1.3 Industrial security
Note
Industrial security
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Products and solutions from Siemens constitute one element of such a
concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected
to an enterprise network or the Internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary and
only when appropriate security measures (e.g. using firewalls and/or network segmentation)
are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that can be implemented, please
visit:
Industrial security (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity)
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure.
Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they become
available, and that only the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are
no longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer’s exposure
to cyber threats.

Introduction 2
2.1 Using the Diagnostics Manual
The Diagnostics Manual refers to the alarms / messages from the NC area, HMI, PLC and
SINAMICS. It should be used as a reference manual and allows operators at the machine tool:
● To correctly assess special situations when operating the machine.
● To ascertain the reaction of the system to the special situation.
● To utilize the possibilities for continued operation following the special situation.
● To follow references to other documentation containing further details.
Alarms
Introduction
2.2 Structure of the diagnostics manual
Overview of alarms
You can find descriptions of the alarms in chapters:
● NC alarms (Page 23)
● Cycle alarms (Page 557)
● HMI alarms (Page 735)
● SINAMICS alarms (Page 745)
● Drive and I/O alarms (Page 1453)
● PLC alarms (Page 1465)
In each chapter, the alarm descriptions are sorted according to ascending alarm number. There
are gaps in the sequence.
Structure of the SINUMERIK alarm descriptions

The descriptions of the alarms have the following layout:
<Alarm No.> <Alarm text>

Explanation:
Reaction:
Help:
Continue
program:
Each alarm is uniquely identified using the <Alarm number> and the <Alarm text>.
The description of the alarms is classified according to the following categories:
● Explanation
● Response
See Chapter: System reactions to SINUMERIK alarms (Page 1493)
● Remedy
See Chapter:Cancel criteria for alarms (Page 1495)
● Program continuation
See Chapter: Cancel criteria for alarms (Page 1495)
SINAMICS alarms
The faults and states detected by the individual components of the drive system are flagged
using alarms. These SINAMICS alarms are categorized into faults and alarms.
Alarms
Introduction
The differences between faults and alarms are as follows:
Fault What happens when a fault occurs?

● The appropriate fault response is initiated.
● Status signal ZSW1.3 is set.
● The fault is entered in the fault buffer.
How are faults resolved?
● Remove the cause of the fault
● Acknowledge the fault
Alarm What happens when an alarm occurs?
● Status signal ZSW1.7 is set.
● The alarm is entered into the alarm buffer.
How are alarms resolved?
● Alarms acknowledge themselves. When the cause has been removed, the alarms
reset themselves automatically.
Structure of SINAMICS alarm descriptions

The descriptions of the SINAMICS alarms have the following layout:
<Alarm No.> <Location data> <Alarm text>

Message value:
Drive object:
Reaction:
Acknowledgment:
Cause:
Help:
Each alarm is uniquely identified using the <Alarm number> and the <Alarm text>.
The <Location data> is optional display information. Location data can include:
● Axis name and drive number
OR
● Bus and slave number of the PROFINET or PROFIBUS DP component affected
The place holder <Location data> is kept in the alarm description for this optional information.
Alarms
Introduction
The description of the SINAMICS alarms is classified according to the following categories:
● Message value
The information provided under the message value tells you about the composition of the
fault/alarm value.
Example:
Message value: Component number: %1, cause: %2
This fault value or alarm value contains information about the component number and
cause. The entries %1 and %2 are place holders, which are filled appropriately in online
operation with the commissioning software.
● Drive object
For each alarm (fault/alarm) it is specified in which drive object this message can be found.
A message can belong to either one, several or all drive objects.
● Response
Specifies the default response in the event of a fault.
● Acknowledgment
Specifies the default method of acknowledging the fault/alarm after the cause has been
removed.
● Cause
Describes the possible causes. For the cause of the alarm, the fault/alarm value is
essentially prepared in text form.
● Remedy
Describes the possible remedies.
A detailed description of the fault responses and acknowledgment can be found in Chapter:
System reactions for SINAMICS alarms (Page 1496).
References
You can find additional information about SINAMICS messages in the following manual:
SINAMICS S120/S150 List Manual.
Syntax:
The syntax of the parameter messages can be derived as follows:
In the diagnostic manual, the messages initiated by SINAMICS always start with a "2" followed
by a 5-digit number.
In the SINAMICS S120/S150 List Manual, the messages begin with a letter, followed by a 5-
digit number:
● "F" (Fault)
● "A" (Alarm)
● "N" (No Report)
● "C" (Safety message)
If you require further information on the alarms, you can find a description in the SINAMICS List
Manual by replacing the first number "2" of the message number with the letter "F", "A", "N", or
"C".

Introduction
Example:
You can find a description of alarm 207016 in the SINAMICS S120/S150 List Manual under
fault F07016.
You can find a description of alarm 201330 in the SINAMICS S120/S150 List Manual under
fault A01330.
Synchronization of time and date
Note
Synchronization of time
The SINAMICS drives have no real-time clock. The time of day and date of the SINAMICS clock
are synchronized in a 10-second cycle with the SINUMERIK real-time clock.
The result is that after a change of the date and/or the clock of the SINUMERIK real-time clock
up to 10 seconds collapses until these changes have been synchronized with the SINAMICS
drives.
If in this up period of up to 10 seconds SINAMICS messages occur (number range 200000 -
299999), this SINAMICS messages still receive the outdated date/time stamp. The
SINUMERIK alarms (alarm numbers < 200000 and > 300000) triggered as a result of the
SINAMICS messages, on the other hand, already receive the new date/ time stamp.

2000 PLC sign-of-life monitoring

Explanation: The PLC must give a sign of life within a defined period of time (MD10100 $MN_PLC_CYCLIC_TIMEOUT). If this does not
occur, the alarm is triggered.
The sign of life is a counter reading on the internal NC/PLC interface which the PLC causes to count up with the 10 ms time
alarm. The NCK also tests cyclically whether the counter reading has changed.
The PLC must give a sign of life within a defined period of time. If this does not occur, this alarm is triggered.

Explanation: In the channel-specific MD20070 $MC_AXCONF_MACHAX_USED [CHn, AXm]=x (n ... channel number, m ... channel
axis number, x ... machine axis number), several channels were assigned to a machine axis without having a master
channel defined for this axis.
There is usually not much point in assigning a machine axis to several channels. In exceptional cases, multiple assignment
can be performed if a master channel is defined for this axis. The channel assignment can be performed in accordance with
the machining requirements in the NC part program by means of a keyword (yet to be defined in later product versions).

4065 Buffered memory was restored from backup medium (potential loss of data!)
Explanation: The user data of the NC and the retentive data of the PLC are stored in a buffered memory area (SRAM). A possible
inconsistency was detected in this buffered memory during ramp-up of the control.
The buffered memory was initialized with the last backup copy. Changes that have been made since the last update of the
backup copy in the buffered memory were thus lost.
A possible reason for a data inconsistency could be that the backup time was exceeded. Please note the required ON time
of the control specified in your commissioning guide.

Remedy: Restart the control.
continuation:
4070 Normalizing machine data has been changed

Explanation: The control uses internal physical units (mm, degrees, s, for paths, velocities, acceleration, etc.). During programming or
data storage, some of these values are input and output using different units (rev./min, m/s2, etc.).
The conversion is carried out with the scaling factors that can be entered (system-spefic MD array MD10230
$MN_SCALING_FACTORS_USER_DEF USER_DEF[n] (n ... index number 0 - 10), when the corresponding masking bit
is set to "1".
If the masking bit is set to "0" then scaling takes place with the internal standard factors.
The following machine data influence the scaling of other MDs:
MD10220: $MN_SCALING_USER_DEF_MASK
MD10230: $MN_SCALING_FACTORS_USER_DEF
MD10240: $MN_SCALING_SYSTEM_IS_METRIC
MD10250: $MN_SCALING_VALUE_INCH
MD30300: $MA_IS_ROT_AX
If these data are modified, the NCK must be powered up again. Only then will the input of dependent data be performed
correctly.

If the alarm has been displayed after downloading an MD file which is consistent within itself, then the download operation
must be repeated with a new NC power-up. (The file contains scaling-dependent machine data in front of the scaling

4073 Compile cycle functions define machine data number %1 several times
Parameters: %1 = Machine data number
Explanation: Can only occur when installing compile cycle functions. Two different compile cycle applications use the same machine
data number. The machine data which was defined twice is shifted into the free number range above 64000.
Remedy: The error has no effect on the usability of the machine data and the function of the compile cycle application. To ensure
that the compile cycle machine data documentation is correct, you must contact the supplier of the compile cycle. Only the
supplier can remedy the error by changing the software.
continuation:
4075 Machine data %1 (and maybe others) not changed due to missing permission level %2
%2 = Write protection level of the MD
Explanation: On executing a TOA file or when writing machine data from the part program, an attempt has been made to write an item
of data with a higher protection level than the access authorization currently set in the control. The item of data in question
has not been written and program execution is continued. This alarm is set only when access violation is detected for the

4077 New value %1 of MD %2 not set. Requires %3 KB too much %4 memory.

Parameters: %1 = New value of machine data
%2 = Machine data number
%3 = Number of bytes requested that exceeded availability
%4 = Type of memory
Explanation: An attempt was made to enter a new value in the specified memory configuration machine data. It was not possible to
modify the value, as this would have required more user memory than was available.
The third parameter specifies the number of kilobytes by which the maximum user memory would be exceeded. Note: 1
KB = 1024 bytes. 1 MB = 1024 KB.
The fourth parameter specifies the type of memory whose limit was exceeded.
- "D" stands for dynamic or non-buffered user memory (this is where, for example, the LUD variables are stored and the
interpolation buffer size is entered). The capacity of this memory type can be taken from MD18210
$MN_MM_USER_MEM_DYNAMIC, and is defined by OD19240 $ON_USER_MEM_DYNAMIC.
- "S" stands for static or buffered user memory (this is where part programs, offset data, R variables, tool data, etc. are
typically stored). The capacity of this memory type can be taken from MD18210 $MN_MM_USER_MEM_BUFFERED, and
is defined by OD19250 $ON_USER_MEM_BUFFERED.
- "iS" stands for internal static or buffered user memory. This memory type is defined by the current memory configuration
(not settable). A few NCK functions use this memory.
Remedy: If the modification was unintentional, ignore the error message and continue. The alarm has no negative effects. The
remedy depends on the access right and the current memory configuration of the NCK:
- The intended change is not possible -> Try again with a smaller value. Observe the change in the value of parameter 3.
- Is it possible to expand the memory? This option depends on the control model in use. (Never possible if parameter 4
equals "iS").
- The NCK user memory may have been set smaller than it could be. With the appropriate access authorization, the
machine data (see above) can be changed. An increase in buffered memory is subject to charge.
- Example: Parameter 4 is "D" - this means that $ON_USER_MEM_DYNAMIC should be increased. Parameter 3 is 400
kB - this means there is a lack of 400 / 1024 MiB = 1 MiB (rounded up). Increasing the value of
$ON_USER_MEM_DYNAMIC by 1 MiB / 4 MiB = 1 (rounded up) makes the missing memory available.

management, it was found that various edges of the same TO unit had the same H number. MD10890
$MN_EXTERN_TOOLPROG_MODE bit 3 remains set and is not included in data management.
Remedy: H numbers must be assigned only once in a TO unit. Then, MD10890, $MN_EXTERN_TOOLPROG_MODE, bit 3 can be
set = 0 and a restart can be performed.

6000 Memory reorganized using standard machine data

Explanation: The memory management was not able to allocate the NC user memory with the values in the machine data. It did not have
enough memory available because the total memory available is provided as dynamic and static memory for the NC user
(e.g. for macro definitions, user variables, number of tool offsets, number of directories and files etc.).
Alarms
NC alarms

Alarm display.
NC Stop on alarm.
Remedy: Redefine the NC memory structure!
A specific MD for NC user memory allocation cannot be stated to be the cause of the alarm. The MD initiating the alarm
therefore has to be determined on the basis of the default values in the machine data by changing the user-specific memory
structure step by step.
Usually, it is not just one single MD that has been set too large. Therefore it is advisable to reduce the memory area by a
certain proportion in several MDs.

Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: Data management has detected an error during ramp-up. The specified data block may not have been created. The error
number specifies the type of error. An error number >100000 indicates a fatal system error. Other error numbers indicate
that the user memory area provided is too small. In this case the (user) error numbers have the following meaning:
- Error number 1: No memory space available
- Error number 2: Maximum possible number of symbols exceeded
- Error number 3: Index 1 lies outside the valid value range
- Error number 4: Name already exists in channel
- Error number 5: Name already exists in NCK
If the alarm occurs after cycle programs, macro definitions or definitions for global user data (GUD) have been introduced,
the machine data for the user memory configuration has been configured incorrectly. In all other cases, changes to
machine data that is already correct lead to errors in the user memory configuration.
The following block names (2nd parameter) are known in the NCK (all system and user data blocks; in general, only

6020 Machine data have been changed - now memory %1 is reorganized

Parameters: %1 = Detailed information
Explanation: Machine data have been changed that define the NC user memory allocation. Data management has restructured the
memory in accordance with the altered machine data.
Meaning of the parameter value:
- AFS = The active file system was reconfigured. The files of the passive file system were retained.
- PFS/AFS = The passive and active file systems were reconfigured.
Via the machine data $MN_IS_AUTOMATIC_MEM_RECONFIG it is configured whether NCK configures the AFS

6035 Instead of %1 KB the system has only %2 KB of free user memory of type '%3'
Parameters: %1 = Free memory capacity in KB defined for the control model
%2 = Actual maximum capacity of free memory in KB
%3 = Type of memory, "D" =non-battery-backed, "S" =battery-backed
Explanation: The alarm can only occur after a 'cold start' (=NCK start-up with standard machine data). The alarm is only a notice. There
is no interference with any NCK functions. It shows that the NCK has less free user memory available than specified by
Siemens for this control variant. The value of the actually available free user memory can also be taken from the MD18050
$MN_INFO_FREE_MEM_DYNAMIC, MD18060 $MN_INFO_FREE_MEMS_STATIC.
Siemens supplies NCK with default settings that, depending on the model, have certain (free) memory space available for
the specific settings of the actual applications. The original factory setting of NCK systems is thus that the alarm does not
occur with a cold start.
Remedy: Reasons for the message:
- The NCK contains compile cycle software, that uses so much memory space that the hardware cannot provide the
required memory.
- The NCK runs on hardware that is not intended for this NCK release (i.e. that has not enough memory capacity).
- If the application runs properly with the remaining free user memory (i.e. can be setup without any errors), the message
can simply be ignored.
- If the actual application cannot be configured because there is not enough memory capacity available, either the existing
compile cycle must be reduced or, if possible, the system must be upgraded with additional memory space.

with 'arcedit' or Overwrite the MD in the MD picture and prevent the deletion of the machine data when writing the archive
(HMI: Set Ask_for_CFG_RESET.INI = 1 in 'slsp.ini'). Also refer to: Upgrade instructions P6.x.
- Error number 2: Error in the combination or while reloading compile cycles: Do not activate compile cycle.
- Error number 3: Error in the combination or while reloading compile cycles: Do not activate compile cycle.

Parameters: %1 = Channel ID
%2 = String (identifier)
%3 = -Not used-
%4 = Magazine number
Explanation: The tool cannot be moved into the selected tool magazine. There is no appropriate location for this tool. A suitable location
is mainly determined by the status. The status must indicate that this location is free, not disabled, not reserved and not
co-occupied by a tool that is too large. Furthermore, it is important that the type of tool matches the type of any magazine
location that may be free. (If, for example, all magazine locations are of the 'B' type and these are all free and the tool is
of type 'A', then this tool cannot be put into this magazine).

Remedy: - Check whether the magazine data have been defined correctly.
- Check whether there is still room in the magazine to add another tool; there may not be due to operating procedures.

Explanation: The specified command has been answered by the PLC with an invalid acknowledgment in the current context. The
following assignments are defined for "command no.":
1 Move tool, load or unload magazine
2 Prepare tool change
3 Execute tool change
4 Prepare tool change and execute with T command
5 Prepare tool change and execute with M command
7 Terminate canceled tool command
8 Check tool movement with reservation
9 Check tool movement
0 Transport acknowledgment
Parameters 2 and 3 designate the PLC command and the status number of the acknowledgment.
Example: Parameter 4 of the alarm message is 10. It is not defined that a buffer location has to be reserved for
asynchronous tool motion. In the example, the parameter is ignored by the NCK. Further possible causes for the alarm:
The tool change defined by the command is not possible. The magazine location specified in the invalid parameter does
not exist in the magazine.
The 3rd parameter - error identification - gives a more detailed description of the alarm. Meanings:
- 0 = not defined
- 1 = status not allowed or undefined status received by PLC
- 2 = source and/or target magazine no./location no. unknown
- 3 = not defined
- 4 = target magazine no. and/or location no. are not the end target in the tool motion command
- 5 = not defined
- 6 = source and/or target magazine no./location no. unknown during tool change
- 7 = PLC comm. with inconsistent data: either inconsistent magazine addresses in VDI or NCK command unequal to PLC
acknowledgment or both
- 8 = PLC comm. with inconsistent data: while rejecting a tool, the tool to be rejected was unloaded asynchronously. NCK
cannot perform a new selection.
- 9 = PLC comm. with inconsistent data: the command acknowledgment data wants to move a tool to a location that is
occupied by another tool.
- 10 = Asynchronous tool motion with reservation is only defined for the motion from a magazine to a buffer location.
- 11 = The replaced tool is within a multi-tool. PLC must not acknowledge the multi-tool position defined by the NCK with
another value.

Alarm display.
Remedy: - Check whether the tool status 'is being changed' ('H20') is set. If yes, then the appropriate tool change command must
first be completed by the PLC. Then the tool should be able to be moved.
- Check whether the tool data are correctly defined. Has the correct T number been specified?
- Check whether the move command has been correctly parameterized. Is the desired tool at the source location? Is the
target location suitable for taking the tool?
- Check whether the tool has already been loaded (if the alarm occurs while loading the tool).

6425 [Channel %1: ] Tool %2 cannot be placed in magazine %3 on location %4. Invalid definition of
magazine!
Explanation: The desired tool motion command - triggered from the HMI or PLC - is not possible. A movement request was issued to
put the tool in a location which does not satisfy the prerequisites for filling.
- Location is blocked or not free!
- Tool type does not match the location type!
- Tool possibly too large, adjacent locations are not free!
- If a tool is to be loaded or unloaded, the load/unload position must be of 'load location' type.
- If a tool is to be loaded or unloaded, is the magazine in question linked to the load/unload location?
See $TC_MDP1, $TC_MDP2.
Alarm display.

- Check whether there is still room in the magazine to add another tool; there may not be due to operating procedures.
- Check whether a location type hierarchy is defined and whether it, for example, does not allow insertion of a type 'A' tool
- Check whether the magazine in question is linked to the load/unload location or whether a distance has been defined.
- Check whether the load/unload position is of 'load location' type.

