --> drive object number
yyy = 099 --> PROFIBUS parameter back-up file
Byte 4, 3, 2:
Remedy: - If you have saved the project data using the commissioning software, carry out a new download for your project.
Save using the function "Copy RAM to ROM" or with p0977 = 1 so that all of the parameter files are again completely
written to the non-volatile memory.

F01355 Topology: Actual topology changed

Message value: %1
Reaction: NONE
Cause: The device target topology (p0099) does not correspond to the device actual topology (r0098).
The fault only occurs if the topology was commissioned using the automatic internal device mechanism and not using
the commissioning software.

Faults and alarms
Remedy: One of the following counter-measures can be selected if no faults have occurred in the topology detection itself:
If commissioning was still not completed:
- carry out a self-commissioning routine (starting from p0009 = 1).
General: Set p0099 to r0098, set p0009 to 0; for existing Motor Modules, this results in servo drives being automat-
ically generated (p0107).
Generating servo drives: Set p0097 to 1, set p0009 to 0.
Generating vector drives: Set p0097 to 2, set p0009 to 0.
Generating vector drives with parallel circuit: Set p0097 to 12, set p0009 to 0.
In order to set configurations in p0108, before setting p0009 to 0, it is possible to first set p0009 to 2 and modify
p0108. The index corresponds to the drive object (p0107).
If commissioning was already completed:
- re-establish the original connections and re-connect power to the Control Unit.
- restore the factory setting for the complete equipment (all of the drives) and allow automatic self-commissioning
again.
- change the device parameterization to match the connections (this is only possible using the commissioning soft-
ware).
Notice:
Topology changes that result in this fault being generated cannot be accepted by the automatic function in the
device, but must be transferred using the commissioning software and parameter download. The automatic function
in the device only allows constant topology to be used. Otherwise, when the topology is changed, all of the previous
parameter settings are lost and replaced by the factory setting.

- r9498[0...29]: List of the BI/CI parameters involved.
- r9499[0...29]: List of the associated BO/CO parameters.

Faults and alarms
Remedy: The alarm automatically disappears as soon as no BICO interconnection (value = 0) is entered in r9498[29] and
r9499[29].
Notice:
When re-activating the drive object, all BICO interconnections should be checked and if required, re-established.
F01510 BICO: Signal source is not float type

Reaction: NONE
Cause: The requested connector output does not have the correct data type. This interconnection is not established.
Parameter number to which an interconnection should be made (connector output).
Remedy: Interconnect this connector input with a connector output having a float data type.
F01511 (A) BICO: Interconnection between different normalizations

Reaction: NONE
Cause: The requested interconnection was established. However, a conversion is made between the BICO output and BICO
input using the reference values.
- the BICO output has different normalized units than the BICO input.
- message only for interconnections within a drive object.
Example:
The BICO output has, as normalized unit, voltage and the BICO input has current.
This means that the factor p2002 (contains the reference value for current) / p2001 (contains the reference value for
voltage) is calculated between the BICO output and BICO input.
Parameter number of the BICO input (signal sink).
Remedy: No correction needed.
F01512 BICO: No normalization available

Message value: %1
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: An attempt was made to determine a conversion factor for a normalization that does not exist.
Unit (e.g. corresponding to SPEED) for which an attempt was made to determine a factor.
Remedy: Apply normalization or check the transfer value.

Faults and alarms
F01513 (A) BICO: Spanning DO between different normalizations

Reaction: NONE
Cause: The requested interconnection was established. However, a conversion is made between the BICO output and BICO
input using the reference values.
An interconnection is made between different drive objects and the BICO output has different normalized units than
the BICO input or the normalized units are the same but the reference values are different.
Example:
The BICO output has, as standard unit, voltage and the BICO input has current; both lie in different drive objects.
This means that the factor p2002 (contains the reference value for current) / p2001 (contains the reference value for
voltage) is calculated between the BICO output and BICO input.
A01514 (F) BICO: Error when writing during a reconnect

Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: During a reconnect operation (e.g. while booting or downloading - but can also occur in normal operation) a param-
eter was not able to be written to.
Example:
When writing to a double word BICO input in the second index, the memory areas overlap (e.g. p8861). The param-
eter is then reset to the factory setting.
F01515 (A) BICO: Writing to parameter not permitted as the master control is active
Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Cause: While changing the number of CDS or when copying from CDS, the master control was active.

F01651 SI CU: Synchronization safety time slices unsuccessful

Message value: %1
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: The "Safety Integrated" function requires a synchronization of the safety time slices between the Control Unit (CU)
and Motor Module (MM) and between the Control Unit and the higher-level control. This synchronization routine was
unsuccessful.
Note:
150: Fault in the synchronization to the PROFIBUS master.

See also: p9510 (SI Motion clock-cycle synchronous PROFIBUS master)

Faults and alarms

- check the setting of p9510 (SI Motion clock-cycle synchronous PROFIBUS master) and if required, correct.
General:
- upgrade the software of the higher-level control.
Note:
CU: Control Unit
MM: Motor Module
F01652 SI CU: Illegal monitoring clock cycle

Message value: %1
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: One of the Safety Integrated monitoring clock cycles is not permissible:
- the drive-based monitoring clock cycle cannot be maintained due to the communication conditions required in the
system.
- the monitoring clock cycle for safe motion monitoring functions with the higher-level control is not permissible
(p9500).
- The sampling time for the current controller (p0112, p0115) cannot be supported.
Note:
- for enabled drive-based SI monitoring (p9601/p9801 > 0):
Minimum setting for the monitoring clock cycle (in μs).
- with the motion monitoring function enabled (p9501 > 0):
100: No matching monitoring clock cycle was able to be found.
101: The monitoring clock cycle is not an integer multiple of the actual value sensing clock cycle.
102: An error has occurred when transferring the DP clock cycle to the Motor Module (MM).
103: An error has occurred when transferring the DP clock cycle to the Sensor Module.
104,105:
- Four times the sampling time of the current controller is greater than 1 ms when operating with a non-clock-cycle
synchronous PROFIBUS.
- Four times the sampling time of the current controller is greater than the DP clock cycle when operating with a clock-
cycle synchronous PROFIBUS.
- The DP clock cycle is not an integer multiple of the sampling time of the current controller.
106: The monitoring clock cycle does not match the monitoring clock cycle of the TM54F.
107: Four times the sampling time of the current controller is greater than the actual value sensing clock cycle
(p9511) or
the actual value sensing clock cycle is not an integer multiple of the sampling time of the current controller.
108: The parameterized actual value sensing clock cycle cannot be set on this component

Faults and alarms
Remedy: For enabled drive-based SI monitoring (p9601/p9801 > 0):

For enabled motion monitoring function (p9501 > 0):
- correct the monitoring clock cycle (p9500) and carry out POWER ON.
Re fault value 101:
- the actual value sensing clock cycle is per default the position control clock cycle / DP clock cycle.
- for the drive-based motion monitoring functions (p9601/p9801bit 2 = 1) the
actual value sensing clock cycle can be directly parameterized in p9511/p9311.
- set a separate actual value sensing clock cycle in p9511.
- restrict operation to a maximum of two vector drives. For the standard settings in p0112, p0115, the current con-
troller sampling time is automatically reduced to 250 μs. If the standard values were changed, then the current con-
troller sampling time (p0112, p0115) should be appropriately set.
- increase the DP clock cycle for operation with a clock-cycle synchronous PROFIBUS so that there is a multiple
clock cycle ratio of at least 4:1 between the DP clock cycle and the current controller sampling time.
Re fault value 106:
- set the parameters for the monitoring clock cycles the same (p10000 and p9500 / p9300).
Re fault value 107:
- set an actual value sensing clock cycle in p9511 that matches the current control clock cycle.
Re fault value 108:
- set a suitable actual value sensing clock cycle in p9511.
- If the DP clock cycle is used as the actual value sensing clock cycle for operation with clock-cycle synchronous
PROFIBUS (p9511 = 0), a suitable DP clock cycle must be configured.
A suitable multiple of the DP clock cycle (e.g. 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10) must be parameterized on the D410.
Otherwise, the clock cycle must be set to less than 8 ms.