6430 Workpiece counter: overflow in table of monitored cutting edges.

Explanation: No more cutting edges can be entered in the piece counter table.
As many cutting edges can be noted for the workpiece counter as are possible in total in the NCK.
This means that if for each tool each cutting edge in each TO unit is used precisely once for a workpiece then the limit is
reached.
If several workpieces are made on several toolholders/spindles simultaneously, it is possible to note
MD18100 $MN_MM_NUM_CUTTING_EDGES_IN_TOA cutting edges for the workpiece counter for all of the workpieces.
If this alarm occurs, it means that cutting edges used subsequently are no longer quantity monitored until the table has
been emptied again, e.g. by means of the NC language command SETPIECE or by the relevant job from HMI, PLC (PI
service).
Alarm display.
Remedy: - Was decrementing of the piece counter forgotten? Then program SETPIECE in the part program, or add the correct
command in the PLC program.
- If the part program/PLC program is correct, then more memory should be set for tool cutting edges via the MD18100
$MN_MM_NUM_CUTTING_EDGES_IN_TOA (can only be performed with the necessary access rights!).

Alarm display.
Remedy: - Please inform the authorized personnel/service department.
- Make sure of how the NC is supposed to be configured! Is tool management or tool monitoring needed but not activated?
- Are you using a part program that is meant for a numerical control with tool management/tool monitoring? It is not possible
to start this program on the numerical control without tool management/tool monitoring. Either run the part program on the
appropriate NC control or edit the part program.

6442 [Channel %1: ] Function not executable. No tool assigned to desired magazine/magazine location
%2.
%2 = Magazine/magazine location no.
Explanation: PLC logic is presumably incorrect. Tool change with reject tool is configured. Preparatory command is pending. Selected
tool is (e.g. from PLC) unloaded from its location. PLC acknowledges preparatory command with 'Repeat tool selection'
(e.g. status =7). NCK cannot find the tool at the magazine location specified in the PLC command.
Or: Illegal operator intervention in an active tool selection (unloading of the tool to be selected) has occurred. Therefore the
PLC acknowledgment fails.
Alarm display.
Remedy: PLC programmer must note the following:
- Ensure that the tool is not removed from the specified magazine location (e.g. incorrect PLC program).
- Do not remove the tool from the programmed tool change before the final acknowledgment of the command (= unload).
!! It is however permissible to change the location of the tool to be loaded. The NCK can deal with this situation.
This alarm supplements Alarm 6405, if it contains the identifier 8. Therefore, the diagnostics should be easier.

Remedy: Please inform the authorized personnel/service department. Via the channel-specific MD20700:
$MC_REFP_NC_START_LOCK (NC Start without reference point) you can decide whether or not the axis has to be
referenced before NC Start. The start of referencing can be enabled channel-specific or axis-specific.
Channel-specific reference point approach: The rising edge of the NC/PLC interface signal DB21-30 DBX1.0 (Activate
referencing) starts an automatic sequence which starts the axes of the channel in the same sequence as specified in the
axis-specific MD34110 $MA_REFP_CYCLE_NR (axis sequence channel-specific referencing). 0: The axis does not
participate in channel-specific referencing, but it must be referenced for NC Start, -1: The axis does not participate in

current starting point
Explanation: When activating the cutter radius compensation with KONT the starting point of the approach block is within the
compensation circle and therefore already violates the contour.
If the cutter radius compensation is selected with G41/G42, the approach behavior (NORM or KONT) determines the
compensation movement if the present actual position is behind the contour. With KONT, a circle is drawn with the cutter
radius around the programmed initial point (= end point of the approach block). The tangent that passes through the
present actual position and does not violate the contour is the approach movement.
If the start point is within the compensation circle around the target point, no tangent passes through this point.
Alarm display.
Remedy: Place selection of the CRC such that the starting point of the approach movements comes to rest outside of the correction
circle around the target point (programmed traversing movements > compensation radius). The following possibilities are

If the cutter radius compensation is deselected via G40, the approach behavior (NORM or KONT) determines the
compensation movement if the programmed end point is behind the contour. With KONT, a circle is drawn with the cutter
radius about the last point at which the compensation is still active. The tangent passing through the programmed end
position and not violating the contour is the retraction movement.
If the start point is within the compensation circle around the target point, no tangent passes through this point.
Alarm display.
Remedy: Place deselection of the CRC such that the programmed end point comes to rest outside the compensation circle around
the last active compensation point. The following possibilities are available:
Deselection in the next block
Insert intermediate block

10757 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 Impermissible change of orientation while tool radius compensation is
active
Explanation: An orientation change has been programmed which is not permissible with the active tool radius compensation type (G
code of group 22, e.g. CUT2D or CUT2DF). As a rule, changes to the tool orientation are only permissible and useful if 3D
tool radius compensation is active.
An (impermissible) orientation change can also be triggered by a change of machining plane (G17 - G19).
Alarm display.
Remedy: Activate a G code from group 22 (e.g. CUT3DC), in which the programmed orientation change is permissible.
Execute the program with constant tool orientation.
If a plane change is necessary, first deactivate the tool radius compensation, and reactivate after the plane change.
continuation:
10758 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 curvature radius with variable compensation value too small
Explanation: The current cutter radius compensation (the cutter used) is too large for the programmed path radius.
In a block with variable tool radius compensation, a compensation must be possible either anywhere or nowhere on the
contour with the smallest and the largest compensation value from the programmed range. There must be no point on the
contour in which the curvature radius is within the variable compensation range.
If the compensation value varies its sign within a block, both sides of the contour are checked, otherwise only the
compensation side.

Remedy: Use smaller cutters or allow for a part of the cutter radius at the time of contour programming.
continuation:
10759 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 path is parallel to tool orientation

Explanation: In a block with spline or polynomial interpolation, the corrected path runs parallel to the tool orientation in at least one point,
i.e. the path has a tangent perpendicular to the compensation plane.
The tangent at a point on a path is regarded as parallel to the tool orientation if the angle between the two directions is less
than the limit value defined by MD21080 $MC_CUTCOM_PARALLEL_ORI_LIMIT.
However, in circumferential milling, single straight lines running parallel to the tool orientation are permissible, as well as
circles with a circle plane perpendicular to the compensation plane (application with smooth retraction from the groove).
Also only individually, if the circle contains a point with a tangent parallel to the tool orientation.
Straight lines in the direction of the tool orientation are not permissible in face milling (CUT3D, CUT3DF, CUT3DFS).
Alarm display.
Remedy: Do not use splines or polynomials when writing the contour section, but straight lines and circles instead. Divide up the tool
piece geometry and deselect the cutter radius compensation between the various sections.
continuation:
10760 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 helical axis is not parallel to tool orientation
Explanation: With active tool radius compensation a helix is only permissible if the helix axis is parallel to the tool, i.e. the circle plane

Alarm display.
Remedy: Orient helix axis perpendicular to the machining plane.
continuation:
10761 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 tool radius compensation for ellipse with more than one revolution not
possible
Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: When machining the inside of an ellipse, in parts of the ellipse the curvature radii are greater than or smaller than the cutter
radius compensation.
In ellipses, in this case the block would be split up into 4 subblocks with curvature radii that are greater than and less than
the compensation radius. Over several revolutions, there would be a tremendous increase in the amount of calculation
required by the unlimited number of resulting subblocks, and therefore this situation is rejected by the error message.
If compensation is possible everywhere or nowhere on the ellipse, then ellipses are also permissible that cover more than
one full revolution.
Alarm display.
Remedy: Use cutter with smaller radius or program motion block on blocks with no more than one revolution.

10762 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 too many empty blocks between two traversing blocks with active tool
radius compensation
Explanation: The maximum permissible number of empty blocks is limited by a machine data.
Alarm display.
Remedy: - Modify part program
- Modify machine data
- Check whether SBL2 is activated. With SBL2, a block is generated from each part program line which can lead to
exceeding the maximum permissible number of empty blocks between two traversing blocks.
continuation:
10763 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 path component of the block in the compensation plane becomes zero
Explanation: Due to collision monitoring with active tool radius compensation, the path component of the block in the compensation
plane becomes zero. If the original block contains no motion information perpendicular to the compensation plane, it
means that this block is excluded.
The alarm can be suppressed with MD11410 $MN_SUPPRESS_ALARM_MASK bit1 = 1.
Remedy: - The behavior is correct at narrow locations that cannot be machined with the active tool.
- Modify the part program if necessary.
- Use tool with smaller radius if necessary.
- Program CDOF/CDOF2.

Explanation: This alarm occurs when, with active tool radius compensation, the starting point used for calculating the compensation is
not identical to the end point of the preceding block. This situation can occur, for example, when a geometry axis is
traversed between two positions as a positioning axis or when, with an active kinematic transformation (e.g. 5-axis
transformation) the tool length compensation is altered.

10767 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 processing with tilt angle unequal 0 not possible
Explanation: When face milling with a torus milling cutter, the tilt angle must be 0 if the surface normal vector and the tool orientation
include an angle that is less than the limiting angle given by the MD21082 $MC_CUTCOM_PLANE_ORI_LIMIT, i.e. in this
case only the lead angle may be unequal to 0.
Alarm display.
Remedy: Modify part program. If necessary, use another tool (ball end mill).
continuation:
10768 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 illegal tool orientation with 3D tool radius compensation
Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: This alarm may occur during 3D face milling: the angle between the surface normal vector of the surface to be machined
and the largest surface normal vector of the tool surface is smaller than the limit value given by MD21080
$MC_CUTCOM_PARALLEL_ORI_LIMIT, or the tool is oriented such that machining would have to be performed from the
rear side of the surface. In this case, the largest surface normal vector is the vector the direction of which deviates most
from the direction in the tool point (i.e. parallel to the tool longitudinal axis).
With cylindrical tools or tools which end in a cylindrical part (e.g. the standard torus milling cutter), this vector is positioned
perpendicular to the tool vector. For this type of tool, the alarm indicates that the angle between the tool longitudinal axis
of, for example an envelope line of the cylinder, and the surface to be machined is smaller than the minimum permissible
value. With tools the (valid) surface of which ends in a tapered part instead of a cylindrical part (e.g. a beveled cutter or a
torus milling cutter where the torus is defined to be smaller than 90 degrees), this alarm indicates that the angle between
an envelope line of the taper and the surface to be machined is smaller than the minimum permissible value.
Alarm display.
Remedy: Modify part program. If necessary, use another tool.
continuation:
10769 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 Illegal surface normal vector with 3D tool radius compensation
Explanation: In 3D face milling, surface normal vector and path tangent vector must theoretically be perpendicular to one another, i.e.
they must be at 90° to one another. Since both vectors can be programmed independently of each other, deviations from
this angle are possible and allowed. This alarm is generated when the angle between surface normal vector and path
tangent vector becomes less than the limit angle given by the MD21084 $MC_CUTCOM_PLANE_PATH_LIMIT.

10770 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 change of corner type due to change of orientation with active tool radius
compensation
Explanation: The type of a corner (inside or outside corner) depends not only on the programmed path but also on the tool orientation.
For this purpose, the programmed path is projected in the plane perpendicularly to the actual tool orientation and the corner
type is determined there. If a change in orientation is programmed (in one or several blocks) between two traversing blocks,
resulting in the type of corner at the end of the first traversing block being different from that at the start point of the second

Alarm display.
continuation:
10773 [Channel %1: ] Illegal tool orientation in block %2 at inside corner with block %3
Explanation: On inside corners, the path of the traversing blocks concerned is reduced but the orientation change originally programmed
in the block is retained and is now carried out in synchronism with the shortened path. Because of the ensuing changed
relationship between path tangent, surface normal and tool orientation, singular points or points with impermissible side
angle can occur in 3D face milling. This is not allowed.

Explanation: When the path axis waveforms were analyzed during block preparation, a large local deviation relative to the path velocity
was detected in the velocity waveform of one or more path axes.
Such a situation can have the following causes:
- The path runs close to singular positions of the machine kinematics.
- The programmed contour characteristic is very uneven.
- The FGROUP definition is unfavorable relative to the contour.
- The setting MD28530 $MC_MM_PATH_VELO_SEGMENTS=0 is inadequate for curvature changes occurring within one
block. This problem occurs more frequently with G643, G644 and COMPCAD.
- A kinematic transformation has been implemented with insufficient numerical accuracy.
The path velocity is generally reduced substantially in order to avoid axis overloads safely. An apparent machine standstill
may occur. Severe axis movements occur suddenly as soon as the singular position is reached.
Warning display.
Remedy: Dividing a block into several smaller ones often provides an improvement.
If MD28530 $MC_MM_PATH_VELO_SEGMENTS=0 is set, then the alarm may be avoidable by a value MD28530

12164 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 access protection programmed more than once %3
%3 = Duplicate protection level programming
Explanation: The language commands APW and APR are used to program access protection for access to both the part program and
the OPI. APWP and APRP define access protection from the part program; APWB and APRB define access protection via
the OPI. Programming APW in the same block together with APWP or APWB or programming APR in the same block
together with APRP or APRB will lead to a conflict, as the protection level assignment is no longer unique.
Alarm display.
Remedy: If access protection in the part program and on the OPI needs to be set to diffferent levels, only the language commands
APWP, APWB, APRP and APRB may be used. If access protection is to be the same in the part program and on the OPI,
it can also be programmed with APW or APR, although in this case the APWP and APWB or APRP und APRB commands
must not be programmed in the same block.

%3 = Source string
Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: When calling a procedure (a subroutine) it is found that the type of the actual parameter cannot be converted into the type
of the formal parameter. There are two possible cases:
- Call-by-reference parameter: Actual parameter and formal parameter must be of precisely the same type, e.g. STRING,
STRING.
- Call-by-value parameter: Actual parameter and formal parameter can in principle be different providing conversion is
basically possible. In the present case, however, the types are generally not compatible, e.g. STRING -> REAL.
Overview of type conversions:
- from REAL to: REAL: yes, INT: yes*, BOOL: yes1), CHAR: yes*, STRING: -, AXIS: -, FRAME: -
- from INT to: REAL: yes, INT: yes, BOOL: yes1), CHAR: if value 0 ...255, STRING: -, AXIS: -, FRAME: -
- from BOOL to: REAL: yes, INT: yes, BOOL: yes, CHAR: yes, STRING: -, AXIS: -, FRAME: -
- from CHAR to: REAL: yes, INT: yes, BOOL: yes1), CHAR: yes, STRING: yes, AXIS: -, FRAME: -
- from STRING to: REAL: -, INT: -, BOOL: yes2), CHAR: only if 1 character, STRING: yes, AXIS: -, FRAME: -
- from AXIS to: REAL: -, INT: -, BOOL: -, CHAR: -, STRING: -, AXIS: yes, FRAME: -
- from FRAME to: REAL: -, INT: -, BOOL: -, CHAR: -, STRING: -, AXIS: -, FRAME: yes
1) Value <> 0 corresponds to TRUE, value ==0 corresponds to FALSE.

14004 [Channel %1: ] Program %2 cannot be started because of a channel-specific start disable
%2 = (path with program name)
Explanation: The selected program %2 in channel%1 cannot be executed because the channel-specific start disable is set for this
channel.
Background: When ShopMill or ShopTurn programs are selected or changed, the HMI performs a consistency check of
the parameters that have been entered. During this time, the processing of the selected NC program is inhibited by the HMI
setting what is known as the "channel-specific start disable". If an NC start is now rejected because of a set channel-
specific start disable, then alarm 14004 is output as a function of MD 11411 $MN_ENABLE_ALARM_MASK bit 15. The
alarm is also output in the event of a block search, but in this case it is not dependent on MD 11411
$MN_ENABLE_ALARM_MASK bit 15.
Remedy: Repeat NC start

NC alarms
Explanation: Program %3 cannot be executed, because the program-specific start disable has been set for this file.
Background: When an editing operation for a ShopMill or ShopTurn program has been completed, the HMI performs a
consistency check of the parameters that have been entered. During this time, CNC program processing is inhibited by
setting what is known as the "program-specific start disable" by the HMI. If NC start is pressed during the test, the start is
not executed, and alarm 14005 is output as a function of MD 11411 $MN_ENABLE_ALARM_MASK bit 6.
Alarm 14005 is also output if the part program processing encounters a subroutine for which the file attribute "start disable"
is set.
After the test step has been completed, the program processing can continue by pressing NC start.

Explanation: Program %3 cannot be executed because it has been disabled by another application, for example the HMI Editor.
Background: Program %3 is on an external data carrier (CF card, network drive, USB device), and should be executed
from there in EES mode (Execution from External Storage). But the program cannot be processed because it has been
opened for writing by another application, for example the HMI Editor, and the WRITE lock has been set for this file.

- M/T function replacement
- event-driven program calls (PROG_EVENT)
- selection of a PLC ASUB via PI "_N_ASUP__" and/or FB-4
- calling a PLC ASUB via interrupt interface (FC-9)
There are various reasons for the alarm:
- the subroutine is not in the part program memory
- the subroutine is not in the search path (selected directory, _N_SPF_DIR or cycle directories _N_CUS_DIR,
_N_CMA_DIR, _N_CST_DIR)
- the subroutine has not been released or is being edited
- faulty absolute path name in subroutine call:
Examples of complete path names: /_N_directoryName_DIR/_N_programmName_SPF or /_N_WKS_DIR/
_N_wpdName_WPD/_N_programmName_SPF. directoryName: MPF, SPF, CUS, CMA, CST (predefined directories).
wpdName: application-specific designator for workpiece directory (max. of 24 characters). programmName: Name of

Explanation: The maximum nesting depth of 16 program levels has been exceeded.
Subroutines can be called from the main program, and these in turn may have a nesting depth of 15.
For interrupt routines, two additional program levels can be used. This means that the total number of program levels is
increased to 18.
The program levels are jointly used by user programs and Siemens cycles and/or Siemens applications such as ShopMill

14016 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 error when calling the subroutine via M/T function
Explanation: The following conflict was detected in a subprogram call per M or T function:
In the block referenced by parameter %2:
- An M or T function replacement has already been activated
- A modal subprogram call is active
- A subprogram return jump is programmed
- The end of part program is programmed
- An M98 subprogram call is active (only in external language mode)
- A T function replacement is programmed with D function programming in the same part program line with active TLC (G43/
G44) in the ISO2 system.
- A T function replacement is programmed, configured at the end of block, and a subprogram call, for example by a modal
cycle call.
Alarm display.
Remedy: An M or T function replacement is only possible if a subprogram call or return jump has not already been performed as a
result of other program constructs. The part program must be corrected accordingly.
If a T function replacement is configured with execution at end of block and a subprogram call is programmed in the same
block, the T function replacement must be executed at start of block. This means that MD10719

14040 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 error in end point of circle

Explanation: In circular interpolation, either the circle radii for the initial point and the end point are further apart or the circle center points
are further apart than specified in the machine data.
1. In circle radius programming the starting and end points are identical, thus the circle position is not determined by
starting and end points.
2. Radii: The NCK calculates from the present starting point and the other programmed circle parameters the radii for the
starting and the end point.
An alarm message is issued if the difference between the circle radii is either
- greater than the value in the MD21000 $MC_CIRCLE_ERROR_CONST (for small radii, if the programmed radius is
smaller than the quotient of the machine data MD21000 $MC_CIRCLE_ERROR_CONST divided by MD21010
$MC_CIRCLE_ERROR_FACTOR), or
- greater than the programmed radius multiplied by the MD21000 $MC_CIRCLE_ERROR_FACTOR (for large radii, if the
programmed radius is greater than the quotient of the machine data MD21010 $MC_CIRCLE_ERROR_CONST divided
by MD21010 $MC_CIRCLE_ERROR_FACTOR).
3. Center points: A new circle center is calculated using the circle radius at the starting position. It lies on the mid-
perpendicular positioned on the connecting straight line from the starting point to the end point of the circle. The angle in
the radian measure between both straight lines from the starting point to the center calculated/programmed as such must

Explanation: The alarm may have the following causes:
The tangent direction is not defined for tangent circle, e.g. because no other travel block has been programmed before the
current block. No circle can be formed from start and end point as well as tangent direction because - seen from the start
point - the end point is located in the opposite direction to that indicated by the tangent.
It is not possible to form a tangent circle since the tangent is located perpendicular to the active plane.