F01663 SI CU: Copying the SI parameters rejected

Message value: -
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: One of the following values is saved in p9700 or was entered offline: 87 or 208. This is the reason that when booting,
an attempt is made to copy the SI parameters from the Control Unit to the Motor Module. However, no safety-relevant
function has been selected on the Control Unit (p9501 = 0, p9601 = 0). This is the reason that copying is not possible.
Note:
See also: p9700 (SI Motion copy function)
Remedy: - Set p9700 to 0.
- Check p9501 and p9601 and if required, correct.
- Restart the copying function by entering the corresponding value into p9700.
F01664 SI CU: No automatic firmware update

Message value: %1
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: When booting, parameter p7826 "automatic firmware update" did not have the value "1" that is required for the auto-
matic firmware upgrade/downgrade. This means that when the safety functions are enabled, an inadmissible com-
bination of versions can occur.
Note:
Remedy: For enabled drive-based SI monitoring:
1. Set parameter p7826 to the value 1
2. Save the parameter (p0977 = 1) and carry out a power-on reset
When de-activating the drive-based SI monitoring (p9601 = 0), the alarm can be acknowledged after exiting the

A01666 (F) SI Motion CU: Steady-state (static) 1 signal at the F-DI for safety-relevant acknowl-
edgement
Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: A logical 1 signal is present at the F-DI configured in p10006 for more than 10 seconds. A logical 0 signal must be
present statically (steady-state) at the F-DI. This avoids unintentional safety-relevant acknowledgement (or the
"Internal Event Acknowledge" signal) if a wire breaks or one of the two digital inputs bounces.
Remedy: Set F-DI (see p10006) to logical 0 signal.
F01670 SI Motion: Invalid parameterization Sensor Module

Message value: %1
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: The parameterization of a Sensor Module used for Safety Integrated is not permissible.
Note:
1: No encoder was parameterized for Safety Integrated.
2: An encoder was parameterized for Safety Integrated that does not have an A/B track (sine/cosine).
3: The encoder data set selected for Safety Integrated is still not valid.
4: A communication error with the encoder has occurred.
10: For an encoder used for Safety Integrated, not all of the Drive Data Sets (DDS) are assigned to the same Encoder
Data Set (EDS) (p0187 ... p0189).
Remedy: Re fault value = 1, 2:
- use and parameterize an encoder that Safety Integrated supports (encoder with track A/B sine-wave, p0404.4 = 1).
Re fault value = 3:
- check whether the drive or drive commissioning function is active and if required, exit this (p0009 = p00010 = 0),
save the parameters (p0971 = 1) and carry out a POWER ON
Re fault value = 4:
- check whether there is a DRIVE-CLiQ communication error between the Control Unit and the Sensor Module

Note:
See also: p9531 (SI Motion SLS (SG) limit values (Control Unit))
F01686 SI Motion: Illegal parameterization cam position

Message value: %1
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: At least one enabled "Safety Cam" (SCA) is parameterized in p9536 or p9537 too close to the tolerance range around
the modulo position.
The following conditions must be complied with to assign cams to a cam track:
- the cam length of cam x = p9536[x]-p9537[x] must be greater or equal to the cam tolerance + the position tolerance
(= p9540 + p9542). This also means that for cams on a cam track, the minus position value must be less than the
plus position value.
- the distance between 2 cams x and y (minus position value[y] - plus position value[x] = p9537[y] - p9536[x]) on a
cam track must be greater than or equal to the cam tolerance + position tolerance (= p9540 + p9542).
Note:
Number of the "Safe Cam" with an illegal position.
Remedy: Correct the cam position and carry out a POWER ON.

Remedy: Correct the modulo value for SCA and carry out a POWER ON.
Note:
See also: p9505 (SI Motion SCA (SN) modulo value (Control Unit))
F01688 SI Motion CU: Actual value synchronization not permissible

Message value: -
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: - It is not permissible to enable actual value synchronization for a 1-encoder system.
- It is not permissible to simultaneously enable the actual value synchronization and a monitoring function with abso-
lute reference (SCA/SLP).
Note:
Remedy: - Either select the "actual value synchronization" function or parameterize a 2-encoder system.
- Either de-select the function "actual value synchronization" or the monitoring functions with absolute reference
(SCA/SLP) and carry out a POWER ON.
Note:
C01689 SI Motion: Axis re-configured

Reaction: OFF2
Cause: The axis configuration was changed (e.g. changeover between linear axis and rotary axis).
Parameter p0108.13 is internally set to the correct value.
Note:
Parameter number of parameter that initiated the change.
See also: p9502 (SI Motion axis type (Control Unit))
Remedy: The following should be carried out after the changeover:
- exit the safety commissioning mode (p0010).
- save all parameters (p0977 = 1 or "copy RAM to ROM").
Once the Control Unit has been switched on, safety message F01680 or F30680 indicates that the checksums in
r9398[0] and r9728[0] have changed in the drive. The following must, therefore, be carried out:
- activate safety commissioning mode again.
- complete safety commissioning of the drive.
- exit the safety commissioning mode (p0010).
- save all parameters (p0977 = 1 or "copy RAM to ROM").
Note:
For the commissioning software, the units are only consistently displayed after a project upload.

Re fault value = 1:
- deselect functions that are not required and that take up memory space in the NVRAM.
A01691 (F) SI Motion: Ti and To unsuitable for DP cycle

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The configured times for PROFIBUS communication are not permitted and the DP cycle is used as the actual value
acquisition cycle for the safe movement monitoring functions:
Isochronous PROFIBUS: the total of Ti and To is too high for the set DP cycle. The DP cycle should be at least 1
current controller cycle greater than the sum of Ti and To.
Non-isochronous PROFIBUS: the DP cycle must be at least 4 x current controller cycle.
Remedy: Configure Ti and To low so that they are suitable for the DP cycle or increase the DP cycle time.
Alternative when drive-based SI monitoring is enabled (p9601/p9801 > 0):
Use the actual value acquisition cycle p9511/p9311 and, in turn, set independently from DP cycle.

Re fault value = 1 ... 999:
- if the fault value is listed under cause: Check the crosswise compared parameters to which the fault value refers.
- copy the safety parameters.
- correction of the encoder evaluation. The actual values differ as a result of mechanical faults (V belts, travel to a

Remedy: Check and correct the conditions for the WaitUntil loop.
F07085 Drive: Open-loop/closed-loop control parameters changed

Reaction: NONE
Cause: Parameters of the open-loop/closed-loop control had to be changed as they exceeded dynamic limits as a result of
other parameters.
The fault value includes the modified parameter number.
340: The motor and control parameters were automatically calculated (p0340 = 1), because the vector control was
subsequently activated as configuration (r0108.2).
See also: p0640 (Current limit), p1082 (Maximum speed), p1300 (Open-loop/closed-loop control operating mode),
p1800 (Pulse frequency setpoint)
Remedy: It is not necessary to change the parameters as they have already been correctly limited.
F07086 Units changeover: Parameter limit violation due to reference value change
Reaction: NONE
Cause: A reference parameter was changed in the system. This resulted in the fact that for the parameters involved, the
selected value was not able to be written in the per unit representation (cause: e.g. the steady-state minimum/max-
imum limit or that defined in the application was violated). The values of the parameters were set to the correspond-
ing violated minimum/maximum limit or to the factory setting.
Diagnostics parameter r9450 to display the parameters that were not able to be re-calculated.
Remedy: Check the adapted parameter value and if required correct.
See also: r9450 (Reference value change parameter with unsuccessful calculation)
F07087 Drive: Encoderless operation not possible for the selected pulse frequency
Reaction: NONE
Cause: Encoderless operation is not possible for the selected pulse frequency (p1800).
Encoderless operation is activated under the following conditions:
- the changeover speed for encoderless operation (p1404) is less than the maximum speed (p0322).
- a control type with encoderless operation has been selected (p1300).
- encoder faults of the motor encoder result in a fault response with encoderless operation (p0491).
See also: p0491 (Motor encoder fault response ENCODER), p1300 (Open-loop/closed-loop control operating
mode), p1404 (Encoderless operation changeover speed), p1800 (Pulse frequency setpoint)
Remedy: Increase the pulse frequency (p1800).
Note:
In encoderless operation, the pulse frequency must be at least as high as half the current controller clock cycle
(1/p0115[0]).

Faults and alarms
F07088 Units changeover: Parameter limit violation due to units changeover

Reaction: NONE
Cause: A changeover of units was initiated.
Possible causes for the violation of a parameter limit are:
- when rounding off a parameter corresponding to its decimal places, the steady-state minimum or maximum limit
was violated.
- inaccuracies for the data type "Floating Point".
In these cases, when the minimum limit is violated then the parameter value is rounded up and when the maximum
limited is violated the parameter value is rounded down.
Diagnostics parameter r9451 to display all parameters whose value had to be adapted.
See also: p0100 (IEC/NEMA mot stds), p0349 (System of units, motor equivalent circuit diagram data), p0505

To the terminal designation:
The first designation is valid for CU320, the second for CU305.
Remedy: - set the terminal as input (p0728).
- de-select the measuring probe (p0488, p0489, p0580).
A07400 (N) Drive: DC link voltage maximum controller active

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The DC link voltage controller has been activated because the upper switch-in threshold has been exceeded (r1242).
The ramp-down times are automatically increased in order to maintain the DC link voltage (r0070) within the permis-
sible limits. There is a system deviation between the setpoint and actual speeds.
When the DC link voltage controller is switched out (disabled), this is the reason that the ramp-function generator
output is set to the speed actual value.
See also: p1240 (Vdc controller or Vdc monitoring configuration)
Remedy: If the controller is not to intervene:
- increase the ramp-down times.
- shut down the Vdc max controller (p1280 = 0)
If the ramp-down times are not to be changed:
- use a chopper or regenerative feedback unit

Faults and alarms
A07402 (N) Drive: DC link voltage minimum controller active

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The DC link voltage controller has been activated as the lower switch-in threshold has been undershot (r1246).
The kinetic energy of the motor is used in order to buffer the DC link. This brakes the drive.
See also: p1240 (Vdc controller or Vdc monitoring configuration)
Remedy: The alarm disappears when power supply returns.
F07403 (N, A) Drive: Lower DC link voltage threshold reached

Message value: -

1: The change in the speed signal from the motor encoder has changed by > p0492 within a current controller clock
cycle.
Remedy: - if the encoder mounting was changed - re-adjust the encoder.
- replace the defective motor encoder.
- correctly set the angular commutation offset (p0431).
- correctly set the motor stator resistance, cable resistance and motor-stator leakage inductance (p0350, p0352,
p0356).
- increase the changeover speed for the motor model (p1752). The monitoring is completely de-activated for p1752
> p1082 (maximum speed).
Note:
For High Dynamic Motors (1FK7xxx-7xxx), for applications with a higher current, if necessary, the monitoring should
be disabled.

F07413 Drive: Commutation angle incorrect (pole position identification)

Message value: -
Cause: An incorrect commutation angle was detected that can result in a positive coupling in the speed controller.
- within the pole position identification routine (p1982 = 2):
A difference of > 45° electrical to the encoder angle was determined.
- for VECTOR, within the encoder adjustment (p1990 = 2):
A difference of > 6 ° electrical to the encoder angle was determined.
Remedy: - correctly set the angular commutation offset (p0431).
- re-adjust the motor encoder after the encoder has been replaced.
- replace the defective motor encoder.
- check the pole position identification routine. If the pole position identification routine is not suitable for this motor
type, then disable the plausibility check (p1982 = 0).
F07414 (N, A) Drive: Encoder serial number changed

Message value: -
Cause: The serial number of the motor encoder of a synchronous motor has changed. The change was only checked for
encoders with serial number (e.g. EnDat encoders) and build-in motors (e.g. p0300 = 401) or third-party motors
(p0300 = 2).
Cause 1:
The encoder was replaced.
Cause 2:
A third-party, build-in or linear motor was re-commissioned.
Cause 3:
The motor with integrated and adjusted encoder was replaced.
Cause 4:
The firmware was updated to a version that checks the encoder serial number.
Remedy: Re causes 1, 2:
Carry out an automatic adjustment using the pole position identification routine. First, accept the serial number with
p0440 = 1. Acknowledge the fault. Initiate the pole position identification routine with p1990 = 1. Then check that the
pole position identification routine is correctly executed.
SERVO:
If a pole position identification technique is selected in p1980, and if p0301 does not contain a motor type with an
encoder adjusted in the factory, then p1990 is automatically activated.
or
Set the adjustment via p0431. In this case, the new serial number is automatically accepted.
or
Mechanically adjust the encoder. Accept the new serial number with p0440 = 1.
Re causes 3, 4:
Accept the new serial number with p0440 = 1.
N07415 (F) Drive: Angular commutation offset transfer running

Message value: -
Reaction: OFF2
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The angular commutation offset was automatically determined using p1990 = 1.
This fault causes the pulses to be suppressed - this is necessary to transfer the angular commutation offset to p0431.
See also: p1990 (Encoder adjustment, determine angular commutation offset)

Faults and alarms
Remedy: The fault can be acknowledged without any additional measures.

F07420 Drive: Current setpoint filter natural frequency > Shannon frequency
Message value: %1
Cause: One of the filter natural frequencies is greater than the Shannon frequency.
The Shannon frequency is calculated according to the following formula: 0.5 / p0115[0]
Bit 0: Filter 1 (p1658, p1660)
Bit 1: Filter 2 (p1663, p1665)
Bit 2: Filter 3 (p1668, p1670)
Bit 3: Filter 4 (p1673, p1675)
Bit 8 ... 15: Data set number (starting from zero).
Remedy: - reduce the numerator or denominator natural frequency of the current setpoint filter involved.
- reduce the current controller sampling time (p0115[0]).
- switch out the filter involved (p1656).
F07421 Drive: Speed setpoint filter natural frequency > Shannon frequency
Message value: %1
Cause: One of the filter natural frequencies is greater than the Shannon frequency.
Bit 0: Filter 1 (p1417, p1419)
Bit 1: Filter 2 (p1423, p1425)
Bit 8 ... 15: Data set number (starting from zero)
Remedy: - reduce the numerator or denominator natural frequency of the speed setpoint filter involved.
- reduce the speed controller sampling time (p0115[1]).
- switch out the filter involved (p1414).
F07422 Drive: Reference model natural frequency > Shannon frequency

Message value: -
Cause: The natural filter frequency of the PT2 element for the reference model (p1433) is greater than the Shannon fre-
quency.
Remedy: - reduce the natural frequency of PT2 element for reference model (p1433).
- reduce the speed controller sampling time (p0115[1]).
F07429 Drive: DSC without encoder not possible

Message value: -

F07431 Drive: Changeover to encoderless operation not possible

Message value: -
Cause: For closed-loop torque control, the converter cannot change over to encoderless operation (p1404).
Remedy: Do not attempt to change over to encoderless operation.
F07432 Drive: Synchronous motor without overvoltage protection

Message value: %1
Cause: Under voltage conditions, a synchronous motor can generate an overvoltage condition that can destroy the drive sys-
tem.
Associated Drive Data Set (DDS).
Remedy: Overvoltage protection can be implemented in the following ways:
- limit the maximum speed (p1082) without any additional protection.
The maximum speed without protection is calculated as follows:
Rotary motors: p1082 [rpm] <= 11.695 * p0297/p0316 [Nm/A]
Linear motors: p1082 [m/min] <= 73.484 * p0297/p0316 [N/A]
- use a voltage protection module (VPM) in conjunction with the function "Safe Torque Off" (p9601, p9801).
When a fault condition exists, the VPM short-circuits the motors. During the short-circuit, the pulses must be sup-
pressed - this means that the terminals for the function "Safe Torque Off" must be connected to the VPM.
When using a VPM, p0643 must be set to 1.
- activating the internal voltage protection (IVP) with p1231 = 3.
See also: p0643 (Overvoltage protection for synchronous motors), p1231 (Armature short-circuit / DC brake config-
uration)
F07433 Drive: Closed-loop control with encoder is not possible as the encoder has not been
unparked
Message value: %1
Cause: The changeover to closed-loop control with encoder is not possible as the encoder has not been unparked.
Remedy: - check whether the encoder firmware supports the "parking" function (r0481.6 = 1).
- upgrade the firmware.
Note:
For long-stator motors (p3870.0 = 1), the following applies:
The encoder must have completed the unparking procedure (r3875.0 = 1) before a changeover can be made to
closed-loop control with encoder. The encoder is unparked with a 0/1 edge at BI: p3876 and remains unparked until
a 0 signal is again present.

F07434 Drive: It is not possible to change the direction of rotation with the pulses enabled
Message value: -
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: A drive data set was selected - with the pulses enabled - which has a different parameterized direction of rotation
(p1821).
It is only possible to change the motor direction of rotation using p1821 when the pulses are inhibited.
Remedy: - change over the drive data set with the pulses inhibited.
- ensure that the changeover to a drive data set does not result in the motor direction of rotation being changed (i.e.
for these drive data sets, the same value must be in p1821).
See also: p1821 (Dir of rot)
A07440 EPOS: Jerk time is limited

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The calculation of the jerk time Tr = MAX(p2572, p2573) / p2574 resulted in an excessively high value so that the
jerk time is internally limited to 1000 ms.
Note:
The alarm is also output if jerk limiting is not active.
Remedy: - increase the jerk limiting (p2574).
- reduce maximum acceleration or maximum deceleration (p2572, p2573).
See also: p2572 (EPOS maximum acceleration), p2573 (EPOS maximum deceleration), p2574 (EPOS jerk limiting)
A07441 LR: Save the position offset of the absolute encoder adjustment
Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The status of the absolute encoder adjustment has changed.
In order to permanently save the determined position offset (p2525) it must be saved in a non-volatile fashion (p0971,
p0977).
This alarm automatically disappears after the offset has been saved.
See also: p2507 (LR absolute encoder adjustment status), p2525 (LR encoder adjustment, offset)
F07442 (A) LR: Multiturn does not match the modulo range
Message value: -
Cause: The ratio between the multiturn resolution and the modular range (p2576) is not an integer number.
This results in the adjustment being set back, as the position actual value cannot be reproduced after power-
off/power-on.