Explanation: One of the following programming errors has occurred:
1. The keyword WAITP(x) "Wait with the block change until the specified positioning axes has reached its end point", was
used for an axis that is not a positioning axis.
2. G74 "Reference point approach from the program" was programmed for a spindle. (Only axis addresses are

3. The keyword POS/POSA was used for a spindle. (For spindle positioning, keywords SPOS and SPOSA should be
programmed.)
4. If the alarm occurs for the function "Thread tapping without compensating chuck " (G331) the following reasons are
conceivable:
- The master spindle is not in position-controlled operation.
- Incorrect master spindle
- Master spindle without encoder
5. An axis name that is no longer available has been programmed, e.g. when using axial variables as index. Or it was
programmed as index NO_AXIS.
6. If 14092 is output as note for alarm 20140 motion synchronized action: traverse the command axis, then the the following
causes are possible:
- The axis is presently being traversed by the NC program.
- An overlaid movement is active for the axis.
- The axis is active as slave axis of a coupling.
- An interpolation compensation such as a temperature compensation is active for the axis.

This alarm may occur if a transformation is selected which uses this axis.
In the case of manual axes with Hirth tooth systems, the transformation may involve a position which, due to the rounding

14112 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 programmed orientation path not possible, error no. %3
%3 = Error code
Explanation: In a 5-axis transformation, the two orientation axes place a coordinate system, comprising lengths and circles of latitude,
on a spherical surface. However, in some cases, the complete orientation sphere cannot be reached by the tool orientation.
This could be the case, for example, if the directions of rotation of the two orientation axes are not perpendicular to one
another. Then, there are usually are up to 2 pole caps on the orientation sphere, the orientation of which cannot be set with
the existing kinematics of the machine. This alarm is output if an orientation is programmed that lies outside the possible
range on the orientation sphere.
A non-settable orientation can only be specified by vector programming (direct programming of the vector components,
Euler or RPY angle, programming with virtual orientation axes), whereas a non-settable orientation cannot arise when the
rotary axis positions are programmed. Non-settable intermediate orientations can also only occur if vector interpolation is
active, whereas it can never occur with rotary axis interpolation. This alarm can therefore never occur if rotary axes are
programmed and the orientation is traversed by means of rotary axis interpolation.
The error number that is also output differentiates between specific situations:
1: The range of settable orientation is limited, but it is not restricted to one plane. This is, for example, the case with "normal"
nutator kinematics CA' with a rotary axis inclined at 45 degrees. The possible orientation range is then restricted to one
hemisphere.
2: The maximum settable orientation range is reduced to one plane. This means that the orientation can only be swiveled
in one plane. This situation is often caused by an incorrect, unwanted configuration of the orientation axes. This is, for
example, the case if the orientation axes are entered in the incorrect order. For example, if the axis sequence AC is
specified for tool kinematics instead of CA. If the initial setting of the tool is in the Z direction, the orientation can only be
swiveled in the YZ plane. This also occurs if the initial setting of the tool points in the X direction for CA tool kinematics.
Alarm display.
Remedy: Change the part program and program an orientation that can be set with the kinematics of the machine. The alarm can
also be caused by an error in the configuration of the orientation axes of the transformation. In this case change the
configuration.

14152 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 tool carrier: invalid orientation. Error code: %3
%3 = Error code
Explanation: An attempt was made to define a tool orientation by means of the active frame which cannot be reached with the current
toolholder kinematics. This case can always occur when both rotary axes of the toolholder are not perpendicular to one
another or when the toolholder has fewer than two rotary axes;
or when rotary axis positions must be set that violate the corresponding axis limitations. Together with the alarm, an error
code is displayed that specifies the cause in detail:
The error code has the following meaning:
1: 1st rotary axis of the first solution violates the lower limit
2: 1st rotary axis of the first solution violates the upper limit
10: 2nd rotary axis of the first solution violates the lower limit
20: 2nd rotary axis of the first solution violates the upper limit
100: 1st rotary axis of the second solution violates the lower limit
200: 1st rotary axis of the second solution violates the upper limit
1000: 2nd rotary axis of the second solution violates the lower limit
2000: 2nd rotary axis of the second solution violates the upper limit
3: The required orientation cannot be set with the given axis configuration
Several of the error codes that indicate a violation of the axis limits can occur simultaneously
As, when an axis limit is violated, an attempt is made to reach a valid position within the permissible axis limits by adding
or substracting multiples of 360 degrees, it is - if this is not possible - not unequivocally defined whether the lower or upper
axis limit has been violated.

14156 [Channel %1: ] Toolholder selection error at reset

Explanation: The settings in MD20110 $MC_RESET_MODE_MASK require that an active orientable toolholder is maintained after the
reset. This is done by deselecting the old orientable toolholder and then reselecting it with data that may have been
modified. If an error occurs during the reselection, this alarm is issued (as a warning) and then an attempt is made to select
the orientable toolholder in the initial setting. If this second attempt is successful, the reset cycle is continued without any
further alarms.
Typically, the alarm only occurs when the old orientable toolholder has been selected with TCOFR, and its axis directions
have been changed in such a way before the reset that a setting suitable for the associated frame is no longer possible.
If there is another cause for the alarm, this results in an alarm also being issued when attempting to select in the initial
setting. This is then also displayed in plain text.
Remedy: Check the program.

%3 = Error code
Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: An error occurred during the activation of the CUTMOD or CUTMODK function. The type of error is more closely defined
by the error code number:
For errors with error codes less than 100, MD20125 $MC_CUTMOD_ERR can be used to determine whether the error
condition is to lead to the issue of an alarm, and whether the alarm is only to be displayed or also trigger a program stop.
Errors with error codes greater than or equal to 100 always lead to a program stop.
Error code:
1 No valid cutting direction is defined for the active tool.
2 The cutting edge angles (clearance angle and holder angle) of the active tool are both zero.
3 The clearance angle of the active tool has an impermissible value (less than 0 degrees or greater than 180 degrees).
4 The holder angle of the active tool has an impermissible value (less than 0 degrees or greater than 90 degrees).
5 The tool tip angle of the active tool has an impermissible value (less than 0 degrees or greater than 90 degrees).
6 The cutting edge position - holder angle combination of the active tool is impermissible (with cutting edge positions 1
through 4, the holder angle must be greater than or equal to 90 degrees, with cutting edge positions 5 through 8, it must
be less than or equal to 90 degrees).
7 The tool tip is not located in the machining plane, and the angle GAMMA between the tool tip and machining plane
exceeds the upper limit specified using setting data SD42998 $SC_CUTMOD_PLANE_TOL.
8 The cutting plate is not located in the machining plane. Angle ALPHA is greater than 1 degree. The angle ALPHA is
the angle of rotation around the coordinate axis, which is perpendicular to both the axis of rotation of the angle BETA and
the axis of rotation of the angle GAMMA (with G18 the X axis).
100 The rotation matrix to be used for calculating the modification of the cutting edge position does not describe a pure
rotation, that is it contains mirroring, scaling or shearing.
101 When CUTMODK is activated, there is no valid orientation transformation active. A 5 or 6-axis transformation defined
with kinematic chains must be active.
102 The language command "CUTMODK" was called with an invalid parameter. Only the parameters "NEW", "CLEAR",
"ON" and "OFF" are permitted.

Remedy: Correct the tool data of the active tool, or modify the part program.
Alternatively, suppress the alarm for all errors with error numbers less than 100 with the aid of MD20125
$MC_CUTMOD_ERR.

Explanation: Initialization blocks are generated (or not) after control power-up, (program) RESET and (program) START, depending on
the settings in machine data MD20110 $MC_RESET_MODE_MASK and MD20112 $MC_START_MODE_MASK.
Errors can occur because of incorrect machine data settings. The errors are output with the same error messages as would
appear if the function had been incorrectly programmed in the part program.
This alarm is also generated in order to indicate that an error relates to the initialization sequence.
Parameter %3 specifies which function triggers the alarm:
Control power-up and (program) RESET:
Value:
0: Error during synchronization preprocessing/main run
1: Error on selection of tool length compensation
2: Error on selection of transformation
3: Error on selection of work offset
The macro definitions and cycle interfaces are also read in during the power-up procedure. If an error occurs here, this is
indicated by value = 4, or value = 5
6: Error creating 2 1/2 D protection areas during power up.
(Program) START:

100: Error during synchronization preprocessing/main run
101: Error on selection of tool length compensation
102: Error on selection of transformation
103: Error on selection of synchronized spindle
104: Error on selection of work offset
105: Error after WRITE lock on the selected program
Particularly when tool management is active, it is possible that a tool on the spindle or the toolholder is disabled but still
needs to be activated.
These tools are automatically activated on RESET. On START, machine data MD22562
$MC_TOOL_CHANGE_ERROR_MODE can be used to specify whether an alarm is to be generated or an automatic
bypass strategy selected.
If the parameter contains 3 values from 200 to 203, this means that an insufficient number of NC blocks is available for NC
block preparation on certain commands (ASUB start, overstore selection, teach-in).

14764 NCU-Link cannot transfer all non-cyclic link messages of type %2 immediately
Parameters: %1 = Type of non-cyclic link message (e.g. link variables, machine data, alarms)
Explanation: This alarm is used by cycle developers for diagnostic purposes.
The activation of these alarms can be configured with MD11416 $MN_LINK_DYNMSG_ALARM_MASK. The specified
type corresponds to the relevant bit in MD11416 (see bit description there).
A value assignment to a link variable (e.g. $a_dld[16]=19) is performed in the main run, and transferred via NCU link to all
NCUs in the link network. The bandwidth of this connection restricts the number of value assignments which can be
transferred in one interpolation cycle.
All value assignments are combined in the next main run block and performed immediately this block is executed. A main
run block is the block at which you would stop in single block mode SLB1.
Examples:
Blocks with a real traversing motion (G0 X100), Stopre, G4, WAITM, WAITE,...
The alarm occurs if the number of link variables set in any interpolation cycle exceeds the number that can be transferred.
The link variables are not transferred until one of the next interpolation cycles. The assignment is not lost!
Warning display.
Remedy: Insert main run blocks between the assignments if the program sequence allows. See also $A_LINK_TRANS_RATE.
continuation:
14765 NCU link cannot transfer all link variables

Explanation: A value assignment to a link variable (e.g. $a_dld[16]=19) is performed in the main run and transferred via NCU link to all
NCUs in the link network. The bandwidth of this connection restricts the number of value assignments which can be
transferred in one interpolation cycle. Assignment operations which are not transferred are stored in a buffer memory. This
buffer is full!
All value assignments are combined in the next main run block and performed immediately this block is executed.
A main run block is the block at which you would stop in single block mode SLB1.
Examples: Blocks with a real traversing movement (G0 X100), Stopre, G4, WAITM, WAITE,...
Link variable scanning operations are not affected (e.g.: R100= $a_dld[16])

Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: A maximum of 5 auxiliary functions of type "M" may be entered in an NC block. The upper limit is the total of programmed
and implicitely generated M auxiliary functions. Implicit auxiliary functions M19 and M70 are generated, if in MD35035
$MA_SPIND_FUNCTION_MASK, bit 19 has been set for M19 and/or bit 20 for M70. M19 is generated with SPOS and
SPOSA depending on the configuration. The same applies to M70 and transition into axis operation. The address
extension corresponds to the spindle number like it is output to the PLC.
Alarm display.
Remedy: - Distribute the M auxiliary functions and spindle functions that implicitely generate M19 and M70 to several blocks.
- Deactivate any implicit auxiliary functions that are not required in MD35035 $MA_SPIND_FUNCTION_MASK, bit 19 and/

In the user-defined auxiliary functions, the maximum number of auxiliary functions per group in the NCK system settings
has been defined for all auxiliary functions by means of the MD11100 $MN_AUXFU_MAXNUM_GROUP_ASSIGN
(default: 1)
For each user-defined auxiliary function to be assigned to a group, the assignment is effected through 4 channel-specific
machine data.
Return jump from asynchronous subprogram with M02/M17/M30, whereby the M code is not alone in the block. This is
impermissible if the asynchronous subprogram interrupts a block with WAITE, WAITM or WAITMC. Remedy: Program

Explanation: With a CHANDATA instruction, the data input for a channel is selected that has not been activated.
Alarm display.
Remedy: This is an informational alarm referring to the fact that the file loaded into the NCK contains data of an inactive channel. The
number of the inactive channel is specified. Subsequently, the data of this channel are not available in the NCK.
The alarm may have two causes:
(1) The channel is supposed to be activated by a following NCK RESET/POWER ON, i.e. the file must subsequently be
reloaded.If the alarm occurs again, the reason is: (2) the specified channel is actually not supposed to be activated,
however, the file contains the relevant data.
For the 2nd reason, please check whether the system has correctly not activated the channel mentioned.
If the channel has been activated, operation may be continued after another NCK RESET/POWER ON without further
measures, i.e. reloading the file is not required. If the channel has not been activated, make sure that the channel
inactivated by mistake is re-activated.
If the settings of the channel activation are part of the file to be loaded (e.g. archive file), the file must either be modified

15120 If a power failure occurs now, the most recently changed data will be lost (index/buffer size = %1)
Parameters: %1 = Index/buffer size
Explanation: Notification alarm. The alarm has no negative impact on the current machining.
One of the system-internal data buffers, in which the last changed, buffered data are stored,
has overflowed because the current data change rate is too high.
The alarm warns that a spontaneous power failure in this situation
(mains fault, disconnect the system from the power supply) would
cause a loss of the immediately previously changed buffered data
(tool data, part programs, R variables, GUDs,...)
For information, parameter %1 specifies the index of the machine data,
and the buffer size set there.
Remedy: If the alarm is present only sporadically, it can simply be regarded as a notification.
The regular control behavior is not affected.
If the cause should not or cannot be eliminated, the alarm can be suppressed by setting
MD11415 $MN_SUPPRESS_ALARM_MASK_2; Bit3=1 ('H8').
If the alarm is permanently present, please inform the authorized personnel/service department.
If the system is used in an environment in which a power failure cannot occur,
this alarm output can be prevented by MD18232 $MN_MM_ACTFILESYS_LOG_FILE_MEM[ index ] = 0.
The value of MD18232 $MN_MM_ACTFILESYS_LOG_FILE_MEM[ index ] may be increased.

If this is not an option, the number of data changing per unit time must be reduced.

15122 Power ON after power failure: %1 data were restored, of which %2 machine data, %3 errors.
Parameters: %1 = Number of data
%2 = Number of machine data
%3 = Number of errors occurred
Explanation: Notification alarm. The alarm has no negative effect as long as %3 the number of errors occurred is zero.
%1 indicates the number of elementary and complex data restoring steps which were taken after a power OFF during
power ON orduring a power failure to restore the persistent NCK data.
%2 indicates the number of restored machine data. If the value is larger than zero, another warm restart (NCK reset) may
be necessary to make the - possibly configuring - machine data changes prior to the power failure effective.
%3 indicates the number of errors occurred during data restoring.
Remedy: As long as %3 number of errors occurred is zero, the alarm is only informative.
As long as %3 number of errors occurred is larger than zero, the alarm indicates a software error.
Further machining with the data is not recommended.
Please load a suitable archive file before continuing machining to avoid subsequent problems.
File /_N_MPF_DIR/_N_SIEMDIAGMEMPF_MPF contains information that may help Siemens for error diagnostics.

15150 [Channel %1: ] Block %2 reload from external canceled

Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: Execution from external was canceled because the reload buffer does not have enough machine function blocks
(traversing blocks, auxiliary function, dwell time etc.). Background: When already executed machine function blocks are
released, memory becomes available in the reload buffer. If machine function blocks are no longer released, nothing can
be reloaded - this results in a deadlock situation.
Examples:
- Definition of extremely long curve tables via execution from external.
- REPEAT command: REPEAT loop does not lie completely within the reload buffer.
Alarm display.
Remedy: Insert machine function blocks into the part program.
- Increase the size of the reload buffer (MD18360 $MN_MM_EXT_PROG_BUFFER_SIZE).
- Decrease the size of the curve table (Note: Blocks within CTABDEF/CTABEND are not machine function blocks).
- REPEAT command: Replace REPEAT loop by EXTCALL call.

16020 [Channel %1: ] Repositioning in block %2 is not possible

Explanation: Programming or operator action incorrect:
Repositioning via REPOS command is only possible in an asynchronous subprogram (interrupt routine).
If the REPOS command was programmed, e.g. in the main program or in a cycle, part program execution is cancelled with
alarm 16020.
In addition, the alarm is output in the following situations:

- An axis to be repositioned was an oscillating axis with synchronous infeed (OSCILL) in the interrupted block and is now
in a state that does not allow it to be traversed as a oscillating axis. Remedy: Change the axis to "neutral axis" state before
repositioning with WAITP.
- An axis to be repositioned was an infeed axis for an oscillating axis in the interrupted block; now it can no longer be
traversed as one. Remedy: Change the axis back to "POS axis" state before repositioning.
- Thread cutting (G33, G34, G35, G335, G336) was active in the interrupted block.

coordinate system
Explanation: In the rotated coordinate system, traversing of a geometry axis as positioning axis (i.e. along its axis vector in the rotated

Explanation: If programming requires a dynamic response adjustment from one thread element to the next, a check is made to see if
the path length is long enough to comply with the dynamic limit values. Only a part of the programmed path length can be
used for this smoothing because the programmed target speed of the thread block for the required thread geometry (thread
pitch, spindle speed) has to be reached and output. It must be assumed that the dynamic limit values will be exceeded for
the dynamic response adjustment to the required thread geometry.

Explanation: The language functions WAITMC, SETM, CLEARM and MSG must be programmed in separate NC blocks. To avoid
velocity drops, these blocks are attached to the next NC block internally in the NCK (for WAITMC to the previous NC block).
For this reason, there must always be an executable block (not a calculation block) between the NC blocks. An executable
NC block always includes e.g. travel movements, a help function, STOPRE, dwell time etc.
Note: This does not apply to the programming of MSG with the additional parameter "1", in this case a separate block is
generated, which interrupts the continuous-path mode.