Faults and alarms
Remedy: Make the ration between the multiturn resolution and the modulo range an integer number.
The ratio v is calculated as follows:
1. Motor encoder without position tracking:
v = (p0421 * p2506 * p0433 * p2505) / (p0432 * p2504 * p2576)
2. Motor encoder with position tracking for the measuring gear:
v = (p0412 * p2506 * p2505) / (p2504 * p2576)
3. Motor encoder with position tracking for the load gear:
v = (p2721 * p2506 * p0433) / (p0432 * p2576)
4. Motor encoder with position tracking for the load and measuring gear:
v = (p2721 * p2506) / p2576
5. Direct encoder without position tracking:
v = (p0421 * p2506 * p0433) / (p0432 * p2576)
6. Direct encoder with position tracking for the measuring gear:
v = (p0412 * p2506) / p2576
Note:
With position tracking, it is recommended that p0412 and p2721 are changed

Message value: %1
Cause: The reference point coordinate received when adjusting the encoder via connector input p2599 lies outside the half
of the encoder range and cannot be set as current axis position.
Maximum permissible value for the reference point coordinate.
Remedy: Set the reference point coordinate to a lower value than specified in the fault value.
See also: p2598 (EPOS reference point coordinate, signal source), p2599 (EPOS reference point coordinate value)
F07446 (A) Load gear: Position tracking cannot be reset

Message value: %1
Cause: The position tracking cannot be reset.
Remedy: Reset the position tracking as follows:
- select encoder commissioning (p0010 = 4).
- reset position tracking, position (p2720.2 = 1).
- de-select encoder commissioning (p0010 = 0).
The fault should then be acknowledged and, if necessary, the absolute encoder adjusted (p2507).

F07448 (A) Load gear: Position tracking, linear axis has exceeded the maximum range
Message value: -
Cause: For a configured linear axis/no modulo axis, the currently effective motor encoder (encoder 1) has exceeded the
maximum possible traversing range.
For the configured linear axis, the maximum traversing range is defined to be 64x (+/- 32x) of p0421. It should be
read in p2721 and interpreted as the number of load revolutions.
Note:
Only the motor encoder in the currently effective drive data set is monitored here. The currently effective drive data
set is displayed in x = r0051 and the corresponding motor encoder is specified in in p0187[x].
Remedy: The fault should be resolved as follows:
The fault should then be acknowledged and the absolute encoder adjusted.
F07449 (A) Load gear: Position tracking, current position outside tolerance window
Message value: %1
Cause: When powered down, the currently effective motor encoder was moved through a distance greater than was param-
eterized in the tolerance window. It is possible that there is no longer any reference between the mechanical system
and encoder.
Note:
Only the motor encoder in the currently effective drive data set is monitored here. The currently effective drive data
set is displayed in x = r0051 and the corresponding motor encoder is specified in in p0187[x].

A07487 EPOS: Reject traversing task missing

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: In the modes "traversing blocks" or "direct setpoint input/MDI" at the start of motion, the binector input "do not reject
traversing task/reject traversing task" (BI: p2641) does not have a 1 signal.
Remedy: Connect a 1 signal to the binector input "do not reject traversing task/reject traversing task" (BI: p2641) and re-start
motion.
See also: p2641 (EPOS reject traversing task (0 signal))
F07488 EPOS: Relative positioning not possible

Message value: -
Cause: In the mode "direct setpoint input/MDI", for continuous transfer (p2649 = 1) relative positioning was selected (BI:
p2648 = 0 signal).
Remedy: Check the control.
A07489 EPOS: Reference point correction outside the window

Message value: -
Cause: - for a standard assignment, another fault may have occurred as a result of withdrawing the enable signals.
- the drive is in the "switching on inhibited" state (for a standard assignment).
Remedy: - set the enable signals or check the cause of the fault that first occurred and then result (for a standard assignment).
- check the assignment to enable the basic positioning function.
F07491 (A) EPOS: STOP cam minus reached

Message value: -
Reaction: OFF3
Cause: A zero signal was detected at binector input BI: p2569, i.e. the STOP cam minus was reached.
For a positive traversing direction, the STOP cam minus was reached - i.e. the wiring of the STOP cam is incorrect.
See also: p2569 (EPOS STOP cam minus)
Remedy: - leave the STOP cam minus in the positive traversing direction and return the axis to the valid traversing range.
- check the wiring of the STOP cam.
F07492 (A) EPOS: STOP cam plus reached

Message value: -
Reaction: OFF3
Cause: A zero signal was detected at binector input BI: p2570, i.e. the STOP cam plus was reached.
For a negative traversing direction, the STOP cam plus was reached - i.e. the wiring of the STOP cam is incorrect.
See also: p2570 (EPOS STOP cam plus)
Remedy: - leave the STOP cam plus in the negative traversing direction and return the axis to the valid traversing range.
- check the wiring of the STOP cam.
F07493 LR: Overflow of the value range for position actual value
Message value: %1
Cause: The value range (-2147483648 ... 2147483647) for the position actual value representation was exceeded.
When the overflow occurs, the "referenced" or "adjustment absolute measuring system" status is reset.
1: The position actual value (r2521) has exceeded the value range.
2: The encoder position actual value Gn_XIST2 (r0483) or the absolute value after the load gear (r2723) has
exceeded the value range.
3: The maximum encoder value times the factor to convert the absolute position (r0483 and/or r2723) from incre-
ments to length units (LU) has exceeded the value range for displaying the position actual value.

Faults and alarms
Remedy: If required, reduce the traversing range or position resolution (p2506).

Increase the fine resolution of absolute position actual value (p0419).
Reference to fault value = 3:
If the value for the maximum possible absolute position (LU) is greater than 4294967296, then it is not possible to
make an adjustment due to an overflow.
For rotary encoders, the maximum possible absolute position (LU) is calculated as follows:
p2506 * p0433 * p2505 / (p0432 * p2504)
p2506 * p0433 * p2505 * p0421 / (p0432 * p2504) for multiturn encoders

F07494 LR: Drive Data Set changeover in operation

Message value: -
Cause: A drive data set changeover (DDS changeover) when the mechanical relationships change (p2503 .. 2506), the
direction of rotation (p1821) or the encoder assignment (p2502) were requested during operation.
Remedy: To changeover the drive data set, initially, exit the "operation" mode.
A07495 (F) LR: Reference function interrupted

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: An activated reference function (reference mark search or measuring probe evaluation) was interrupted.
- an encoder fault has occurred (Gn_ZSW.15 = 1).
- position actual value was set during an activated reference function.
- simultaneously activate reference mark search and measuring probe evaluation (BI: p2508 and BI: p2509 = 1 sig-
nal).
- activated reference function (reference mark search or measuring probe evaluation) was de-activated (BI: p2508
and BI: p2509 = 0 signal).
Remedy: - check the causes and resolve.
- reset the control (BI: p2508 and BI: p2509 = 0 signal) and activate the requested function.
A07496 EPOS: Enable not possible

Message value: %1
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: It is not possible to enable the basic positioner because at least one signal is missing.
1: EPOS enable missing (BI: p2656).
2: Position actual value, valid feedback signal missing (BI: p2658).
See also: p2656 (EPOS enable basic positioner), p2658 (EPOS pos. actual value valid, feedback signal)
Remedy: Check the appropriate binector inputs and signals.

Faults and alarms
A07497 LR: Position setting value activated

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The position actual value is set to the value received via CI: p2515while BI: p2514 = 1 signal. A possible system
deviation cannot be corrected.
The alarm automatically disappears with BI: p2514 = 0 signal.
A07498 (F) LR: Measuring probe evaluation not possible

Message value: %1
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: When evaluating the measuring probe, an error occurred.
6: The input terminal for the measuring probe is not set.
4098: Error when initializing the measuring probe.
4100: The measuring pulse frequency is too high.
> 50000: The measuring clock cycle is not a multiple integer of the position controller clock cycle.
Remedy: De-activate the measuring probe evaluation (BI: p2509 = 0 signal).
Re alarm value = 6:
Set the input terminal for the measuring probe (p0488, p0489 or p2517, p2518).
Check the Control Unit hardware.
Reduce the frequency of the measuring pulses at the measuring probe.
Re alarm value > 50000:
Set the clock cycle ratio of the measuring clock cycle to the position controller clock cycle to an integer multiple.
To do this, the currently effective measuring clock cycle can be determined from the alarm value as follows:
Tmeas[125μs] = alarm value - 50000.
With PROFIBUS, the measuring clock cycle corresponds to the PROFIBUS clock cycle r2064[1].
Without PROFIBUS, the measuring clock cycle is an internal cycle time that cannot be influenced.
F07499 (A) EPOS: Reversing cam approached with the incorrect traversing direction
Message value: -
Reaction: OFF3
Cause: The reversing cam MINUS was approached in the positive traversing direction or the reversing cam PLUS was
approached in the negative traversing direction.
See also: p2613 (EPOS search for reference reversing cam minus), p2614 (EPOS search for reference reversing
cam plus)

Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The motor cannot be changed over.
1:
The contactor for the motor that is presently active cannot be opened, because for a synchronous motor, the speed
(r0063) is greater than the speed at the start of field weakening (p3048). As long as r0063 > p0348, the current in
the motor does not decay in spite of the pulses being suppressed.

The "contactor opened" feedback signal was not detected within 1 s.
3:
The "contactor closed" feedback signal was not detected within 1 s.
Remedy: Re alarm value = 1:
Set the speed lower than the speed at the start of field weakening (r0063 < p0348).

- use an encoder with sinusoidal A/B track for which the motor pole pair number (r0313) is an integer multiple of the
encoder pulse number (p0408).
- activate the pole position identification routine (p1982 = 1).
Re fault cause = 2:
- the quotient of the pole pair number divided by the ratio of the measuring gear must be an integer number: (p0314

Encoder identification must be supported by the encoder and is possible in the following cases:
Encoder with EnDat interface, motor with DRIVE-CLiQ.
Remedy: - check and, if necessary, connect the encoder and/or encoder cable.
- check and, if necessary, establish the DRIVE-CLiQ connection.
- in the case of encoders that cannot be identified (e.g. encoders without EnDat interface), the correct encoder type
must be entered in p0400.

Cause: The power unit parameters cannot be read or no parameters are stored in the power unit.
Connection between the Control Unit and the Motor Module was interrupted or is defective.
This fault also occurs if an incorrect topology was selected in the commissioning software and this parameterization
is then downloaded to the Control Unit.
See also: r0200 (Power unit current code number)
Remedy: - connect the data line to power unit and restart the Control Unit (POWER ON).
- check or replace the Control Unit.
- check the cable between the Control Unit and Motor Module.
- after correcting the topology, the parameters must be again downloaded using the commissioning software.
F07801 Drive: Motor overcurrent

Message value: -
Cause: The permissible motor limit current was exceeded.
- effective current limit set too low.
- current controller not correctly set.
- motor was braked with an excessively high stall torque correction factor.
- V/f operation: Up ramp was set too short or the load is too high.
- V/f operation: Short-circuit in the motor cable or ground fault.
- V/f operation: Motor current does not match the current of Motor Module.
Note:
Synchronous motor: Limit current= 1.3 * p0323
Induction motor: Limit current= 1.3 * r0209
Remedy: - check the current limits (p0323, p0640).
- check the current controller (p1715, p1717).
- reduce the stall torque correction factor (p0326).
- increase the up ramp (p1318) or reduce the load.

Number of the incorrect parameter.
See also: r0200 (Power unit current code number), p0201 (Power unit code number)
Remedy: Connect the original power unit and power up the Control Unit again (POWER ON) or set p0201 to r0200 and exit
commissioning with p0010 = 0.
For infeeds, the following applies:
Commutating reactors or line filters must be used that are specified for the new power unit. A line supply and DC link
identification routine (p3410 = 5) must then be carried out. It is not possible to change the power unit without re-com-
missioning the system if the type of infeed (A_Infeed, B_Infeed, S_Infeed), the type of construction/design (booksize,
chassis) or the voltage class differ between the old and new power units.
For inverters, the following applies:
If the new power unit is accepted, then if required, the current limit p0640 can be reduced by a lower maximum cur-
rent of the power unit (r0209) (torque limits stay the same).
If not only the power unit is changed, but also the motor, then the motor must be re-commissioning (e.g. using p0010
= 1). This is also necessary if motor data is still to be downloaded via DRIVE-CLiQ.
If the comparison stage in p9906 is set to 2, 3, then commissioning can be exited (p0010 = 0) and the fault acknowl-
edged.

F07900 (N, A) Drive: Motor locked/speed controller at its limit

Message value: -
Cause: Motor has been operating at the torque limit longer than the time specified in p2177 and below the speed threshold
set in p2175.
This signal can also be initiated if the speed actual value is oscillating and the speed controller output repeatedly
goes to its limit.
See also: p2175 (Motor locked speed threshold), p2177 (Motor locked delay time)
Remedy: - check that the motor can freely rotate.
- check the torque limit: For a positive direction of rotation r1538, for a negative direction of rotation r1539.
- check the parameter, message "Motor locked" and if required, correct (p2175, p2177).
- check the inversion of the actual value (p0410).
- check the motor encoder connection.
- check the encoder pulse number (p0408).
- for SERVO with encoderless operation and motors with low power ratings (< 300 W), increase the pulse frequency

- after de-selecting basic positioning, check the torque limits when motoring (p1528) and when regenerating (p1529).
F07901 Drive: Motor overspeed

Reaction: OFF2
Cause: The maximum permissible speed was either positively or negatively exceeded.
The maximum permissible positive speed is formed as follows: Minimum (p1082, CI: p1085) + p2162
The maximum permissible negative speed is formed as follows: Maximum (-p1082, CI: 1088) - p2162
Remedy: The following applies for a positive direction of rotation:
- check r1084 and if required, correct p1082, CI:p1085 and p2162.
The following applies for a negative direction of rotation:
- check r1087 and if required, correct p1082, CI:p1088 and p2162.
F07902 (N, A) Drive: Motor stalled

Message value: %1
Cause: For a vector drive the system has identified that the motor has stall for a time longer than is set in p2178.
1: Stall detection using r1408.11 (p1744 or p0492).
2: Stall detection using r1408.12 (p1745).
3: Stall detection using r0056.11 (only for separately excited synchronous motors).

Faults and alarms
Remedy: For closed-loop speed and torque control with speed encoder, the following applies:
- check the speed signal (interrupted cable, polarity, pulse number, broken encoder shaft).
- check the speed encoder, if another speed encoder was selected using the data set changeover. This must be con-
nected to the same motor that is controlled for the data set changeover.
If there is no fault, then the fault tolerance (p1744 and p0492) can be increased.
For closed-loop speed and torque control without speed encoder, the following applies:
- check whether the drive in the open-loop controlled mode (r1750.0) stalls under load. If yes, then increase the cur-
rent setpoint using p1610.
- check whether the drive stalls due to the load if the speed setpoint is still zero. If yes, then increase the current
setpoint using p1610.
- if the motor excitation (magnetizing) time (r0346) was significantly reduced, then it should be increased again.
- check the current limits (p0640, r0067). If the current limits are too low, then the drive cannot be magnetized.
- check the current controller (p1715, p1717) and the speed adaptation controller (p1764, p1767). If the dynamic
response was significantly reduced, then this should be increased again.
- check the speed encoder, if another speed encoder was selected using the data set changeover. This must be con-
nected to the motor that is controlled for the data set changeover.
If there is no fault, then the fault tolerance (p1745) or the delay time (p2178) can be increased.
For separately-excited synchronous motors (closed-loop control with speed encoder), the following applies:
- check the speed signal (interrupted cable, polarity, pulse number).
- ensure the correct motor parameterization (rating plate and equivalent circuit diagram parameters).
- check the excitation equipment and the interface to the closed-loop control.
- encoder the highest possible dynamic response of the closed-loop excitation current control.
- check the speed control for any tendency to oscillate and if resonance effects occur, use a bandstop filter.
- do not exceed the maximum speed (p2162).
If there is no fault, then the delay time can be increased (p2178).
A07903 Drive: Motor speed deviation

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The absolute value of the speed difference from the two setpoints (p2151, p2154) and the speed actual value (r2169)
exceeds the tolerance threshold (p2163) longer than tolerated (p2164, p2166).
The alarm is only enabled for p2149.0 = 1.
Possible causes could be:
- the load torque is greater than the torque setpoint.
- when accelerating, the torque/current/power limit is reached. If the limits are not sufficient, then it is possible that
the drive has been dimensioned too small.
- for closed-loop torque control, the speed setpoint does not track the speed actual value.
- for active Vdc controller.
For V/f control, the overload condition is detected as the Imax controller is active.
See also: p2149 (Monitoring configuration)
Remedy: - increase p2163 and/or p2166.
- increase the torque/current/power limits.
- for closed-loop torque control: The speed setpoint should track the speed actual value.

Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: When closing, the contactor feedback signal (p1235) did not issue the signal "Closed" (r1239.1 = 1) within the mon-
itoring time (p1236).
Remedy: - check that the contactor feedback signal is correctly connected (p1235).
- check the logic of the contactor feedback signal (r1239.1 = 1: "Closed", r1239.1 = 0: "Open").
- increase the monitoring time (p1236).

Remedy: - check that the contactor feedback signal is correctly connected (p1235).
- check the logic of the contactor feedback signal (r1239.1 = 1: "Closed", r1239.1 = 0: "Open").
- increase the monitoring time (p1236).

F07906 Armature short-circuit / internal voltage protection: Parameterization error

Message value: Fault cause: %1, motor data set: %2
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: The armature short-circuit is incorrectly parameterized.
Low word: Motor data set number
High word: Cause:
1: A permanent-magnet synchronous motor has not been selected.
101: External armature short-circuit: Output (r1239.0) not connected up.
102: External armature short-circuit with contactor feedback signal: No feedback signal connected (BI:p1235).
103: External armature short-circuit without contactor feedback signal: Delay time when opening (p1237) is 0.
201: Internal voltage protection: The maximum output current of the Motor Module (r0289) is less than 1.8 * motor
short-circuit current (r0331).
202: Internal voltage protection: A Motor Module in booksize format is not being used.
203: Internal voltage protection: The motor short-circuit current (p0320) is greater than the maximum motor current
(p0323).
204: Internal voltage protection: The activation (p1231 = 4) is not given for all motor data sets with synchronous
motors (p0300 = 2xx, 4xx).

Faults and alarms
Remedy: Re cause 1:
- an armature short-circuit / voltage protection is only permissible for permanent-magnetic synchronous motors. The
highest position of the motor type in p0300 must either be 2 or 4.
Re cause 101:
- the contactor for the external armature short-circuit configuration should be controlled using output signal r1239.0.
The signal can, e.g. be connected to an output terminal BI: p0738. Before this fault can be acknowledged, p1231
must be set again.
Re cause 102:
- if the external armature short-circuit with contactor feedback signal (p1231 = 1) is selected, this feedback signal
must be connected to an input terminal (e.g. r722.x) and then connected to BI: p1235.
- alternatively, the external armature short-circuit without contactor feedback signal (p1231 = 2) can be selected.
Re cause 103:
- if the external armature short-circuit without contactor feedback signal (p1231 = 2) is selected, then a delay time
must be parameterized in p1237. This time must always be greater than the actual contactor opening time, as oth-
erwise the Motor Module would be short-circuited!
Re cause 201:
- a Motor Module with a higher maximum current or a motor with a lower short-circuit current must be used. The max-
imum Motor Module current must be higher than 1.8 * short-circuit current of the motor.
Re cause 202:
- for internal voltage protection, use a Motor Module in booksize format.
Re cause 203:
- for internal voltage protection, only use short-circuit proof motors.
Re cause 204:
- The internal voltage protection must either be activated for all motor data sets with synchronous motors (p0300 =
2xx, 4xx) (p1231 = 3) or it must be de-activated for all motor data sets (p1231 not equal to 3). This therefore ensures
that the protection cannot be accidentally withdrawn as a result of a data set changeover. The fault can only be
acknowledged if this condition is fulfilled.
F07907 Internal armature short-circuit: Motor terminals are not at zero potential after pulse
suppression
Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Cause: The function "Internal voltage protection" (p1231 = 3) was activated. The following must be observed:
- when the internal voltage protection is active, after pulse suppression, all of the motor terminals are at half of the
DC link voltage (without an internal voltage protection, the motor terminals are at zero potential)!
- it is only permissible to use motors that are short-circuit proof (p0320 < p0323).
- the Motor Module must be able to continually conduct 180% short-circuit current (r0331) of the motor (r0289).
- the internal voltage protection cannot be interrupted due to a fault response. If an overcurrent condition occurs dur-
ing the active, internal voltage protection, then this can destroy the Motor Module and/or the motor.
- if the Motor Module does not support the autonomous, internal voltage protection (r0192.10 = 0), in order to ensure
safe, reliable functioning when the line supply fails, an external 24 V power supply (UPS) must be used for the com-
ponents.
- if the Motor Module does support the autonomous, internal voltage protection (r0192.10 = 1), in order to ensure
safe, reliable functioning when the line supply fails, the 24 V power supply for the components must be provided
through a Control Supply Module.
- if the internal voltage protection is active, it is not permissible that the motor is driven by the load for a longer period
of time (e.g. as a result of loads that move the motor or another coupled motor).

A07918 (N) Three-phase setpoint generator operation selected/active

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: Only for separately excited synchronous motors (p0300 = 5):
The current open-loop/closed-loop control mode is I/f control (open-loop) with a fixed current (p1300 = 18).
The speed is entered via the setpoint channel and the current setpoint is given by the minimum current (p1620).
It must be ensured that in this mode, the control dynamic performance is very limited. This is the reason that longer
ramp-up times should be set for the setpoint speed than for normal operation.

A07927 DC brake active

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The motor is braked with a DC current, the DC current brake is active.
1)
An alarm with response DC brake is active. The motor is braked with the DC braking current p1232 for the duration
in p1233. If the standstill threshold p1226 is undershot, then braking is prematurely canceled.
2)
The DC braking function was activated on binector input p1230 with the set DC brake p1230 = 4. Braking current
p1232 is injected until this binector input becomes inactive.
F07928 Internal voltage protection initiated

Message value: -
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: The Motor Module signals that the motor is short-circuited through the power semiconductors (r1239.5 = 1). The
pulses cannot be enabled. The internal voltage protection is selected (p1231 = 3).
Remedy: If the Motor Module supports the autonomous internal voltage protection (r0192.10 = 1), then the Motor Module auto-
matically decides - using the DC link voltage - as to whether the armature short-circuit should be activated.
The armature short-circuit is activated and response OFF2 is initiated if the DC link voltage exceeds 800 V. If the DC
link voltage falls below 450 V, then the armature short-circuit is withdrawn.
If the motor is still in a critical speed range, the armature short-circuit is re-activated once the DC link voltage exceeds
the threshold of 800 V.
If the autonomous (independent) internal voltage protection is active (r1239.5 = 1) and the line supply returns (450
V < DC link voltage < 800 V), the armature short-circuit is withdrawn after 1 minute.

Remedy: - check the functionality of the motor holding brake.
- check the feedback signal (p1223).
A07932 Brake does not close

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: This alarm is output for r1229.5 = 1.
For r1229.5 = 1, OFF/OFF3 are suppressed to prevent the drive accelerating by a load that drives the motor -
whereby OFF2 remains effective.
See also: p1217 (Motor holding brake closing time), r1229 (Motor holding brake status word)
Remedy: - check the functionality of the motor holding brake.

F07955 Drive: Motor has been changed

Reaction: NONE
Cause: The code number of the current motor with DRIVE-CLiQ does not match the saved number.
Number of the incorrect parameter.
See also: p0301 (Motor code number selection), r0302 (Motor code number of motor with DRIVE-CLiQ)
Remedy: Connect the original motor, power up the Control Unit again (POWER ON) and exit the quick commissioning by set-
ting p0010 to 0.
Or set p0300 = 10000 (load the motor parameter with DRIVE-CLiQ) and re-commission.
Quick commissioning (p0010 = 1) is automatically exited with p3900 > 0.
If quick commissioning was exited by setting p0010 to 0, then an automatic controller calculation (p0340 = 1) is not
carried out.
F07956 (A) Drive: Motor code does not match the list (catalog) motor
Message value: %1
Reaction: NONE
Cause: The motor code of the current motor with DRIVE-CLiQ does not match the possible list motor types (refer to the
selection, p0300).
Motor code of the motor with DRIVE-CLiQ
Remedy: Use a motor with DRIVE-CLiQ and the matching motor code.
The first three digits of the motor code generally correspond to the matching list motor type.
A07965 (N) Drive: Save required

Message value: -

fore possibly incorrect.
Remedy: Angular commutation offset after the actual value inversion or determine it again (p1990=1).
A07971 (N) Drive: Angular commutation offset determination activated

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE

Cause: The automatic determination of the angular commutation offset (encoder adjustment) is activated (p1990 = 1).
The automatic determination is carried out with the next power-on command.
For SERVO and fault F07414 present, the following applies:
The determination of the angular commutation offset is automatically activated (p1990 = 1), if a pole position identi-
fication technique is set in p1980.