16933 [Channel %1: ] Interrupt treatment: action '%2<ALNX>' not allowed in the current state
Explanation: If a temporary standstill has occurred because of a Reorg event across block boundaries, it is possible that a block without
Reorg capability has been loaded. In this situation, it is unfortunately necessary to cancel the Reorg event handling! Reorg
events are, e.g. cancelation subprogram, delete distance-to-go and interrupts.

NC Stop on alarm.
Remedy: Cancel program with the RESET key.
continuation:
16934 [Channel %1: ] Interrupt treatment: action '%2<ALNX>' not possible due to stop
Explanation: Reorg events are, e.g. cancelation subprogram, delete distance to go and interrupts, axis exchange, termination of follow-
up mode. Two Reorg events overlap in this situation. The 2nd Reorg event coincides with the 1st block generated by the
previous event. (e.g. an axis exchange is induced twice in rapid succession). Axis exchange leads to Reorg in the channels
in which an axis is removed without preparation. This block must be stopped in the above sequence in order to prevent the
interpolator buffer from overflowing. This can be achieved by pressing the Stop or StopAll key, configuring an alarm with
INTERPRETERSTOP or by decode single block.

continuation:
16941 [Channel %1: ] Action '%2<ALNX>' rejected because no program event has been executed yet
Explanation: The setting of the MD20108 $MC_PROG_EVENT_MASK forces an asynchronous subprogram to be triggered
automatically on RESET or PowerOn. The implicitly triggered asynchronous subprograms are normally called "Event-
triggered program call" or "Program event".
In the alarm situation, this asynchronous subprogram could not yet be activated; that is why the action (normally start of
part program) must be rejected.
Reasons for the fact that the asynchronous subprogram could not be triggered:
1. The asynchronous subprogram does not exist (/_N_CMA_DIR/_N_PROG_EVENT_SPF)
2. The asynchronous subprogram is allowed to start in the referenced state only (see MD11602
$MN_ASUP_START_MASK)
3. READY is missing (because of alarm)

16942 [Channel %1: ] Start program command action '%2<ALNX>' not possible
Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: Currently, the alarm occurs only in combination with the SERUPRO action. SERUPRO stands for search via program test.
SERUPRO is currently searching the target and has therefore switched this channel to the program test mode. With the
START program command in channel 1, another channel 2 would actually be started, which means that axes would really
be started during the search action.
If this alarm is switched off (see help), the user can make use of the above behavior by initially selecting via PLC the
program test mode in channel 2, leaving channel 2 executing until its natural end, stopping channel 2 in order to deselect
program test again.
Alarm display.
NC Stop on alarm.
Remedy: Alarm can be switched off with MD10708 $MN_SERUPRO_MASK bit 1.
continuation:
16943 [Channel %1: ] Action '%2<ALNX>' not possible due to ASUB

Explanation: The action in the 2nd parameter was rejected, since an asynchronous subprogram is currently active.
Currently, only the integrated search run is rejected with this alarm. The integrated search run is activated, if search run
is triggered in the Stop program state. In other words: Parts of a program have already been executed and a following
program part is "skipped" with search run in order to continue the program afterwards.
The event is not possible if the program is stopped within an asynchronous subprogram or if an asynchronous subprogram
had been selected before the event. An asynchronous subprogram is selected, when the triggering asynchronous
subprogram event arrives, but the asynchronous subprogram cannot be started (e.g. the asynchronous start program is
not started because of a read-in disable or because the Stop key is active).
In this case, it is irrelevant whether a user ASUB or a system ASUB has been triggered. User ASUBs are activated via FC-9
or via the fast inputs.
The following events lead to system ASUBS:
- Mode change
- Overstore on
- Canceling subprogram level
- Switching on of single block, type 2
- Setting machine data effective
- Setting user data effective
- Change skip levels
- Dry run on/off
- Program test off
- Correction block alarms
- Editing modi in Teach
- External work offset
- Axis exchange

16944 [Channel %1: ] Action '%2<ALNX>' not possible due to active search blocks
Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: The NCK is currently processing either the action blocks of the search run or the approach motion after the search run. In
this situation, the action (2nd parameter of the alarm) must be rejected. Currently, only the integrated search run is rejected
with this alarm. The integrated search run is activated, if search run is triggered in the Stop program state. In other words:
Parts of a program have already been executed and a following program part is "skipped" with search run in order to
continue the program afterwards.
Remedy: Repeat the action after the approach motion of the search run.
continuation:
16945 [Channel %1: ] Action '%2<ALNX>' delayed up to the block end

Explanation: The currently executing action (e.g. dry run on/off, change skip levels, etc.) should be active immediately, but it can become
active not earlier than at the end of the block, since a thread is currently being machined. The action is activated with a slight
delay.
Example: Dry run is started in the middle of the thread, then traversing at high speed does not start before the next block.
Remedy: Alarm can be switched off via MD11410 $MN_SUPPRESS_ALARM_MASK bit17==1.
continuation:
16946 [Channel %1: ] Start via START is not allowed

Explanation: This alarm is active with "Group Serupro" only. "Group Serupro" is activated by means of MD10708
$MN_SERUPRO_MASK, Bit 2 and enables the retrace support of entire channel groups during block search.
The MD22622 $MC_DISABLE_PLC_START specifies which channel is generally started from the PLC and which channel
is only allowed to be started from another channel via the START part program command.
This alarm occurs if the channel was started via the START part programm command and MD22622
$MC_DISABLE_PLC_START==FALSE was set.
Remedy: Modify MD22622 $MC_DISABLE_PLC_START of switch off "Group Serupro" (see MD10708 $MN_SERUPRO_MASK).

16949 Correspondence between marker of channel %1 and channel %2 is invalid.

%2 = Channel ID
Explanation: This channel defines a WAIT marker with other channels, which on their part have no correspondence with this wait marker.
This channel's WAIT marker has no explicit counterpart in the other channel; i.e. the channels do not mutually wait.
============================================================
Example
Ch 3 Ch 5 Ch 7
WAITM(99,3,5) WAITM(99,3,5) WAITM(99,5,7)
The wait markers in channels 3 and 5 mutually wait for each other and channel 7 only waits for channel 5. Therefore,
channel 7 may continue when 5 and 7 have reached the wait marker, but channel 3 is still far in front of the wait marker.
When it continues, channel 7 deletes its wait marker. When wait marker 99 is reached again, you can no longer determine
the behavior precisely.
============================================================
Remedy: In each wait marker, list all channels with which you want to synchronize, or suppress the alarm with MD11410
$MN_SUPPRESS_ALARM_MASK, bit 23.
============================================================
Sample solution A:
Ch 3 Ch 5 Ch 7

============================================================
Sample solution B:

16950 [Channel %1: ] Search run with hold block

Explanation: Informational alarm.
The search run was not performed on the interruption block, instead, it touches down shortly before that. This so-called
"hold block" is generated by the part program command IPTRLOCK, or implicitly defined by MD22680
$MC_AUTO_IPTR_LOCK. This is to prevent you from performing a search run in critical program areas (e.g. gear
hobbing). The alarm also displays that, instead of searching for the block that actually was interrupted before, another
block is being searched for. This behavior is desired and the alarm serves only informational purposes.

16951 [Channel %1: ] Search run in a protected program section.

Explanation: A part programmer can define protected part program sections with the language commands IPTRLOCK and
IPTRUNLOCK. Every search run in these program sections will then be acknowledged with alarm 16951. In other words:
When the alarm appears, the user has started a search run (Serupro type) and the search target lies in a protected area.
A protected area can also be defined implicitly with the MD22680 $MC_AUTO_IPTR_LOCK.
Note:
The alarm can only be generated if the simulation has been completed during the search run. The alarm cannot be output

continuation:
16957 [Channel %1: ] Stop-Delay area is suppressed

Explanation: The program area (Stop-Delay area), which is bracketed by DELAYFSTON and DELAYFSTOF, could not be activated.
Every stop therefore becomes effective immediately and is not delayed!
This occurs every time, when braking into a stop Stop-Delay area, i.e. a braking process starts before the Stop-Delay area
and ends not earlier than in the Stop-Delay area.
If the Stop-Delay area is entered with override 0, the Stop-Delay area can also not be activated
Example: a G4 before the Stop-Delay area allows the user to reduce the override to 0. The next block in the Stop-Delay
area then starts with override 0 and the alarm situation described occurs.

- Number of cutting edges: MD18100 $MN_MM_NUM_CUTTING_EDGES_IN_TOA
Tools, grinding data blocks, cutting edges can be used independently of the tool management.
The memory for the following data is available only if the corresponding bit has been set in MD18080

- Number of magazines: MD18084 $MN_MM_NUM_MAGAZINE
- Number of magazine locations: MD18086 $MN_MM_NUM_MAGAZINE_LOCATION
The following variable is determined by the software configuration: Number of magazine spacing data blocks: P2 permits
32 such spacing data blocks.
Definition:
- 'Grinding data blocks': Grinding data can be defined for a tool of type 400 to 499. A data block of this type occupies as
much additional memory as that provided for a cutting edge.
- 'Monitoring data blocks': Each cutting edge of a tool can be supplemented with monitoring data.

Explanation: General:
Read or write access has been programmed to an array variable with an illegal 1st array index. The valid array indices must
lie within the defined array size and the absolute limits (0 - 32,766).
PROFIBUS I/O:
An illegal slot / I/O area index was used while reading/writing data.
Cause:
1.: Slot / I/O area index >= max. number of available slot / I/O areas.
2.: Slot / I/O area index references a slot / I/O area that has not been configured.
3.: Slot / I/O area index references a slot / I/O area that has not been released for system variables.
The following applies specifically: If the alarm occurs while writing one of the parameters

Explanation: A tool identifier which the NCK does not recognize was programmed.
Alarm display.
Remedy: If the program pointer is at an NC block which contains the specified T identifier: If the program is incorrect, remedy the error
with a correction block and continue the program. If the data block is missing, create one. You can do this by downloading
a data block with all the defined D numbers onto the NCK (via HMI with overstore) and continue the program.
If the program pointer is at an NC block which does not contain the specified T identifier: The error occurred at an earlier
point in the program where the T command appeared, but the alarm was not output until the change command was
detected.
If the program is incorrect - T5 programmed instead of T55 - the current block can be corrected with a correction block; i.e.
if only M06 is entered, you can correct the block with T55 M06. The incorrect T5 line remains in the program until it is
terminated by a RESET or end of program.
In complex program structures with indirect programming, it may not be possible to correct the program. In this case, you
can only intervene locally with an overstore block - with T55 in the example. If the data block is missing, create one. You
can do this by downloading the data block of the tool with all the defined D numbers onto the NCK (via HMI with overstore),

defined as fixed points by the axis-specific machine data MD30600 $MA_FIX_POINT_POS[n].
Or, if position numbers 3 and/or 4 are to be used, then machine data MD30610 $MA_NUM_FIX_POINT_POS must be set
accordingly.

Explanation: A 'fixed-point approach in JOG' has been requested for an axis. This is not possible because:
Reason 1: The axis is involved in the active transformation.
Reason 2: The axis is a following axis in an active coupling.

Explanation: 'Fixed-point approach in JOG' is active for the axis, but another offset motion - for example a synchronization offset
$AA_OFF - has been interpolated simultaneously.
The position of the selected fixed-point is not reached if offset values are changed during the traversing motion.
The target point then becomes "fixed-point position + change in offset value".
The end point will be reached if the traversing motion is restarted after the offset value has been changed.
(For example: incremental traversing in which the traversing motion stops intermittently).
Reason:
Restarting the motion takes the current offset value into account.

Explanation: The displayed axis is to be traversed as machine axis in JOG mode with revolutional feed, but no master spindle has been
defined from which the actual speed could have been derived.
Alarm display.
If the revolutional feed is also to be active in JOG mode, a master spindle must be declared via the channel-specific
MD20090 $MC_SPIND_DEF_MASTER_SPIND. In this case you have to open a screen in the PARAMETER operating
area with the softkeys "SETTINGDATA" and "JOG DATA" and preselect the G function G95 there. The JOG feedrate can
then be entered in [mm/rev]. (If 0 mm/rev is set as JOG feed, the control takes the value assigned in the axis-specific MD
32050 $MA_JOG_REV_VELO or in the case of rapid traverse overlay MD32040 $MA_JOG_REV_VELO_RAPID).

Explanation: The axis (machine axis, geometry axis or orientation axis) is to be traversed in operation mode "Automatic&Jog" (see
MD10735 $MN_JOG_MODE_MASK) by using the direction keys or a handwheel. This is not possible, as (see parameter
3):
1. the axis is active as a rotating spindle
2. the axis is a PLC axis
3. the axis is active as an asynchronous reciprocating axis
4. the axis is active as a command axis
5. the axis is active as a slave axis
6. a frame applies for a rotated coordinate system and an axis involved in the required JOG movement of the geometry axis
is not available for this
7. an axis container rotation is activated via NCU link
Note: This alarm identifies an axis not capable of JOG which received a JOG order. In this case, the NCK will not proceed
according to "Internal JOG".

20060 [Channel %1: ] Axis %2 cannot be traversed as geometry axis

%2 = Axis name
Explanation: The axis is currently not in "Geometry axis" state. Therefore, it cannot be traversed in JOG mode as geometry axis.
If the word Work (WCS = workpiece coordinate system) is displayed in the "Position" screen, only the geometry axes can
be traversed by means of the direction keys! (MCS ... Machine coordinate system; all machine axes can now be traversed
by using the direction keys on the machine control panel).
Remedy: Check the operating steps to establish whether geometry axes really must be traversed, otherwise switch over to the
machine axes by activating the "Work/Machine" key on the machine control panel.
continuation:
20062 [Channel %1: ] Axis %2 already active

Explanation: The displayed axis is already traversing as a machine axis. Therefore, it cannot be operated as a geometry axis.
Traversing an axis can take place in JOG mode through 2 different interfaces.
1. As a geometry axis: via the channel-specific interface DB21-30 DBX12.6 / 12.7 (Traversing keys -/+)
2. As a machine axis: via the axis-specific interface DB31, ... DBX4.7 / 4.6 (Traversing keys plus/minus)
With the standard machine control panel, it is not possible to operate an axis as a machine axis and as a geometry axis
at the same time.
Remedy: Do not start the geometry axis until the traversing motion as machine axis has been concluded.

Alarm display.
Remedy: If the revolutional feedrate is to be active in JOG mode too, then a master spindle must be declared in the channel-specific

PARAMETER operating area with the softkeys "SETTINGDATA" and "JOG DATA", and preselect the G function G95
there. The JOG feedrate can then be entered in [mm/rev]. (If 0 mm/rev is set as JOG feedrate, the control takes the value
assigned in the axis-specific machine data MD32050 $MA_JOG_REV_VELO or in the case of rapid traverse override
MD32040 $MA_JOG_REV_VELO_RAPID).

2: The interface signal DB31, ... DBX21.7 (Pulse enable) is missing
3: Drive signal DB31, ... DBX93.7 (Impulses enabled) is not set
4: Drive signal DB31, ... DBX93.5 (Drive ready) is not set
5: Drive signal DB31, ... DBX92.4 (Autonomous drive) does not follow the NC setpoints
One of the motion-enabling signals (e.g. "Servo enable", "Pulse enable", parking/encoder selection (only for axes) or drive-
specific enables has been reset for the displayed axis. The alarm can be reported with positioning axes, spindles and for
axes from the geometry grouping.
The axes entered in the channel-specific MD array MD20050 $MC_AXCONF_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB are regarded as
axes belonging to the geometry grouping. Servo enable must exist for all available geometry axes, regardless of whether
or not they are currently in motion.
Occurs in connection with SAFETY function: If a test stop is performed with linked axes, the alarm is issued if a motion
command from the ELG grouping is pending during the test stop of the following axis.
Alarm display.
NC Stop on alarm.
Check the interface signals DB31, ... DBX2.1 (Servo enable), DB31, ... DBX21.7 (Pulse enable), check the drive signals

to the drive type used.
When the terminal enables of the drive have failed, trace back the wiring or hardware function (for example relay function)
or proceed as stated in the relevant drive documentation.

Explanation: The share of overlaid motion on the transformation-related axes is so high that the path movement planned by the

Explanation: The machine kinematics does not allow the specified motion.
Transformation-dependent error causes can be in:
TRANSMIT: A (circular) area exists around the pole, where positioning is not possible. The area is caused by the fact that
the tool reference point cannot be traversed as far as into the pole. The area is defined by:
- the machine data (MD249.. $MC_TRANSMIT_BASE_TOOL_...)
- the active tool length compensation (see $TC_DP..).
Whether the tool length compensation is included in the calculation depends on the working plane selected (see G17,..).
The machine stops at the edge of the area where positioning is not possible.

Explanation: The measurement block has ended (the programmed end position of the axis has been reached) but the activated touch
probe has not yet responded.
Measurement level 2 (MEAWA, MEASA, MEAC)
Measured values cannot be converted to the workpiece coordinate system. The measured values of the GEO axes
programmed in the measurement task are only available in the machine coordinate system.
Causes:
Not all GEO axes were programmed in the measurement task. At least one measured value is therefore missing for
conversion back into the workpiece coordinate system.
Further causes:
The measurement tasks programmed for all GEO axes are not identical.
When making measurements without handshake, two probes must be available in drive parameters p0680 index 0 and 1.
Remedy: Check the traversing movement in the measurement block.
- Is it necessary in all cases for the activated probe to have switched up to the specified axis position?
- Are the probe, cable, cable distributor, terminal connections in good order?
- Is the probe correctly wired and configured on the hardware side (e.g. drive parameters p0488 and p0489)?
Either program all GEO axes explicitly or program the traversing movement with the POS[axis] command.

This is because:
The velocity of the axis exceeds the permissible velocity range

This is because:
The cam signal width of t=50µs must not be undershot.
A configured cam width and reliable time results in
a limit velocity for the cam (v=s/t). If the limit velocity is exceeded,

%2 = Spindle number
Explanation: With the 'DryRun', 'ProgramTest' and 'SearchRunByProgTest' functions deselected, it is not possible in the REPOS
module to carry out a gear stage change to a previously programmed gear stage. This is the case, if the spindle is in the
deselection block not active in speed control mode, as a slave axis or in a transformation. Execution of a gear stage change
is avoided if the above mentioned functions are deselected by resetting bit 2 of MD35035

Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: If the spindles / axes differ strongly in their dynamic behavior during coupling, synchronism cannot be achieved. The
dynamics are dependent on many settings: default feedforward control, parameter block data, first of all the servo gain
factor, symmetrizing time, etc., feedforward control mode and feedforward setting parameter, FIPO mode, jerk filter and
dynamic filter settings, DSC on/off. Among these are the following machine data: MD32620 $MA_FFW_MODE, MD32610

- Reason 1: The following axis is not configured as a spindle.
- Reason 2: The coupling has more than one active leading axis.
- Reason 3: The leading axis is not configured as a spindle.
- Reason 4: The coupling factor (the quotient from CPLNUM and CPLDEN) is neither 1 nor -1.
- Reason 5: CPLSETVAL = "cmdvel".
- Reason 6: An independent motion component (NC/PLC interface signal DB31, ... DBX98.4(overlaid motion) = 1) of the

%2 = T number of tool
Explanation: The alarm can only occur when the tool management function is active in the NCK. (TOOLMAN = tool management) A data
backup of the tool/magazine data has been started. During the backup, the system detected that tools are still located in
the buffer magazine (= spindle, gripper, ...). During the backup, these tools will lose the information which defines the
magazine and location to which they are allocated.
It is therefore practical -assuming that the data are to be stored exactly as before - to ensure that all tools have been
deposited in the magazine before the data backup!!
If this is not the case, some magazine locations will have the 'reserved' status when the data are loaded again. This
'reserved' status must then be reset manually.
For tools with fixed location coding, the loss of the information allocating their location in the magazine has the same effect
as a general empty location search when they are returned to the magazine.

Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: The alarm can only occur when the tool management function is active in the NCK. Either the language command SETTA
has been programmed or the corresponding operator action has been carried out via HMI, PLC, .... The alarm can also be
triggered automatically by the NCK in the wear grouping function. It is detected that more than one tool from the tool group
(tools with the same name/identifier) has the status "active".
The specified tool is either
from a non-considered magazine,
from a non-considered wear grouping,
or from a non-active wear grouping
in a buffer location (is neither magazine nor wear grouping).
Alarm display.
Remedy: The alarm is intended for information purposes. If only one tool in a group can be active at a time for technological reasons
or for reasons of display, the "active" status must be canceled for the tool causing the error.
Otherwise, the alarm can be ignored or even suppressed via the MD11410 $MN_SUPPRESS_ALARM_MASK.
Typical reasons of display are present, if the operator works with the function 'definite D numbers', which can be displayed
on Siemens HMI in a definite form only, if exactly one tool from a tool group has the status 'active'.
Before machining can be started or before the SETTA (or corresponding HMI operation, ...) language command is used,
all tools of the magazine should have the status "not active".
One option to achieve this is programming SETTIA (or corresponding HMI operation, ...).

Explanation: If programming requires a dynamic response adjustment from one thread element to the next thread element, a check is
made to see if the path length is long enough to comply with the dynamic limit values. Only a part of the programmed path
length can be taken for this smoothing because the programmed target speed of the thread block for the required thread

25040 Axis %1 standstill monitoring

Explanation: The NC monitors to ensure that the position is held at zero speed. Monitoring is started after a time that can be set for a
specific axis in the MD36040 $MA_STANDSTILL_DELAY_TIME after interpolation has ended. A constant check is made
to determine whether the axis remains within the tolerance range given in MD36030 $MA_STANDSTILL_POS_TOL.
The following cases are possible:
1. The NC/PLC interface signal DB31, ... DBX2.1 (Servo enable) is zero because the axis has jammed mechanically. Due
to mechanical influences (e.g. high machining pressure), the axis is pushed outside the permissible position tolerance.
2. With closed position control loop (without jamming) - NC/PLC interface signal DB31, ... DBX2.1 (Servo enable) is "1" -
the axis is pushed away from its position by mechanical forces with a small gain in the position control loop.

25060 Axis %1 speed setpoint limitation

Explanation: The speed setpoint has exceeded its upper limit for a longer period than allowed.
The maximum speed setpoint is limited to a certain percentage by the axis-specific MD36210 $MA_CTRLOUT_LIMIT. The
input value of 100% corresponds to the rated speed of the motor and hence the rapid traverse velocity (exemplary default
value: 840D=110%).
For SINAMICS: Drive parameter p1082 also has a limiting effect.
If the values are exceeded for a short time, then this is tolerated provided they do not last longer than allowed for in the axis-
specific MD36220 $MA_CTRLOUT_LIMIT_TIME. The setpoint is limited during this time to the maximum value that has
been set in (MD36210 $MA_CTRLOUT_LIMIT).

25070 Axis %1 drift value too large

Explanation: Only with analog drives!
The permissible maximum value of drift (internal, integrated drift value of automatic drift compensation) was exceeded
during the last compensation operation. The permissible maximum value is defined in the axis-specific MD36710
$MA_DRIFT_LIMIT. The drift value itself is not limited.
Automatic drift compensation: MD36700 $MA_DRIFT_ENABLE=1
The difference between actual and setpoint position (drift) is checked cyclically in the IPO cycle when the axes are at zero
speed. The difference is automatically compensated to zero by slowly integrating an internal drift value.
Drift compensation by hand: MD36700 $MA_DRIFT_ENABLE=0
A static offset can be added to the speed setpoint in the MD36720 $MA_DRIFT_VALUE. This is not included in the drift
monitoring because it acts like a voltage work offset.
Remedy: Please inform the authorized personnel/service department. Adjust the drift compensation with the automatic drift
compensation switched off at the drive until the position lag is approximately zero. Then reactivate the automatic drift
compensation in order to balance out the dynamic drift changes (effects of heating up).

2. The actual value difference between the two encoders is greater than the value in the axis-specific MD36500
$MA_ENC_CHANGE_TOL ("Maximum tolerance for actual position value switchover").
Activation of the measuring system concerned takes place in accordance with the NC/PLC interface signals DB31, ...
DBX1.5 (Position measuring system 1) and DB31, ... DBX1.6 (Position measuring system 2), i.e. the position control is now
operated with this measuring system. The other measuring system is switched over to follow-up mode. If both interface
signals are set to "1", then only the 1st measuring system is active; if both interface signals are set to "0", the axis is parked.
Changeover takes place as soon as the interface signals have changed, even if the axis is in motion.

25201 Axis %1 drive fault

Explanation: For PROFIdrive:
The drive signals a serious fault which prevents the drive from being ready. The exact cause of the fault can be found by
evaluating the output drive alarms (It may be necessary to activate these diagnostic alarms by parameterizing the MDs
MD13070 $MN_DRIVE_FUNCTION_MASK, MD13140 $MN_PROFIBUS_ALARM_ACCESS etc):
Alarms 380500 and 380501 (or the corresponding alarm numbers implemented on the HMI side).

25202 Axis %1 waiting for drive

Explanation: Drive group error (self-clearing).
Alarm display.
Remedy: For PROFIdrive only:
Wait for the drive. This alarm reveals similar problems to alarm 25201 (see that alarm). It is continuously active during
power-up if the drive does not communicate (e.g. if the PROFIBUS connector has fallen out). Otherwise, the alarm is active
only briefly and is replaced by alarm 25201 after an internal timeout in the event of a permanent problem.

25220 Axis %1 gear ratio changed with ESR enabled

Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: Because a change in the gear ratio has an effect on the retraction path traveled by the drive, no changes may be made to
the gear ratio during the following periods of time:
- Between the last programming of the retraction path with ESRR and the ESR enable
- As from ESR enable
The following machine data define the gear ratios of an axis
MD31050 $MA_DRIVE_AX_RATIO_DENOM
MD31060 $MA_DRIVE_AX_RATIO_NUMERA
MD31064 $MA_DRIVE_AX_RATIO2_DENOM
MD31066 $MA_DRIVE_AX_RATIO2_NUMERA
The gear ratio must not be changed during the periods of time described above, e.g. by changing the parameter set.
Alarm display.
NC Stop on alarm.
Remedy: If ESR enable is missing:
- Change the gear ratio before programming the retraction path with ESRR
or
- Reprogram the retraction path with ESRR after changing the gear ratio
Then re-enable ESR.

26001 Axis %1 parameterization error: friction compensation

Explanation: The parameterization of the adaptation characteristic in the quadrant error compensation is not allowed because
acceleration value 2 (MD32560 $MA_FRICT_COMP_ACCEL2 is not between acceleration value 1 (MD32550
$MA_FRICT_COMP_ACCEL1) and acceleration value 3 (MD32570 $MA_FRICT_COMP_ACCEL3).

continuation:
26002 Axis %1 encoder %2 parameterization error: number of encoder pulses

%2 = Encoder number
Explanation: 1. Rotary measuring system (MD31000 $MA_ENC_IS_LINEAR[]==FALSE)
The number of encoder marks set in MD31020 $MA_ENC_RESOL[] does not correspond to the value in the drive machine
data (PROFIdrive: p979) or one of the two values is zero.
2. Absolute measuring system with EnDat interface (MD30240 $MA_ENC_TYPE[]==4)
On absolute encoders, the resolution of the incremental and absolute tracks supplied by the drive is also checked for
consistency.
For PROFIdrive drives:
Compare drive parameter p979 (and possibly other internal drive, manufacture-specific parameters stated in the relevant
drive documentation) or compare images in NC-MDs $MA_ENC_RESOL, $MA_ENC_PULSE_MULT,
$MA_ENC_ABS_TURNS_MODULO etc.
Conditions leading to triggering the alarm are:
* Number of encoder pulses in the drive!= $MA_ENC_RESOL
* PROFIdrive interface standardization/high resolution in p979 not permitted (permitted pushing factor 0...30 bits)
* With absolute encoders: Interface formats in p979 for absolute and incremental information does not fit together (i.e. the
absolute position in XIST2 is supplied in too coarse resolution for a complete position reconstruction)
* In the case of rotary absolute encoders behind the gears (and active traversing range extension in accordance with
$MA_ENC_ABS_BUFFERING): Absolute position format (in Gx_XIST2) is not complete/sufficient for position
reconstruction via PowerOff in accordance with the following condition: $MA_ENC_RESOL*$MA_ENC_PULSE_MULT*
$MA_ENC_ABS_TURNS_MODULO must not be smaller than 2**32. A remedy against alarm triggering in the latter case
may be to increase $MA_ENC_PULSE_MULT (or the associated drive-side parameterization e.g. p418/419 with
SINAMICS) or (when the necessary conditions prevail) by deactivating the traversing range extension - see
$MA_ENC_ABS_BUFFERING

26005 Axis %1 parameterization error: output rating

Explanation: For analog drives:
The output evaluation of the analog speed setpoint set in the MD32250 $MA_RATED_OUTVAL or in MD 32260
$MA_RATED_VELO is zero.
The effective output evaluation of the speed setpoint interface is zero:
a. MD32260 $MA_RATED_VELO is zero although a standardizing reference value needs to be defined on account of the
setting MD32250 $MA_RATED_OUTVAL>0
b. The corresponding drive-side standardizing parameter is zero, invalid or unreadable/unavailable although an automatic
interface scaling adjustment has been selected on account of MD32250 $MA_RATED_OUTVAL=0.
The drive parameter defining the standard is not determined by PROFIdrive, but is specific to the manufacturer (see the
relevant drive documentation: For SINAMICS: p2000).

26008 Axis %1 QEC: invalid fine increment

Explanation: The fine increment for quadrant error compensation $AA_QEC_FINE_STEPS must be in the range 1 <= fine increment <=

Remedy: Modify the system variable $AA_QEC_FINE_STEPS accordingly.
continuation:
26009 Axis %1 QEC: memory overflow

Explanation: The product of the data $AA_QEC_COARSE_STEPS+1 and $AA_QEC_FINE_STEPS must not exceed the maximum
number of the characteristic curve points (MD38010 $MA_MM_QEC_MAX_POINTS). With a direction-dependent
characteristic, this criterion applies to 2 * ($AA_QEC_COARSE_STEPS+1) * $AA_QEC_FINE_STEPS!
Remedy: Please inform the authorized personnel/service department. Either increase MD38010 $MA_MM_QEC_MAX_POINTS or
reduce $AA_QEC_COARSE_STEPS and/or $AA_QEC_FINE_STEPS.
continuation:
26010 Axis %1 QEC: invalid acceleration characteristic

Explanation: $AA_QEC_ACCEL_1/2/3: The acceleration characteristic is divided into three areas. In each area there is a different
quantization of the acceleration steps. The defaults should be changed only if compensation is inadequate in these
acceleration areas.
The defaults are as follows:
- $AA_QEC_ACCEL_1 with approx. 2% of maximum acceleration ($AA_QEC_ACCEL_3),
- $AA_QEC_ACCEL_2 with approx. 60% of maximum acceleration ($AA_QEC_ACCEL_3),
- $AA_QEC_ACCEL_3 with maximum acceleration (MD32300 $MA_MAX_AX_ACCEL).
Remedy: Please inform the authorized personnel/service department. Enter the values correctly:
0 < $AA_QEC_ACCEL_1 < $AA_QEC_ACCEL_2 < $AA_QEC_ACCEL_3.
continuation:
26011 Axis %1 QEC: invalid measuring periods

Explanation: $AA_QEC_MEAS_TIME_1/2/3: measuring time to determine the error criterion.
The measuring period begins when the criterion for activating the compensation value has been satisfied (the desired
velocity changes the sign). The end is defined by the machine data values. In general, different measuring times are
required for the three characteristic ranges. The presettings should be changed only if a problem occurs. The three data
apply in each case for the three corresponding acceleration ranges.
1. $AA_QEC_MEAS_TIME_1 specifies the measuring time (for determining the error criterion) for accelerations in the
range between 0 and $AA_QEC_ACCEL_1.
2. $AA_QEC_MEAS_TIME_2 specifies the measuring time in the range from $AA_QEC_ACCEL_1 to
$AA_QEC_ACCEL_2.
3. $AA_QEC_MEAS_TIME_3 specifies the measuring time in the range from $AA_QEC_ACCEL_2 to
$AA_QEC_ACCEL_3 and beyond.
Remedy: Please inform the authorized personnel/service department. Enter the values correctly: 0 < $AA_QEC_MEAS_TIME_1 <

The alarm can be disabled by MD13070 $MN_DRIVE_FUNCTION_MASK - bit15.
However, the following must be noted:
- The device-specific assignment of the bits in the control and status words may be different.
- The drive data sets can be created at will, and need not be subdivided into groups of 8. (For details see also SINAMICS
Commissioning Manual). So the parameters of motors 2-4 may be incorrectly assigned.

26051 [Channel %1: ] In block %2 unanticipated stop crossed in continuous path mode
Explanation: The path interpolation did not stop, as required, at the end of the block, but only decelerates to a standstill in the next block.
This error situation occurs if the stop at the end of the block was not planned by the path interpolation or was not detected
early enough. One possible cause is that the PLC changed the spindle speed when MD35500
$MA_SPIND_ON_SPEED_AT_IPO_START > 0, and the machine has to wait until the spindle has returned to the setpoint
range. Another possible cause is that a synchronized action needs to be finished before path interpolation continues. The
alarm is only output if MD11400 $MN_TRACE_SELECT = 'H400'. The alarm output is normally suppressed. - MD11400
$MN_TRACE_SELECT has SIEMENS password protection.
Remedy: MD35500 $MA_SPIND_ON_SPEED_AT_IPO_START = 1. Program G09 before the alarm output in the block to allow the
path interpolation to stop as planned.

26052 [Channel %1: ] In block %2: path velocity too high for auxiliary function output (%3)
%3 = Fine coding
Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: This alarm usually occurs in a block with auxiliary function output during a movement. In this case, the wait for
acknowledgment of the auxiliary function was longer than planned.
The alarm also occurs if internal control inconsistencies cause continuous path mode (G64, G641, ...) to be blocked
unexpectedly.
The path interpolation stops abruptly at the end of the block indicated in the message (regenerative stop). Alarm 21620 is
often triggered as a follow-up alarm. If not, the path continues after the block change.
Remedy: - The time calculated for the auxiliary function output during the movement comes from the PLC in most systems.
Otherwise, MD10110 $MN_PLC_CYCLE_TIME_AVERAGE is used for this purpose.
- The alarm can basically be avoided by programming in the block G09 indicated in the message. This stops the path
interpolation briefly at the end of the block.

27000 Axis %1 is not safely referenced

Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: There are two reasons for this alarm:

- the machine position has not yet been acknowledged by the user,
- the machine position has not yet been verified through follow-up referencing.
Even if the axis is already referenced, there is no confirmation that referencing has supplied the correct result. For example,
wrong results can occur if the axis was moved after the control was switched off, with the result that the standstill position
saved prior to switching off is no longer correct. To make sure that this does not happen, the user must acknowledge the
displayed actual position after the first referencing process.
When the user enable has first been set, follow-up referencing must be carried out each time the control is booted (with
absolute encoders, this follow-up referencing is executed automatically). This procedure is carried out to verify the
standstill position saved prior to switching off of the control.
Via the MD10094 $MN_SAFE_ALARM_SUPPRESS_LEVEL (MD>=3), the alarm display can be set in such a way that the
group alarm 27100 is displayed for all SI axes.
SGA "Axis safely referenced" is not set. SE will be switched off, if the actual safety position has not yet been confirmed by
a user agreement. If the user agreement has been set, SE will remain active. The safe cams are calculated and output.
However, their significance is limited as referencing has not been confirmed.
Remedy: Traverse the axis to a known position, change to operating mode "Referencing" and press softkey "Agreement". Check the
positions displayed in the agreement screen on the machine. If they match the expected or known position, confirm this
by using the toggle key. If the user agreement has already been set, reference the axis again.
The user agreement can be changed only via keyswitch position 3 or after password entry.
WARNING:
If the axis is not referenced safely and the user agreement is not available, the following will apply:
- the safe cams are not yet safe
- the safe end positions are not yet active.

27001 Axis %1 error in a monitoring channel, code %2, values: NCK %3, drive %4
%2 = Additional info cross-comparison index
%3 = NCK comparison value extension
%4 = Additional info comparison value drive
Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: A mutual comparison of the state of the safety-related monitoring functions is made cyclically between the two monitoring
channels (NCK and drive). The comparison is performed separately for each NCK/drive combination.
In each monitoring cycle (MD10091 $MN_INFO_SAFETY_CYCLE_TIME), one criterion from a comparison list is
compared between NCK and drive. In the next monitoring cycle, the next criterion is compared, etc. Once the complete
comparison list has been processed, processing of the comparisons starts again. The resulting total comparison time for
processing the list is displayed in MD10092 $MN_INFO_CROSSCHECK_CYCLE_TIME (factor x MD10091
$MN_INFO_SAFETY_CYCLE_TIME - the factor may differ in the various software versions).
The alarm "Fault in a monitoring channel" is output if the mutual comparison of the two monitoring channels finds a
difference between input data or monitoring results. One of the monitors is no longer functioning reliably.
The cross-check index output in the alarm text is also named the STOP F code. The STOP F code where the NCK found
the first cross-check error is also output in alarm 27001.
The STOP F code of the drive (belonging to alarm C01711) can be found on the diagnostic display or in parameter r9795.
If there is a difference over multiple comparison steps, a number of STOP F code values can be displayed at these points
one after the other).
There are fault profiles that can be detected by several comparisons in the comparison list, i.e. the displayed STOP F code
value does not always provide clear information about the error cause. The relevant procedure is explained with the
individual error codes:
- 0 No error found in this channel; following alarm to drive alarm C01711.