The alarm automatically disappears after determination or for the setting p1990 = 0.
A07980 Drive: Rotating measurement activated

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The rotating measurement is activated. For the rotating measurement, the motor can accelerate up to the maximum
speed and with maximum torque. Only the parameterized current limit (p0640) and the maximum speed (p1082) are
effective. The behavior of the motor can be influenced using the direction inhibit (p1959.14, p1959.15) and the ramp-
up/ramp-down time (p1958).
The rotating measurement is carried out at the next power-on command.

Motor Module to the rated motor current should not be less than 0.5 and not be greater than 4.
- check configuration (star/delta).
Re fault value = 2:
- for parallel circuits, check the motor winding system in p7003. If, for power units connected in parallel, a motor is
specified with a single-winding system (p7003 = 0), although a multi-winding system is being used, then a large pro-
portion of the stator resistance is interpreted as feeder cable resistance and entered in p0352.

Re fault = 127, 128, 129:
- it is possible that current controller is oscillating. Reduce p1715 before next measurement.
- do not initiate a drive data set changeover during motor ident. routine.
- before the measurement, enable at least one direction (p1110 = 0 or p1111 = 0 or p1959.14 = 1 or p1959.15 = 1).
- extend accelerating time when determining kT, moment of inertia and reluctance torque, e.g. by increasing max.

Faults and alarms
- increase max. current (p0640).

- reduce max. speed (p1082).
- suppress meas. (p1959).
- the motor has moved through more than 5 ° electrical (r0093). Lock motor rotor at one of these pole position angles
(r0093): 90 °, 210 ° or 330 ° (+/-5 °) and then start identification.
- switch out all supplementary torques (e.g. CI: p1511).
- for hanging/suspended axes: Lock motor rotor at one of these pole position angles (r0093): 90 °, 210 ° or 330 ° (+/-

A07991 (N) Drive: Motor data identification activated

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The motor data ident. routine is activated.
The motor data identification routine is carried out at the next power-on command.
See also: p1910 (Motor data identification routine, stationary (standstill)), p1960 (Rotating measurement selection)
The alarm automatically disappears after the motor data identification routine has been successfully completed or
for the setting p1910 = 0 or p1960 = 0.
F07993 Drive: Incorrect direction of rotation of the field or encoder actual value inversion
Message value: -
Cause: Either the direction of the rotating field or the encoder actual value has an incorrect sign. The motor data identification
automatically changed the actual value inversion (p0410) in order to correct the control sense. This can result in a
direction of rotation change. To acknowledge this fault, the correctness of the direction of rotation must first be
acknowledged with p1910 = -2.
Remedy: Check the direction of rotation, also for the position controller, if one is being used.
If the direction of rotation is correct, the following applies:
No additional measures are required (except p1910 = -2 and acknowledge fault).
If the direction of rotation is incorrect, the following applies:
To change the direction of rotation, two phases must be interchanged and the motor identification routine must be
repeated.

Re fault value = 9:
Enter a value not equal to zero in the pole position identification routine current (p0329, p0325, p1993).
Do not initiate a data set changeover during the pole position identification.
- for incremental encoders without commutation with zero mark (p0404.15 = 0), it does not make sense to adjust the
encoder to determine the commutation angle (p1990 = 1). In this case, the function should be de-selected (p1990 =
0) or, for an encoder with suitable zero mark, commutation with zero mark should be selected (p0404.15 = 1).
- for absolute encoders, only adjust the encoder to determine the commutation angle (p1990 = 1) if the encoder sup-
plies commutation information and is finely synchronized (p1992.8 = 1 and p1992.10 = 1). The encoder is possibly
parked, de-activated (p0145), not ready to operate or signals a fault condition.
- deselect the encoder adjustment to determine the commutation angle (set p1990 to 0).

F07996 Drive: Pole position identification routine not carried out

Message value: -
Reaction: ENCODER (OFF2)
Cause: In operation, the operating mode that requires a pole position identification was changed over, which is not possible
in this state:
- the drive was changed over, flying, from encoderless operation to operation with encoder without having previously
carried out a pole position identification for the encoder. p1404 is then at a value between zero and the max. speed
and the pulses in the speed range above p1404 were enabled without a pole position ident. routine having been pre-
viously carried out in operation with encoder.
- in operation, an EDS changeover was made to an encoder where it is necessary to carry out a pole position iden-
tification. However, this has still not been carried out (p1982 = 1 or 2 and p1992.7 = 0).
Remedy: - for a flying changeover between operation with and without encoder with pole position identification after POWER
ON or commissioning (p0010 not equal to zero) enable the pulses once at zero speed. This means that the pole
position identification routine is carried out and the result is available for operation.
- carry out the EDS changeover with the pulses inhibited, or, before the changeover, carry out a pole position iden-
tification using this data set.

Message value: %1
Reaction: ENCODER (IASC/DCBRAKE, OFF1, OFF2, OFF3, STOP1, STOP2)
Acknowledge: PULSE INHIBIT
Cause: The measured zero mark distance does not correspond to the parameterized zero mark distance.
For distance-coded encoders, the zero mark distance is determined from zero marks detected pairs. This means that
if a zero mark is missing, depending on the pair generation, this cannot result in a fault and also has no effect in the
system.
The zero mark distance for the zero mark monitoring is set in p0425 (rotary encoder) or p0424 (linear encoder).
Last measured zero mark distance in increments (4 increments = 1 encoder pulse).
The sign designates the direction of motion when detecting the zero mark distance.
Remedy: - check that the encoder cables are routed in compliance with EMC.
- check the plug connections.
. check the encoder type (encoder with equidistant zero marks).
- adapt the parameter for the distance between zero marks (p0424, p0425).
- if message output above speed threshold, reduce filter time if necessary (p0438).
- replace the encoder or encoder cable.

F31103 (N, A) Encoder 1: Amplitude error, track R

Message value: R track: %1
Reaction: ENCODER (IASC/DCBRAKE, NONE)
Cause: The amplitude of the reference track signal (track R) does not lie within the tolerance bandwidth for encoder 1.
The fault can be initiated when the unipolar voltage range is exceeded or the differential amplitude is initiated.
xxxx hex:
xxxx = Signal level, track R (16 bits with sign).
The unipolar nominal signal level of the encoder must lie in the range 2500 mV +/- 500 mV.
The response threshold is < 1700 mV and > 3300 mV.
The nominal differential signal level of the encoder must lie in the range 375 mV to 600 mV (500 mV -25/+20 %).
The response threshold is > 750 mV.
A signal level of 500 mV peak value corresponds to the numerical value 5333 hex = 21299 dec.
Note:
The analog value of the amplitude error is not measured at the same time with the hardware fault output by the sen-
sor module.
The signal level is not evaluated unless the following conditions are satisfied:
- Sensor Module properties available (r0459.30 = 1, r0459.31 = 1).
- monitoring active (p0437.30 = 1, p0437.31 = 1).
Remedy: - check the speed range, frequency characteristic (amplitude characteristic) of the measuring equipment may not be
sufficient for the speed range.
- check that the encoder cables and shielding are routed in compliance with EMC.
- check the plug connections and contacts of the encoder cable.
- check whether the zero mark is connected and the signal cables RP and RN connected correctly.
- replace the encoder cable.
- if the coding disk is soiled or the lighting worn, replace the encoder.

F31115 (N, A) Encoder 1: Amplitude error track A or B (A^2 + B^2)

Message value: A track: %1, B-track: %2
Cause: The amplitude (root of A^2 + B^2) for encoder 1 exceeds the permissible tolerance.
yyyyxxxx hex:
yyyy = Signal level, track B (16 bits with sign).
xxxx = Signal level, track A (16 bits with sign).
The nominal signal level of the encoder must lie in the range 375 mV to 600 mV (500 mV -25/+20 %).
The response thresholds are < 230 mV (observe the frequency response of the encoder) and > 750 mV.
Note for sensors modules for resolvers (e. g. SMC10):
The nominal signal level is at 2900 mV (2.0 Vrms). The response thresholds are < 1070 mV and > 3582 mV.
Note:
The analog values of the amplitude error are not measured at the same time with the hardware fault output by the
sensor module.
Remedy: - check that the encoder cables and shielding are routed in compliance with EMC.
- check the Sensor Module (e.g. contacts).