Remedy: Find the difference between the monitoring channels. Error code shows the cause of the alarm.
It may be the case that safety-relevant machine data is no longer consistent (reload if so) or
that the safety-relevant inputs do not have the same level (check).
If an error of this nature cannot be found, an error may have occurred in the CPU (a memory cell may have "tipped over",
for example). This error may be temporary (remove with power-on) or permanent (replace hardware if the error is displayed
again after power-on).

27004 Axis %1 difference safe input %2, NCK %3, drive %4

%2 = Monitoring input
%3 = Interface identifier NCK input
%4 = Interface identifier drive input
Explanation: A difference has been found at the specified safe input. The state of the specified input signal differed in the two monitoring
channels NCK and drive for the duration set in MD36950 $MA_SAFE_MODE_SWITCH_TIME.
Monitoring affected:
SS/SV = Difference in SGE "Deselection of safe operating stop/Safe velocity"
SS = Difference in SGE "Safe operating stop"
SV = Difference in SGEs "Selection safe velocity"
SP = Difference in SGE "Selection safe limit positions"
SVOVR = Difference in SGEs "Selection SG correction"
Interface identifier NCK input (SPL interface):
<io> = Parameterised SPL interface ($A_OUTSI, $A_INSE)
<bit> = Bit number in SPL interface (1...192)
<value> = Value of NCK SGE (0,1)
Interface identifier drive input:
DBX<byte><bit>=<value >
<byte> = Byte number in axis-specific DB (22, 23, 32, 33)
<bit> = Bit number in byte (0...7)
<value> = Value of drive SGE (0,1)
This alarm can be masked by setting MD10096 $MN_SAFE_DIAGNOSIS_MASK, bit 0 = 0.
Remedy: Check settings for safe input signals (SPL parameterization, PLC DB parameters).
continuation:
27005 Axis %1 error in data cross check: static actual value difference
Explanation: Via the data cross check between NCK and drive monitoring channel, a difference in actual values was detected, which
is greater than the maximum tolerance defined in MD36942 $MA_SAFE_POS_TOL. This can be checked by means of the
safe position values for the two monitoring channels displayed in the service menu.
The alarm is displayed only, if monitoring with absolute reference (SE/SN) has been enabled for the specified axis and if
the user enable has been set. The alarm is cleared, as soon as the user enable is deleted or the actual value difference
between the two monitoring channels falls again below the maximum permissible difference.
Remedy: If the alarm is present statically, the user enable must be deleted. When the control is then rebooted, the machine can be
brought to the safe state again and operation resumed by a new referencing process and setting of the user enable. Prior
to setting the user enable, the actual position of the axis displayed in the "User enable" screen must be compared with the
current machine position. This is obligatory to ensure the proper functioning of the safe limit positions (SE) and safe cams
(SN).
A change of the user acknowledgment is only possible with key switch position 3 or after input of a password.

27007 Axis %1 acceptance test mode is active

Explanation: Via the operator panel, an SI acceptance test has been started for example with the acceptance test wizard. The
acceptance test mode is activated via the NCK and drive for the time of this acceptance test. In the acceptance test mode,
SI PowerOn alarms can be acknowledged with the Reset key.
Remedy: Deselect the acceptance test, for example with the acceptance test wizard or wait until completed (acceptance test time
can be parameterized via MD36958 $MA_SAFE_ACCEPTANCE_TST_TIMEOUT).

Remedy: If no obvious operator error occurred: Check the input value of the machine data and check the SGEs: Has the correct one
of 2 limit positions been selected?
The alarm will persist as long as the axis is beyond the limit position. To be able to move it again, either
- push the axis manually,
- switch to another limit position pair so that the axis is in the permitted range again,
- cancel the user enable and trigger a PO reset. The alarm "Axis is not safely referenced" appears and the limit switch
monitoring functions are deactivated. Move the machine back so that it is in the permitted range again. Then give the user
enable again.
continuation: Remove the user agreement for this axis. Then press the RESET key causing the program to be canceled and the alarm
to be deleted. Traverse the axis in JOG mode to the valid traversing range. After fault correction of the NC program and
an axis position check, the user agreement can be set again and the program can be restarted.

Explanation: The relevant MDs for parameterization of the axis-specific safety functionality are protected by a checksum. The alarm
indicates that the current checksum no longer corresponds to the stored checksum, this means that an MD has either been
changed without authorization or is faulty.
In the setup phase (SPL setup mode active), instead of the axis-specific checksum single alarms (27032, 27035, and

Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: The parameterization of the specified machine data is incorrect. An additional indication is the array index of the machine
data. If the machine data is a single machine data item, a zero is specified as the array index. This alarm occurs in
accordance with the displayed error code in the following connections:
1: Conversion of the specified MD to the internal calculation format causes an overflow.
2: Error in parameterization of the input/output assignments for the SGEs/SGAs.
3: One of the activated cam positions lies outside the actual value modulo range.
4: The function "actual value synchronization 2-encoder system" (slip) has been selected for a 1-encoder system.
5: The function "actual value synchronization 2-encoder system" (slip) has been selected at the same time as a function
with an absolute reference (SE/SN).
6: A safety function has been enabled in MD36901 $MA_SAFE_FUNCTION_ENABLE although the safety functions SBH/
SG have not been enabled.
7: An axis-specific SGE/SGA has been parameterized on the SPL interface (segment number = 4) and the function enable
for the external stops (MD36901 $MA_SAFE_FUNCTION_ENABLE, bit 6) is missing.
8: The cam synchronization has been activated via bit 7 in MD36901 $MA_SAFE_FUNCTION_ENABLE without enabling
the cams via bits 8...15.
12: A zero has been entered in MD36917 $MA_SAFE_ENC_GRID_POINT_DIST.
13: A zero has been entered in MD36918 $MA_SAFE_ENC_RESOL.
14: The parameterized cam modulo range MD36905 $MA_SAFE_MODULO_RANGE is not an integer multiple of 360
degrees.
15: An axis-specific SGE/SGA has been parameterized on the SPL interface (segment number = 4) and SGE "Deselection
ext. stop A" (assigned via MD36977 $MA_SAFE_EXT_STOP_INPUT[0]) has been parameterized inverted (bit 31 = 1) or
SGE "Deselection ext. stop A" has not been parameterized on the SPL interface $A_OUTSI.
16: MD10097 $MN_SAFE_SPL_STOP_MODE has been parameterized on value 4 (stop E) although the external stop E
has not been enabled on all axes with SI function enables (MD36901 $MA_SAFE_FUNCTION_ENABLE not equal to 0).
17: In MD36907 $MA_SAFE_DRIVE_PS_ADDRESS, an invalid value has been parameterized or the same address has
been assigned to multiple axes.
18: The internal preassignment of MD36919 $MA_SAFE_ENC_PULSE_SHIFT from the drive parameterization was not
possible because values would have to be set outside the permissible range. Adjust the encoder parameterization in the
drive.
19: MD36932 $MA_SAFE_VELO_OVR_FACTOR has been parameterized with decimal places.
20: The value entered in MD36934 $MA_SAFE_POS_LIMIT_PLUS and MD36935 $MA_SAFE_POS_LIMIT_MINUS have
been swapped. The upper limit is less than or equal to the lower limit.
21: In MD30300 $MA_IS_ROT_AX and MD36902 $MA_SAFE_IS_ROT_AX, various settings have been made.
22: The parameterized cam modulo range MD36905 $MA_SAFE_MODULO_RANGE and the modulo range in MD30330
$MA_MODULO_RANGE are not divisible by one another with an integer result.
-23: Testing of the brake mechanism was enabled without enabling safe operation for this axis in MD36901
$MA_SAFE_FUNCTION_ENABLE or enabling the link to the drive-autonomous safety functions in MD37950

parameterized with an impermissible value.
25: Alarms 27000/F01797 are to be suppressed during parking (MD36965 $MA_SAFE_PARK_ALARM_SUPPRESS!=0).
For this, SGA "Axis safely referenced" must be parameterized in MD36987 $MA_SAFE_REFP_STATUS_OUTPUT.
26: The logical base address configured in Step 7 and addressed in MD36906 $MA_SAFE_CTRLOUT_MODULE_NR,
MD10393 $MN_SAFE_DRIVE_LOGIC_ADDRESS do not match, or the slot addressed in this way has the wrong length.
27: Cam position MD36936 $MA_SAFE_CAM_POS_PLUS[n] or MD36937 $MA_SAFE_CAM_POS_MINUS[n] is
parameterized too near to the modulo limit.

Remedy: Continue with setup, correct checksum.

- If MD36969 $MA_SAFE_BRAKETEST_TORQUE_NORM is displayed:
The change to p2003 must be taken into account in the parameterization of MD36969
$MA_SAFE_BRAKETEST_TORQUE. The holding torque to be parameterized for the brake test must be reset.
MD36969 $MA_SAFE_BRAKETEST_TORQUE = desired test torque of the brake / p2003 * 100.
Then an acceptance test of the functioning of the brake test must be made.

27040 Axis %1 waiting for motor module.

Explanation: Alarm on ramp-up as long as the motor module is not yet ready for SI.
Communication to the motor module is not yet active on ramp-up, the safety functions are not yet available.
The alarm indication can be set in MD10094 $MN_SAFE_ALARM_SUPPRESS_LEVEL so that only one alarm is displayed

Alarm display.
Remedy: The alarm will remain present during ramp-up if the drive does not communicate. Otherwise the alarm will only be displayed
briefly and then deleted automatically.
Possible causes for the continual presence of this alarm:
- The safe motion monitoring is only activated in MD36901 $MA_SAFE_FUNCTION_ENABLE, but not in the
corresponding parameter of the assigned drive (p9501).
- The axis -> drive assignment in MD36906 $MA_SAFE_CTRLOUT_MODULE_NR, MD10393
$MN_SAFE_DRIVE_LOGIC_ADDRESS or p0978 is incorrect.

%3 = NCK comparison value extension
%4 = Cross-check array index extension
Alarms
NC alarms
Explanation: Differences in the compared data have been found in a cyclic data cross-check between NCK and PLC. Parameter %1
indicates the incorrect system variable ($A_INSI, $A_OUTSI, $A_INSE, $A_OUTSE, or $A_MARKERSI) with array index
%2.
Special cases:
- Display "Error in NCK-PLC data cross-check, $MN_PREVENT_SYNACT_LOCK[0], ..." means that the SPL setup status
has been set differently in the NCK and PLC.
- Display "Error in NCK-PLC data cross-check, $MN_SAFE_SPL_STOP_MODE[0], ..." means that the SPL stop reaction
(Stop D or E) has been set differently in the NCK and PLC.
- Display "Error in NCK-PLC data cross-check, $MN_SAFE_SPL_USER_DATA[n], ..." means that different user data have
been set in NCK and PLC.
- Display "Error in NCK-PLC data cross-check, TIMEOUT[0], NCK: 0" means that the communication between NCK and
PLC is generally disturbed and that a data cross-check can no longer be performed.
- Display "Error in NCK-PLC data cross-check, $A_FSDP_ERR_REAC[n], $A_FRDP_SUBS[n],
$A_FRDP_ERR_REAC[n]..." means that different system variables have been specified in NCK and PLC.
With alarm parameter %4, a specific alarm message can be configured on the HMI for all listed system variables:
- 0: Error SPL commissioning status ($MN_PREVENT_SYNACT_LOCK[0,1] - DB18 DBX36.0)
- 0: Error SPL stop reaction ($MN_SAFE_SPL_STOP_MODE - DB18 DBX36.1).

In order to parameterize alarm 27090, file ALSI_xx.com must be incorporated in the data management and declared in the
HMI with an entry in MBDDE.INI in section[IndexTextFiles] ALSI=f:\dh\mb.dir\alsi_. The machine manufacturer can
redefine this file to incorporate additional texts in the alarm that are useful for its system. If the file is redefined, the newly
created file must be declared in the system with an entry in MBDDE.INI.
The display of alarm 27090 can be modified via MD10094 $MN_SAFE_ALARM_SUPPRESS_LEVEL: MD10094
$MN_SAFE_ALARM_SUPPRESS_LEVEL = 2 : Alarm 27090 will now only be displayed for the first data difference found.
Trigger a STOP D/E (settable via MD10097 $MN_SAFE_SPL_STOP_MODE) on all axes with safety functionality, as soon
as the SPL setup phase (MD11500 $MN_PREVENT_SYNACT_LOCK[0,1] unequal to 0) is completed.
Remedy: Analyze the value displayed and evaluate DB18: SPL_DELTA on the PLC side.
Find the difference between the monitoring channels. Possible causes:
- Incorrect wiring
- Incorrect SPL
- Incorrect assignment of the axis-specific SGEs to internal interface $A_OUTSI
- Incorrect assignment of the axis-specific SGAs to internal interface $A_INSI
- Incorrect assignment of the SPL SGEs to external interface $A_INSE
- Incorrect assignment of the SPL SGAs to external interface $A_OUTSE

27091 Error in data cross check NCK-PLC, stop of %1

Parameters: %1 = Extension indicating the monitoring channel that triggered the stop
Explanation: The monitoring channel specified in the alarm text (NCK or PLC) has triggered a stop D or E (depending on the
parameterization in MD10097 $MN_SAFE_SPL_STOP_MODE). The alarm 27090 provides further information about the
cause of the stop D/E.

27092 Communication broken off during NCK PLC data cross check, error detected by %1
Parameters: %1 = Extension indicating the monitoring channel that detected the error
Explanation: The delay time (1s) for communication monitoring was exceeded in the monitoring channel specified in the alarm text (NCK
or PLC). The other monitoring channel did not send a new data packet within this time.
A timer of 5 secs is started, after the expiry of which
- the external NCK SPL outputs are deleted

27093 Checksum error NCK-SPL, %1, %2, %3

Parameters: %1 = Extension indicating the type of error
%2 = Extension indicating the reference variable
%3 = Extension indicating the actual variable
Explanation: A checksum error has occurred in the NCK SPL. The file /_N_CST_DIR/_N_SAFE_SPF has subsequently been modified.
The safe programmable logic (SPL) in the NCK may have been corrupted.
Parameter %1 provides more information about the nature of the modification:
- FILE_LENGTH: The file length has changed.
- FILE_CONTENT: The file content has changed.
- FILE_PROTECTED: Exiting the SPL setup phase has restricted access rights to the file, and these have been violated.
The following information is also displayed in the the alarm text:
- the value calculated as reference (file length, checksum of file content) (%2)
- the actual cyclically calculated value (%3).
Remedy: Check the file and the time of the last modification to the file. Reload the original file and start the monitoring system again
with a PowerOn.
continuation:
27095 %1 SPL protection not activated

Parameters: %1 = Name of the component on which the protection is not activated (NCK or PLC)
Explanation: The protection features are not activated for the SPL. The setup phase of the SPL is not yet complete. No stop reaction
(Stop D or E) was initiated on an error in data cross-comparison between NCK and PLC.
Remedy: - Remedy for NCK: Activate the protection features with MD11500 $MN_PREVENT_SYNACT_LOCK[0,1]. The number
range of the synchronized action IDs used in the SPL must be entered in this MD.
- Remedy for PLC: Activate the protection features by setting the appropriate data bit in DB18.

27096 SPL start not allowed

Explanation: To start the SPL in the protected state (MD11500 $MN_PREVENT_SYNACT_LOCK[0,1] not equal 0), the Safety
Integrated functionality must first be activated for at least one axis (via MD36901 $MA_SAFE_FUNCTION_ENABLE) and
operated with an active drive. Moreover, at least one SGE/SGA of this axis must have been parameterized for an SPL
interface. If these conditions are not met, it is only possible to operate SPL in the setup state.

27097 SPL start not executed

Explanation: SPL start not executed after the time set in MD13310 $MN_SAFE_SPL_START_TIMEOUT elapsed.
This alarm can be masked with MD10096 $MN_SAFE_DIAGNOSIS_MASK, bit 1 = 1.
Remedy: Find the cause of the failure of the SPL to start. Possible causes may be:
- There is an NC or drive error (e.g. after encoder replacement, EMERGENCY STOP, PROFIsafe alarms)
- There is a syntax error in the SPL
- Safety Integrated alarm present (e.g. "Safe limit position overrun")
- Name or path of SPL for PROG_EVENT Start written incorrectly; make sure upper and lower cases are used correctly
- Simultaneous start of an ASUB and PROG_EVENT, parameterization MD 11602 $MN_ASUP_START_MASK (stop
causes e.g. read-in disable)
- Problems when calling FB4/FC9

continuation:
27100 At least one axis is not safely referenced

Explanation: There are two reasons for this alarm:
- the machine position of at least one of the axes monitored with SI has not yet been acknowledged by the user, or
- the machine position of at least one of the axes monitored with SI has not yet been verified through follow-up referencing.
Even if the axis is already referenced, there is no confirmation that referencing has supplied the correct result. For example,
wrong results can occur if the axis was moved after the control was switched off, with the result that the standstill position
saved prior to switching off is no longer correct. To make sure that this does not happen, the user must acknowledge the
displayed actual position after the first referencing process.
When the user enable has first been set, follow-up referencing must be carried out each time the control is booted (with
absolute encoders, this follow-up referencing is executed automatically). This procedure is carried out to verify the
standstill position saved prior to switching off of the control.
Via the MD10094 $MN_SAFE_ALARM_SUPPRESS_LEVEL (MD>=3), the alarm display can be set in such a way that an
alarm is given for each axis individually which has not been safely referenced.
SGA "Axis safely referenced" is not set. SE will be switched off, if the actual safety position has not yet been confirmed by
a user agreement. If the user agreement has been set, SE will remain active. The safe cams are calculated and output.
However, their significance is limited as referencing has not been confirmed.
Remedy: Move all SI axes to known positions and change to "Referencing" mode. Check the positions on the machine displayed in
the user confirmation field and set "User confirmation" via the selection/toggle key. If the user confirmation for the axes has
already been set, reference the axes again.
Changing the user confirmation will be possible only in key switch position 3 or after password entry

27140 Waiting for motor module of at least one axis.

Explanation: Alarm during startup as long as the motor module of at least one axis is not yet ready for SI.
Communication with the motor module during startup has not yet been activated; the safety functions of at least one axis
are not yet available.
In MD10094 $MN_SAFE_ALARM_SUPPRESS_LEVEL (MD<3), the alarm display can be set to display for each axis
individually whether communication has been activated.
The alarm persistently occurs during startup if at least one drive is not communicating. Otherwise, the alarm only briefly
appears and is cleared automatically.
Possible causes of the persistent occurrence of the alarm:
- The safe motion monitoring functions are only activated in MD36901 $MA_SAFE_FUNCTION_ENABLE, but not in the
corresponding parameter of the associated drive (p9501).
- The assignment axis -> drive in MD36906 $MA_SAFE_CTRLOUT_MODULE_NR, MD10393
$MN_SAFE_DRIVE_LOGIC_ADDRESS or p0978 is incorrect.
- PROFIBUS connector fallen out.

27830 Axis %1 Control not ready for the drive-integrated safe brake test
Explanation: The motion control rejects the request for the drive-integrated "safe brake test" via the VDI interface.
Possible causes:
- When the brake test was selected via the VDI, the interpolator or the axis had not stopped, therefore the axis in motion
or exact stop was not (no longer) given.
- A new brake test was requested, but the previous brake test had not yet finished in the control.
- Another axis was in motion in the channel.

Remedy: Measurement of workpiece:

Check tool type of measuring probe in the tool management.
When measuring workpiece milling, it is preferred to use tool types 710, 712, 713 or 714. But a type 1xy can also be used.
Type 710 is permitted for workpiece measurement in all measuring cycles. Types 712, 713 and 714 are intended for
special measuring tasks.
When measuring workpiece turning, it is preferred to use tool type 580. However, a type 1xy can also be used, but only
if setting data $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_TYPE=2 is set.

61402 [Channel %1: ] Block %2: Probe collision, path reduced by software end position %4
Explanation: This alarm is only output with external measurements (web, spigot, ball) in conjunction with a possible collision in the infeed
axis.
The collision is caused by the reduction of the path in the measuring axis of the working plane, before lowering the infeed
axis to the measuring height.
The probe was switched during the following infeed in the infeed axis.
If the path had not been reduced, the traversing movement would have extended beyond the software end position of the
working plane, and the corresponding NCK alarm 10722 would have been triggered.
Alarm display.
- Place the workpiece further away from the software limit position.

62314 [Channel %1: ] Block %2: Path limitation via software end position %4, collision detection
activated, continue with NC START / cancel with RESET
Explanation: This alarm is only output with external measurements (web, spigot, ball) as a query about the program continuation before
the lowering movement in the infeed axis
The alarm scan is caused by the reduction of the path of the measuring axis in the working plane that has just been made.
If the path had not been reduced, the traversing movement would have extended beyond the software end position of the
working plane. A corresponding NCK alarm 10722 would have been triggered.
With program stop, the user can check whether the infeed axis can be lowered to measuring height without causing a
collision.
Alarm 61402 is output if there is a switch (collision) of the probe in the subsequent movement of the infeed axis.
- Place the workpiece further away from the software limit position.

Explanation: If the error comes from CYCLE996 or CYCLE9960:

The tolerance of the linear vectors is exceeded during the measurement of the kinematics.
The value of the tolerance is transferred in parameter TLIN.
If TLIN=0 or tolerance (check) = no, the measured vectors are not monitored.
Remedy: A 2nd measurement with a larger tolerance can be made for the analysis. The kinematic data should not be overwritten.

%2 = Block number
Explanation: The 3D clearance control has been switched off with CLC(0) while tool radius compensation is still active (G41/G42). Since
CLC(0) empties the internal block buffer and accepts the current traversed position offset of the clearance control as a
"contour jump" in the interpreter, TRC must be deactivated when this command is issued.
Alarm display.
Remedy: Modify part program: Switch off active G41/G42 before CLC(0) or do not switch of clearance control, but just "freeze"
temporarily (CLC_GAIN=0.0) or cancel the position offset mechanically with CLC(-1).
continuation:
75016 [Channel %1: ] CLC: block %2 orientation changed for TRAFOOF

%2 = Block number
Explanation: 1. The 2D/3D clearance control has been switched off before the transformation. The tool direction according to G17/G18/
G19 has been applied as the control direction. Switching on the transformation with rotary axis settings that define a
different tool orientation requires an orientation step change and is therefore rejected.
2. The transformation has been switched off temporarily (TRAFOOF) while clearance control is still active. When the
transformation is switched on again, the tool orientation must be the same as when it was switched off, i.e. the rotary axes
must not be moved while the transformation is deactivated.
Alarm display.
NC Stop on alarm.
Remedy: Modify part program: Do not switch on the clearance control until the transformation is already active or make sure that the
required conditions relating to orientation are observed.

Position switching signals (N3)" ) is configured with machine data MD 10480 $MN_SW_CAM_TIMER_FASTOUT_MASK
> 0 at the same time as the function HSLC. As there is only one hardware timer on the NCU, only one of the two functions

75501 [Channel %1: ] HSLC: CC_FASTON_CONT velocity too high

Alarms
Cycle alarms
Explanation: The path-related switching signal output switched on by the part rogramm command
CC_FASTON_CONT( PATH_DISTANCE_ON, PATH_DISTANCE_OFF )
cannot output all switching signals correctly at the current velocity.
Reason:
A maximum of one switching edge can be output per IPO cycle (see $MN_IPO_CYCLE_TIME ). The current path velocity
is so high that there is more than one switching edge to be output within one path distance PATH_DISTANCE_ON or
PATH_DISTANCE_OFF.
Example:
IPO cycle = 2ms ( position-control cycle = 1ms )
PATH_DISTANCE_ON = 0.667
PATH_DISTANCE_OFF = 0.667
Maximum path velocity in which no switching edges are lost: 20000 mm/min
When alarm 75501 occurs, the function skips the output of two successive switching edges. This does not affect the
position of subsequent switching edges.
Note: Whether the ommission of a signal from the previous switching signal leaves a high or low level present, is purely
coincidental.
Remedy: - Lengthen the operating travels programmed in the command CC_FASTON_CONT
- Program the path velocity or reduce it with the override switch
- Set a shorter IPO cycle (machine manufacturer only)

Reaction: NONE
Cause: Module booting was interrupted several times. As a consequence, the module boots with the factory setting.
Possible reasons for booting being interrupted:
- power supply interrupted.
- CPU crashed.
- parameterization invalid.
Remedy: - carry out a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on). After switching on, the module reboots from the valid parameterization (if
available).
- restore the valid parameterization.
Examples:
a) Carry out a first commissioning, save, carry out a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on).
b) Load another valid parameter backup (e.g. from the memory card), save, carry out a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on).
Note:
If the fault situation is repeated, then this fault is again output after several interrupted boots.

201070 <location>Project/firmware is being downloaded to the memory card

Message value: %1
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: An upgrade (project/firmware download) was initiated on the memory card.
While this fault is present, the corresponding update takes place with plausibility and consistency checks. After this,
depending on the command option, a new boot (reset) for the Control Unit is initiated.
Caution:
During the upgrade and while this fault is present, it is not permissible to switch off the Control Unit.
If the operation is interrupted, this can destroy the file system on the memory card. The memory card will then no longer
work properly and must be repaired.
Remedy: Not necessary.
The fault is automatically withdrawn after the upgrade has been completed.

Cause: At least one component is not assigned to a drive object.
- when commissioning, a component was not able to be automatically assigned to a drive object.
- the parameters for the data sets are not correctly set.
Component number of the unassigned component.
Remedy: This component is assigned to a drive object.

201340 <location>Topology: Too many components on one line

Message value: Component number or connection number: %1, fault cause: %2
Reaction: NONE
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Cause: For the selected communications clock cycle, too many DRIVE-CLiQ components are connected to one line of the Control
Unit.
xyy hex: x = fault cause, yy = component number or connection number.
1yy:
The communications clock cycle of the DRIVE-CLiQ connection on the Control Unit is not sufficient for all read transfers.
2yy:
The communications clock cycle of the DRIVE-CLiQ connection on the Control Unit is not sufficient for all write transfers.
3yy:
Cyclic communication is fully utilized.
4yy:
The DRIVE-CLiQ cycle starts before the earliest end of the application. An additional dead time must be added to the
control. Sign-of-life errors can be expected.
The conditions of operation with a current controller sampling time of 31.25 µs have not been maintained.
5yy:
Internal buffer overflow for net data of a DRIVE-CLiQ connection.
6yy:
Internal buffer overflow for receive data of a DRIVE-CLiQ connection.
7yy:
Internal buffer overflow for send data of a DRIVE-CLiQ connection.
8yy:
The component clock cycles cannot be combined with one another
900:
The lowest common multiple of the clock cycles in the system is too high to be determined.
901:
The lowest common multiple of the clock cycles in the system cannot be generated with the hardware.
Remedy: - check the DRIVE-CLiQ wiring.
- reduce the number of components on the DRIVE-CLiQ line involved and distribute these to other DRIVE-CLiQ sockets
of the Control Unit. This means that communication is uniformly distributed over several lines.
For fault value = 1yy - 4yy in addition:
- increase the sampling times (p0112, p0115, p4099). If necessary, for DCC or FBLOCKS, change the assignment of the
run-time group (p21000, p20000) so that the sampling time (r21001, r20001) is increased.
- if necessary, reduce the number of cyclically calculated blocks (DCC) and/or function blocks (FBLOCKS).
- reduce the function modules (r0108).
- establish the conditions for operation with a current controller sampling time of 31.25 µs (at the DRIVE-CLiQ line, only
operate Motor Modules and Sensor Modules with this sampling time and only use a permitted Sensor Module (e.g. SMC20,
this means a 3 at the last position of the Article No.)).
- For an NX, the corresponding Sensor Module for a possibly existing second measuring system should be connected to
a free DRIVE-CLiQ socket of the NX.
- for BSR Motor Modules, the following applies: If Safety Extended Functions is enabled, and 6 axes are operated on the
DRIVE-CLiQ line, then the clock cycle for the actual value sensing must be set as follows: p9511 >= 8 * current controller
sampling time (p0115[0]).
For fault value = 8yy in addition:
- check the clock cycles settings (p0112, p0115, p4099). Clock cycles on a DRIVE-CLiQ line must be perfect integer
multiples of one another. As clock cycle on a line, all clock cycles of all drive objects in the previously mentioned parameters
apply, which have components on the line involved.
For fault value = 9yy in addition:
- check the clock cycles settings (p0112, p0115, p4099). The lower the numerical value difference between two clock
cycles, the higher the lowest common multiple. This behavior has a significantly stronger influence, the higher the
numerical values of the clock cycles.

Reaction: NONE
Cause: Too many DRIVE-CLiQ components were defined in the actual topology.
Note:

201354 <location>Topology: Actual topology indicates an illegal component

Message value: Fault cause: %1, component number: %2
Reaction: OFF2

yyxx hex: yy = component number, xx = cause.
xx = 1: Component at this Control Unit not permissible.
xx = 2: Component in combination with another component not permissible.
Note:
Pulse enable is prevented.
Remedy: Remove the illegal components and restart the system.
201355 <location>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 tool.
See also: r0098 (Actual device topology), p0099 (Device target topology)
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Remedy: One of the following counter-measures can be selected if no faults have occurred in the topology detection itself:
If commissioning is still not completed:
- carry out a self-commissioning routine (starting from p0009 = 1).
In general:
Set p0099 = r0098, set p0009 = 0; for existing Motor Modules, this results in servo drives being automatically 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 connection: 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 has already been 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 tool).
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 tool 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.

Note:
Remedy: Replace the defective component and restart the system.
201357 <location>Topology: Two Control Units identified on the DRIVE-CLiQ line

Message value: component number: %1, connection number: %2
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Cause: In the actual topology, 2 Control Units are connected with one another through DRIVE-CLiQ.
As standard, this is not permitted.
This is only permitted if the Technology Extension OALINK has already been installed on the two Control Units and has
been commissioned online.
yyxx hex:
yy = connection number of the Control Unit at which the second Control Unit is connected
xx = component number of the Control Unit at which the second Control Unit is connected
Note:
Remedy: In general:
- remove the connection to the second Control Unit and restart.
- for the S120M component DRIVE-CLiQ extension, interchange the hybrid cable (IN/OUT).
When using OALINK:
- remove the DRIVE-CLiQ connection and restart the systems.
- install OALINK on both Control Units and activate.
- Check the configuration of the DRIVE-CLiQ sockets in OALINK.
201358 <location>Topology: Line termination not available

Message value: CU connection number: %1, component number: %2, connection number: %3
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: At least one line with distributed drives is not terminated. The last participant on the line must be terminated with a line
termination connector.
This therefore ensures the degree of protection of the distributed drives.
zzyyxx hex:
zz = connection number of the distributed drive where there is no terminating connector
yy = component number
xx = CU connection number
Remedy: Install the line terminating connector for the last distributed drive.
201359 <location>Topology: DRIVE-CLiQ performance not sufficient

Message value: %1

- 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/p2001 is calculated between the BICO output and the BICO input.
p2002: contains the reference value for current

201513 <location>BICO: Interconnection cross DO with different scalings

Reaction: NONE
Cause: The requested BICO 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 1:
BICO output with voltage normalized unit, BICO input with current normalized unit, BICO output and BICO input lie in
different drive objects. This means that the factor p2002/p2001 is calculated between the BICO output and the BICO input.
p2002: contains the reference value for current
p2001: contains the reference value for voltage
Example 2:
BICO output with voltage normalized unit in drive object 1 (DO1), BICO input with voltage normalized unit in drive object
2 (DO2). The reference values for voltage (p2001) of the two drive objects have different values. This means that the factor
p2001(DO1)/p2001(DO2) is calculated between the BICO output and the BICO input.

- 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 isochronous PROFIBUS (p9511
= 0), then a suitable DP clock cycle must be configured. This must be set to less than 8 ms. If this is not possible, then p9511
must be set to the required actual value sensing clock cycle (< 8 ms).
- For SIMOTION D410-2, a suitable multiple of the DP clock cycle (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10) must be parameterized.
Otherwise, the clock cycle must be set to less than 8 ms.
- set the actual value sensing clock cycle in p9511 to the same value as the current controller clock cycle (p0115[0]).
- SINAMICS S110: set the actual value sensing clock cycle to p9511 = 250 µs.
- set the actual value sensing clock cycle in p9511 to 2 ms or higher.
- set the monitoring clock cycle in p9500 as an integer multiple of the sampling time of the current controller (p0115[0]).
- set the actual value sensing clock cycle p9511 to the required value (not equal to zero).
- increase the current controller sampling time (p0115[0]).
- if required, reduce the number of components connected to the corresponding DRIVE-CLiQ line, or distribute the
components across several DRIVE-CLiQ sockets.
- set the current controller sampling time to a sensible value (p0115[0]).

201663 <location>SI P1 (CU): Copying the SI parameters rejected

Message value: -
Reaction: OFF2
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Cause: In p9700, the value 87 or 208 is saved or was entered offline.

This is the reason that when booting, an attempt is made to copy Safety Integrated parameters from monitoring channel
1 to monitoring channel 2. However, no safety-relevant function has been selected in monitoring channel 1 (p9501 = 0,
p9601 = 0). Copying was rejected for safety reasons.
As a consequence, inconsistent parameterization can occur in both monitoring channels, which in turn results in additional
error messages.
Especially for inconsistent enabling of the safety functions on both monitoring channels (p9601 = 0, p9801 <> 0), fault
F30625 is output.
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.
Alternatively, using the STARTER commissioning tool, perform the following steps in the online mode:
- call the "Safety Integrated" screen form (the field "Select safety functions" is at "No Safety Integrated").
- click on "Change settings".
- click on "Activate settings" (as a consequence, Safety Integrated is inhibited on both monitoring channels).
201664 <location>SI P1 (CU): No automatic firmware update

Message value: %1
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: During booting, the system detected that the "Firmware update automatic" function (p7826 = 1) was not activated.
This function must be activated for automatic firmware updates/downgrades to prevent impermissible version
combinations when safety functions are enabled.
Note:
See also: p7826 (Firmware update automatic)
Remedy: When safety functions are enabled (p9501 <> 0 and/or p9601 <> 0):
1. Activate the "Firmware update automatic" function (p7826 = 1).
2. Backup the parameters (p0977 = 1) and carry out a POWER ON.
When deactivating the safety functions (p9501 = 0, p9601 = 0), the fault can be acknowledged after exiting the safety
commissioning mode.

Cause: A system defect was detected before the last boot or in the actual one. The system might have been rebooted (reset).
200000 hex, 400000 hex, 8000yy hex (yy any):
- fault in the actual booting/operation.

Cause: A logical 1 signal is present at the F-DI configured in p10006 for more than 10 seconds.
If, at the F-DI no acknowledgment was performed for safe acknowledgment, then a steady-state logical and 0 signal must
be present. This avoids unintentional safety-relevant acknowledgment (or the "Internal Event Acknowledge" signal) if a
wire breaks or one of the two digital inputs bounces.
Remedy: Set the failsafe digital input (F-DI) to a logical 0 signal (p10006).
Note:
201669 <location>SI Motion: Unfavorable combination of motor and power unit

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.
5: Number of relevant bits in the encoder coarse position invalid.
6: DRIVE-CLiQ encoder configuration invalid.
7: Non-safety relevant component of the encoder coarse position for the linear DRIVE-CLiQ encoder not valid.
8: Parameterized Safety comparison algorithm not supported.
9: Relationship between the grid division and measuring step for linear DRIVE-CLiQ encoder is not binary.
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).
11: The zero point setting of a linear DRIVE-CLiQ encoder used in Safety Integrated is not zero.
12: The second encoder is not parameterized (p9526 = 1 is not permissible).
13: Hydraulic Module: A second encoder has not been parameterized and a DRIVE-CLiQ encoder is not being used.
14: SCSE encoder is used in conjunction with an HTL/TTL encoder, another SCSE encoder or in a 1-encoder system.
Remedy: For fault value = 1, 2:
- use and parameterize an encoder that Safety Integrated supports (encoder with track A/B sine-wave, p0404.4 = 1).
- 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
- check whether there is a DRIVE-CLiQ communication error between the Control Unit and the Sensor Module involved
and if required, carry out a diagnostics routine for the faults identified.
- p9525 = 0 (not permissible). Check the encoder parameterization on the Sensor Modules involved.
- check p9515.0 (for DRIVE-CLiQ encoders, the following applies: p9515.0 = 1). Check the encoder parameterization on
the Sensor Modules involved.
- p12033 for an encoder used for Safety Integrated is not equal to 1. Use a linear DRIVE-CLiQ encoder and parameterize
for p12033 = 1.
- check p9541. Use and parameterize an encoder that implements an algorithm supported by Safety Integrated.
- check p9514 and p9522. Use an encoder and parameterize, where the ratio between p9514 and p9522 is binary.
- align the EDS assignment of all of the encoders used for Safety Integrated (p0187 ... p0189).
- use and parameterize a linear DRIVE-CLiQ encoder, where the zero point setting is equal to 0.
- parameterize an encoder for the second channel (p9526 > 1).

201680 <location>SI Motion P1 (CU): Checksum error safety monitoring functions

Message value: %1
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: The actual checksum calculated by the drive and entered in r9728 via the safety-relevant parameters does not match the
reference checksum saved in p9729 at the last machine acceptance.
Safety-relevant parameters have been changed or a fault is present.
Note:
0: Checksum error for SI parameters for motion monitoring.
1: Checksum error for SI parameters for actual values.
2: Checksum error for SI parameters for component assignment.
Remedy: - check the safety-relevant parameters and if required, correct.
- execute the function "Copy RAM to ROM".
- perform a POWER ON if safety parameters requiring a POWER ON have been modified.
- carry out an acceptance test.

Reaction: OFF2
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Cause: For dbSI:

- at least one enabled "Safe cam" (SCA) is parameterized in p9536 or p9537 too close to the tolerance range around the
modulo position: the minus position value of a cam must be greater than the lower modulo limit + cam tolerance (p9540)
+ position tolerance (p9542); the plus position value of a cam must be less than the modulo limit - cam tolerance (p9540)
- position tolerance (p9542). For a parameterized modulo position (p9505>0), the lower modulo limit = 0, the upper modulo
limit = p9505.
- the cam length of cam x = p9536[x]-p9537[x] is less than the cam tolerance + the position tolerance (= p9540 + p9542).
This also means that cams of the minus position value must be less than the plus position value.
For ncSI:
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.
See also: p9501
Remedy: Correct the cam position and carry out a POWER ON.
Note:
201687 <location>SI Motion: Illegal parameterization modulo value SCA (SN)

Message value: -
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: The parameterized modulo value for the "Safe Cam" (SCA) function is not a multiple of 360 000 mDegrees.
Note:
Remedy: Correct the modulo value for SCA and carry out a POWER ON.
Note:
See also: p9505
201688 <location>SI Motion CU: Actual value synchronization not permissible

Message value: -
Reaction: OFF2
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Cause: - it is not permissible to enable actual value synchronization for a 1-encoder system.
- it is not permissible to simultaneously enable actual value synchronization and a monitoring function with absolute
reference (SCA/SLP).
- it is not permissible to simultaneously enable actual value synchronization and safe position via PROFIsafe.
Note:
Remedy: - Either select the "actual value synchronization" function or parameterize a 2-encoder system.
- either deselect the function "actual value synchronization" or the monitoring functions with absolute reference (SCA/SLP)
and carry out a POWER ON.
- either deselect the "actual value synchronization" function or do not enable "Safe position via PROFIsafe".
Note:
SP: Safe Position
201689 <location>SI Motion: Axis re-configured

Reaction: OFF2
Cause: The axis configuration was changed and internally set to the correct value (e.g. switchover, linear axis/rotary axis).
Parameter p0108.13 is internally set to the correct value.
Note:
Number of the parameter that initiated the change.
See also: p9502
Remedy: The following should be carried out after the changeover:
- exit the safety commissioning mode (p0010).
- carry out a POWER ON.
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).
Note:
For the commissioning tool, the units are only consistently displayed after a project upload.
201690 <location>SI Motion: Data save problem for the NVRAM

Message value: %1
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Cause: There is not sufficient memory space in the NVRAM on the drive to save parameters r9781 and r9782 (safety logbook).
Note:
0: There is no physical NVRAM available in the drive.
1: There is no longer any free memory space in the NVRAM.
- use a Control Unit NVRAM.
- deselect functions that are not required and that take up memory space in the NVRAM.
Note:
NVRAM: Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (non-volatile read and write memory)
201691 <location>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 sum of Ti and To is too high for the selected DP cycle. The DP cycle should be at least 1 current controller cycle greater
than the sum of Ti and To.
No isochronous PROFIBUS:
The DP clock cycle must be at least 4x the current controller clock cycle.
Notice:
If this alarm is not observed, then message C01711 or C30711 – with the value 1020 ... 1021 – can sporadically occur.
Remedy: Configure Ti and To low so that they are suitable for the DP cycle or increase the DP cycle time.
Alternative when SI monitoring integrated in the drive is enabled (p9601/p9801 > 0):
Use the actual value acquisition cycle p9511/p9311 and, in turn, set independently from DP cycle. The actual values
sensing clock cycle must be at least 4x the current controller clock cycle. A clock cycle ratio of at least 8:1 is recommended.

201692 <location>SI Motion P1 (CU): Parameter value not permitted for encoderless
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: The parameter cannot be set to this value if encoderless motion monitoring functions have been selected in p9506.
Note:
Parameter number with the incorrect value.
See also: p9501
Remedy: - correct the parameter specified in the fault value.
- if necessary, deselect encoderless motion monitoring functions (p9506).

201694 <location>SI Motion CU: Firmware version Motor Module/Hydraulic Module older Control Unit
Message value: -
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: The firmware version of the Motor Module/Hydraulic Module is older than the version of the Control Unit.
It is possible that safety functions are not available (r9771/r9871).
Note:
This message can also occur, if after an automatic firmware update, a POWER ON was not carried out (Alarm A01007).
Remedy: Upgrade the firmware of the Motor Module/Hydraulic Module to a later version.

Cause: A Sensor Module, which is used for safe motion monitoring functions, was replaced. The hardware replacement must be
acknowledged. An acceptance test must be subsequently performed.
Note:
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Remedy: Carry out the following steps using the STARTER commissioning tool:
- press the "Acknowledge hardware replacement" button in the safety screen form.
As an alternative, carry out the following steps in the expert list of the commissioning tool:
- start the copy function for the node identifier on the drive (p9700 = 1D hex).
- acknowledge the hardware CRC on the drive (p9701 = EC hex).
- save all parameters (p0977 = 1).
Then carry out an acceptance test (refer to the Safety Integrated Function Manual).
For SINUMERIK, the following applies:
HMI supports the replacement of components with Safety functions (operating area "Diagnostics" --> Softkey "Alarm list"
--> Softkey "Confirm SI HW" etc.).

201696 <location>SI Motion: Test stop for the motion monitoring functions selected when booting
Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The forced checking procedure (test stop) for the safe motion monitoring functions is already selected when booting, which
is not permissible.
This is the reason that the test is only carried out again after first selecting the forced checking procedure.
Note:
See also: p9705 (SI Motion test stop signal source)
Remedy: Deselect the forced checking procedure for the safe motion monitoring functions and then select again.
Notice:
It is not permissible to use TM54F inputs to select the test stop.
Note:
The signal source to select the forced checking procedure is set via binector input p9705.

Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Cause: The time set in p9559 for the forced checking procedure (test stop) for the safe motion monitoring functions has been
exceeded. A new forced checking procedure is required.
After the next time the forced checking procedure is selected, the message is withdrawn and the monitoring time is reset.
Note:
- As the switch-off signal paths are not automatically checked during booting, an alarm is always issued once booting is
complete.
- the test must be performed within a defined, maximum time interval (p9559, maximum of 9000 hours) in order to comply
with the requirements as laid down in the standards for timely fault detection and the conditions to calculate the failure rates
of safety functions (PFH value). Operation beyond this maximum time period is permissible if it can be ensured that the
forced checking procedure is performed before persons enter the hazardous area and who are depending on the safety
functions correctly functioning.
See also: p9559, r9765
Remedy: Carry out the forced checking procedure of the safety motion monitoring functions.

201711 <location>SI Motion P1 (CU): Defect in a monitoring channel

Message value: %1
Reaction: NONE
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Cause: When cross-comparing the two monitoring channels, the drive detected a difference between the input data or results of
the monitoring functions and initiated a STOP F. One of the monitoring functions no longer reliably functions - i.e. safe
operation is no longer possible.
If at least one monitoring function is active, then after the parameterized timer has expired, the message C01701 "SI
Motion: STOP B initiated" is output.
The message value that resulted in a STOP F is displayed in r9725.
If the drive is operated together with a SINUMERIK, the message values are described in message 27001 of SINUMERIK,
with the exception of the following message values, which can only occur in SINAMICS:
1007: communication error with the PLC (sign-of-life)
1008: communication error with the PLC (CRC)
The following described message values involve the data cross-check between the two monitoring channels (safety
functions integrated in the drive).
The message values may also occur in the following cases if the cause that is explicitly mentioned does not apply:
- cycle times not uniformly parameterized (p9500/p9300 and p9511/p9311)
- excessively fast cycle times (p9500/p9300, p9511/p9311).
- For message values 3, 44 ... 57, 232 and 1-encoder system, differently set encoder parameters.
- For message values 3, 44 ... 57, 232 and 2-encoder system, encoder parameters that have not been correctly set.
- incorrect synchronization.
Message value (r9749, interpret decimal):
0 to 999: Number of the cross-compared data that resulted in this fault.

Possible cause 2 (during active operation)

The limit values are based on the actual value (r9713[0/1]). If the safe actual values on the two monitoring channels do not

The monitoring clock cycles in both channels and the axis types should be checked for equality and the same setting
applied if necessary. If the error continues to be identified, increasing the monitoring clock cycles may resolve it.
For message value = 0:
- no error was identified in this monitoring channel. Note the error message of the other monitoring channel (for HM:
C30711).
Commissioning phase:
- check the encoder parameters, and if required, correct (p9516/p9316, p9517/p9317, p9518/p9318, p9520/p9320, p9521/
p9321, p9522/p9322, p9526/p9326).
In operation:
- check the mechanical design and the encoder signals.
The monitoring clock cycles in both channels should be checked for equality and if required, set the same. In combination
with message value 5 from the other monitoring channel (with HM: C30711), the monitoring clock cycle settings must be
increased.
For message value = 11 ... 14:
- the limit values in p9534/p9334 or p9535/p9335 are not equal or have been set too high. Correct the values.
- increase the hysteresis tolerance (p9547/p9347). Possibly set the filtering higher (p9545/p9345).
For message value = 274, 275:
- increase the cam tolerance p9540/p9340 and/or the position tolerance p9542/p9342.
For message value = 278, 279, 280, 281:
- check as to whether the same acceleration limit has been set for both channels. A different result depends on whether
SLA is enabled and not selected - or enabled and selected. In this case, another message value is possible.
- if the message value is listed under cause: Check the cross-checked parameters to which the message 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
mechanical endstop, wear and window setting that is too narrow, encoder fault, ...).
Note:
For SINAMICS firmware version >= 4.7, the KDV list is increased when setting p9567 > 0. For a non-compatible version
of SINUMERIK this can lead to an error for the data cross-check (is indicated with message value >= 237). If necessary,
p9567 must be set = 0, or the firmware version of SINUMERIK upgraded.
- investigate the signal associated with the safety-relevant input (contact problems).
- perform safe acknowledgment, set the user agreement in both monitoring channels simultaneously (within 4 s).
- check the mechanical system of the axis. It is possible that the axis was shifted when switched-off, and the last saved
actual position no longer corresponds with the new actual position after the system has been powered up again.
- increase the tolerance for the actual value comparison when referencing (p9544).
Then check the actual values, perform a POWER ON and set the user agreement again.
For 1., the following applies: Perform safe acknowledgment. Set the user agreement again.
For 2., the following applies: Perform safe acknowledgment. Only set the user agreement again if the axis has been
referenced.

For message value = 1005: deselect checking the conditions for STO.
- check the PLC for the correct operating state (run state, basic program).
- check whether incorrect or overlapping address ranges have been set in SINUMERIK machine data MD10393.
- for diagnostics, refer to parameter (r9571).

- for 1-encoder systems, the following applies: check the encoder parameters for equality (p9515/p9315, p9519/p9319,
p9523/p9323, p9524/p9324, p9525/p9325, p9529/p9329).
- for a 1-encoder system and 2-encoder system the following applies: in order to correctly copy the encoder parameters
from p04xx, p9700 must be set to 46 and p9701 must be set to 172.
- for DQI encoders the following applies: If required, upgrade the firmware version of the Control Unit to a more recent
version, which is released for DQI encoders.
- the parameterized encoder does not correspond to the connected encoder - replace the encoder.
- carry out a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on) for all components or a warm restart (p0009 = 30, p0976 = 2, 3).
- replace the hardware.
- check the encoder actual values. If required, increase the position tolerance (p9542) and/or cam tolerance (p9540).
For message value = 1020, 1021,1024:

- if required, upgrade the firmware version of the Control Unit to a more recent version, which is released for DQI encoders.
- check the conversion factors such as spindle pitch or gearbox ratios.
- check whether the motor has sufficient current (>r9785[0]).
- reduce the minimum current (p9588).
- for synchronous motors increase the absolute value of p9783.
- check whether the function "Closed-loop controlled operation with HF signal injection" is activated (p1750.5 = 1) and if
required, deactivate.
- increase the ramp-function generator ramp-up/down time (p1120/p1121).
- check that the current/speed control is set correctly (torque-generating/field-generating current and actual speed value
may not fluctuate).
- reduce the dynamic response of the setpoint value.
- check the absolute current and voltage values, and set the control behavior so that this is greater than 3% of the rated
converter data in operation or in the case of a fault.
- increase the minimum current (p9588).
- increase the voltage tolerance (p9589). When operating a reluctance motor, the controller settings are generally set to
be more dynamic. If this message is output for the factory setting of p9589, then the acceleration limit should be increased
as countermeasure (p9589 = 500 ... 1000 %). From experience, this provides a rugged response.

201770 <location>SI Motion P1 (CU): Discrepancy error of the failsafe inputs/outputs

Message value: %1
Reaction: NONE
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Cause: The failsafe digital inputs/digital outputs (F-DI/F-DO) show a different state longer than that parameterized in p10002/
p10102 - or too many switching operations took place within a monitoring cycle p10002.
yyyyxxxx bin

Bit 0: Discrepancy error for F-DI 0
...
yyyy: Discrepancy error for failsafe digital outputs (F-DO).
Bit 0: Discrepancy error for F-DO 0
...
Note:
If several discrepancy errors occur consecutively, then this message is only signaled for the first error that occurs.
Remedy: - check the wiring of the F-DI (contact problems).
- if the wiring is correct, and for example there is no wire breakage, then a check must be made as to whether the switching
frequency at F-DI is too high and must therefore be reduced (switching pulses must have have a longer time between
them). The time interval between each signal edge at an F-DI must be at least equal to the discrepancy time before the
input is switched again.
Note:
This message can be acknowledged via F-DI or PROFIsafe (safe acknowledgment).
Discrepancy errors of an F-DI can only be acknowledged if safe acknowledgment was carried out once after the cause of
the error was resolved (p10006, acknowledgment via PROFIsafe, extended message acknowledgment). As long as safety
acknowledgment was not carried out, the corresponding F-DI stays in the safe state internally.
When the "Extended message acknowledgment" function (p9507.0) is active, the following applies:
If the F-DI assigned for STO or SS1 is in a failsafe state due to a discrepancy error, then when deselecting via this F-DI,
safe acknowledgment can no longer be executed.
Sets the discrepancy time for fast switching operations at the F-DIs:
For fast switching operations at the failsafe digital inputs (F-DI), it may be necessary to adapt the discrepancy time to the
switching frequency:
- the period of a cyclic switching pulse must be less than half of the discrepancy time (if necessary, round down).
- the time between two fast switching pulses should be longer than the discrepancy time (if necessary, round up).
- the discrepancy time must be at least p9500 (it must always be rounded-down or rounded-up to an integer multiple of the
SI sampling time p9500).
If a debounce time has been parameterized (p10017 > 0), then the shortest possible discrepancy time is directly specified
using the debounce time.
- the period of a cyclic switching pulse must be less than half of the discrepancy time p10017 (if necessary, round down).
- the time between two fast switching pulses should be longer than the discrepancy time+p10017 (if necessary, round up).
- the discrepancy time must be at least p9500 The debounce time must always be set less than the discrepancy time.
Example:
If the SI sampling cycle is 12 ms and the switching frequency is 110 ms (p10017 = 0), the maximum discrepancy time which
can be set is as follows:
p10002 <= 110/2 ms - 12 ms = 43 ms --> rounded-off, the following is obtained p10002 <= 36 ms
Since the discrepancy time can only be accepted as a whole SI sampling time, the value will need to be rounded up or down
to a whole SI sampling time value if it is not an exact integer multiple of an SI sampling time.
Basic secondary condition to set the discrepancy time:
The discrepancy time of the F-DIs must always be longer than the longest SI sampling time of all drives that use Safety
Integrated with TM54F (p9780/p9500).

Example:
Fault F01773 (P1) is signaled with fault value = 0001_0127 and fault F30773 (P2) is signaled with fault value 0000_0127.
This means that in state 7 (Z = 7) the state of the external readback signal was not set correctly (Y = 2) after DO-0 (X = 1)
was switched to ON/ON.
Fault value 0001_0127 indicates that 0 was expected (W = 0) and 1 (V = 1) was read back from the hardware.
Fault value 0000_0127 on the processor 2 indicates that the states were as expected.
In the case of fault F30773, W and V are always identical; a value of 0 always means that 0 was expected at the readback

201788 <location>SI: Automatic test stop waits for STO deselection via motion monitoring functions
Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The automatic test stop (forced checking procedure) was not able to be carried out after powering up.
Possible causes:
- the STO function is selected via safe motion monitoring functions.
- a safety message is present, that resulted in a STO.
Note:
Remedy: - deselect STO via safe motion monitoring functions.
- remove the cause of the safety messages and acknowledge the messages.
Note:
The automatic test stop is performed after removing the cause.
201789 <location>SI: Automatic test stop and brake test when test stop is selected not permitted

201794 <location>SI Motion: check modulo value for safe position via PROFIsafe
Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: When parameterizing the modulo value for safe position via PROFIsafe (p9505) the position actual value can jump when
the range that can be represented overflows.
Range that can be represented:
- 32-bit value: +/- 2048 revolutions
- 16-bit value: +/- 2048 revolutions (depending on p9574)
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Remedy: Correct the parameter assignment.

Set p9505 to 2^n revolutions - and to complete revolutions (i.e. a multiple of 360 °).
Note:
This alarm can be hidden for the case that the possible position actual value jump can be tolerated for the particular
application, or does not represent a problem; for example because the parameterized modulo range fits "almost as integer
number" in the range of +/- 2048 revolutions that can be represented.
To re-parameterize the alarm to "NO REPORT", it is not permissible that the alarm is present. As a consequence, the
following sequence is required for the re-parameterization:
- correct p9505 to "2^n".
- re-parameterize the alarm using p2118 and p2119.
- set p9505 back to the required value.
201795 <location>SI Motion P1 (CU): Wait time after exiting the safe pulse cancellation expired

Remedy: If, after a longer period of time, the message is not automatically withdrawn, the following checks have to be made as
appropriate:
For communication with SINUMERIK, the following applies:
- check any other PROFIBUS messages/signals present and remove their cause.
- check that assignment of the axes on the higher-level control to the drives in the drive unit is correct.
- check enable signal of the safety-relevant motion monitoring functions for the corresponding axis on the higher-level
control and if required, set it.
For communication with TM54F, the following applies:
- check any other messages/signals present for DRIVE-CLiQ communication with the TM54F and remove their cause.
- check the setting of p10010. All the drive objects controlled by the TM54F must be listed.
For communication with PROFIsafe F-Host, the following applies:
- check any other PROFIsafe communication messages/signals present and evaluate them.
- check the operating state of the F-Host.
- check the communication connection to the F Host.
- check the communication connection to the Motor Module/Hydraulic Module. It must be ensured that when the Control
Unit powers up, the Motor Module/Hydraulic Module is connected and at the latest is also switched-on with the Control Unit.
Otherwise, if the Motor Module/Hydraulic Module is subsequently inserted or switched on, a POWER ON must be
performed at the Control Unit.

Communication via DRIVE-CLiQ socket X100 ... X107 has not been switched to cyclic operation. The cause may be an
incorrect structure or a configuration that results in an impossible bus timing.
10:
Loss of the DRIVE-CLiQ connection. The