F31117 (N, A) Encoder 1: Inversion error signals A and B and R

Message value: -
Cause: For a square-wave signal encoder (TTL. bipolar. double ended) the A* and B* and R* signals are not inverted with
respect to signals A and B and R.
Note:
For SMC30 (order nos. 6SL3055-0AA00-5CA0 and 6SL3055-0AA00-5CA1 only), the following applies:
A squarewave encoder without track R is used and the track monitoring (p0405.2 = 1) is activated.
Remedy: - check the setting of p0405: p0405.2 = 1 is only possible if the encoder is connected at X520.
- check the encoder/cable: Does the encoder supply TTL signals and the associated inverted signals?
Note:
For a squarewave encoder without track R, the following jumpers must be set at the encoder connection:
- pin 10 (reference signal R) <--> pin 7 (encoder power supply, ground)
- pin 11 (reference signal R inverted) <--> pin 4 (encoder power supply)
F31118 (N, A) Encoder 1: Speed difference outside the tolerance range

Message value: %1
Cause: For an HTL/TTL encoder, the speed difference has exceeded the value in p0492 over several sampling cycles.
The change to the averaged speed actual value - if applicable - is monitored in the current controller sampling time.
Encoder 1 is used as motor encoder and can be effective has fault response to change over to encoderless opera-
tion.
See also: p0491 (Motor encoder fault response ENCODER), p0492 (Square-wave encoder, maximum speed differ-
ence per sampling cycle)
Remedy: - check the tachometer feeder cable for interruptions.

- check the short-circuit of a signal cable with mass or the operating voltage.
F31129 (N, A) Encoder 1: Position difference, hall sensor/track C/D and A/B too large
Message value: %1
Cause: The error for track C/D is greater than +/-15 ° mechanical or +/-60 ° electrical or the error for the Hall signals is greater
than +/-60 ° electrical.
One period of track C/D corresponds to 360 ° mechanical.
One period of the Hall signal corresponds to 360 ° electrical.
The monitoring responds if, for example, Hall sensors are connected as equivalent for the C/D tracks with the incor-
rect rotational sense or supply values that are not accurate enough.
After the fine synchronization using one reference mark or 2 reference marks for distance-coded encoders, this fault
is no longer initiated, but instead, Alarm A31429.
For track C/D, the following applies:
Measured deviation as mechanical angle (16 bits with sign, 182 dec corresponds to 1 °).
For Hall signals, the following applies:
Measured deviation as electrical angle (16 bits with sign, 182 dec corresponds to 1 °).
Remedy: - track C or D not connected.
- correct the direction of rotation of the Hall sensor possibly connected as equivalent for track C/D.
- check that the encoder cables are routed in compliance with EMC.
- check the adjustment of the Hall sensor.
F31130 (N, A) Encoder 1: Zero mark and position error from the coarse synchronization
Message value: Angular deviation, electrical: %1, angle, mechanical: %2
Cause: After initializing the pole position using track C/D, Hall signals or pole position identification routine, the zero mark
was detected outside the permissible range. For distance-coded encoders, the test is carried out after passing 2 zero
marks. Fine synchronization was not carried out.
When initializing via track C/D (p0404) then it is checked whether the zero mark occurs in an angular range of +/-18
° mechanical.
When initializing via Hall sensors (p0404) or pole position identification (p1982) it is checked whether the zero mark
occurs in an angular range of +/-60 ° electrical.

- if the Hall sensor is used as an equivalent for track C/D, check the connection.
- Check the connection of track C or D.
F31131 (N, A) Encoder 1: Deviation, position incremental/absolute too large

Message value: %1
Cause: Absolute encoder:
When cyclically reading the absolute position, an excessively high difference to the incremental position was
detected. The absolute position that was read is rejected.
Limit value for the deviation:
- EnDat encoder: Is supplied from the encoder and is a minimum of 2 quadrants (e.g. EQI 1325 > 2 quadrants, EQN
1325 > 50 quadrants).
- other encoders: 15 pulses = 60 quadrants.
Incremental encoder:
When the zero pulse is passed, a deviation in the incremental position was detected.
For equidistant zero marks, the following applies:
- The first zero mark passed supplies the reference point for all subsequent checks. The other zero marks must have
n times the distance referred to the first zero mark.
For distance-coded zero marks, the following applies:
- the first zero mark pair supplies the reference point for all subsequent checks. The other zero mark pairs must have
the expected distance to the first zero mark pair.
Deviation in quadrants (1 pulse = 4 quadrants).
- check whether the coding disk is dirty or there are strong ambient magnetic fields.

For p0411.0 = 1, the maximum traversing range for the configured linear axis is defined to be 64x (+/- 32x) of p0421.
For p0411.3 = 1, the maximum traversing range for the configured linear axis is pre-set (default value) to the highest
possible value and is +/-p0412/2 (rounded off to complete revolutions). The highest possible value depends on the

F31905 (N, A) Encoder 1: Parameterization error

Message value: Parameter: %1, supplementary information: %2
Cause: A parameter of encoder 1 was detected as being incorrect.
It is possible that the parameterized encoder type does not match the connected encoder.
The parameter involved can be determined as follows:
- determine the parameter number using the fault value (r0949).
- determine the parameter index (p0187).
yyyyxxxx dec: yyyy = supplementary information, xxxx = parameter
Supplementary information = 0:
No information available.
The component does not support HTL level (p0405.1 = 0) combined with track monitoring A/B <> -A/B (p0405.2 = 1).
A code number for an identified encoder has been entered into p0400, however, no identification was carried out.

respect to signals A and B and R.
Note:
For SMC30 (order nos. 6SL3055-0AA00-5CA0 and 6SL3055-0AA00-5CA1 only), the following applies:
A squarewave encoder without track R is used and the track monitoring (p0405.2 = 1) is activated.
Remedy: - check the setting of p0405: p0405.2 = 1 is only possible if the encoder is connected at X520.
- check the encoder/cable: Does the encoder supply TTL signals and the associated inverted signals?
Note:
For a squarewave encoder without track R, the following jumpers must be set at the encoder connection:

Cause: For the actual value sensing, an error was detected. As a result of this error, it must be assumed that the actual value
sensing supplies an incorrect coarse position.
3: The absolute position of the serial protocol and track A/B differ by half an encoder pulse. The absolute position
must have its zero position in the quadrants in which both tracks are negative. In the case of a fault, the position can
be incorrect by one encoder pulse.
- for a standard encoder with cable, if required, contact the manufacturer.
- correct the assignment of the tracks to the position value that is serially transferred. To do this, the two tracks must

For p0411.0 = 1, the maximum traversing range for the configured linear axis is defined to be 64x (+/- 32x) of p0421.
For p0411.3 = 1, the maximum traversing range for the configured linear axis is pre-set (default value) to the highest
possible value and is +/-p0412/2 (rounded off to complete revolutions). The highest possible value depends on the

Faults and alarms


yyyyxxxx dec: yyyy = supplementary information, xxxx = parameter
No information available.
The component does not support HTL level (p0405.1 = 0) combined with track monitoring A/B <> -A/B (p0405.2 = 1).
Please start a new encoder identification.
Please select a listed encoder in p0400 with a code number < 10000.
This component does not support SSI encoders (p0404.9 = 1) without track A/B.
For SQW encoder, value in p4686 greater than in p0425.
DRIVE-CLiQ encoder cannot be used with this firmware version.
- re parameter number 314: Check the pole pair number and measuring gear ratio. The quotient of the "pole pair
number" divided by the "measuring gear ratio" must be less than or equal to 1000 ((r0313 * p0433) / p0432 <= 1000).
A32915 (F, N) Encoder 2: Configuration error

Message value: %1
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The configuration for encoder 2 is incorrect.
1: Re-parameterization between fault/alarm is not permissible.
Remedy: No re-parameterization between fault/alarm.
Reaction upon F: NONE (IASC/DCBRAKE)

Faults and alarms

Parameter number
This fault is only output for encoders with r404[0].10 = 1. It corresponds to A32905 with encoders where r404[0].10
= 0.
A32920 (F, N) Encoder 2: Temperature sensor fault

Message value: Fault cause: %1, channel number: %2
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Low word low byte: Cause:
1: Wire breakage or sensor not connected (KTY: R > 1630 Ohm).
2: Measured resistance too low (PTC: R < 20 Ohm, KTY: R < 50 Ohm).
Additional values:
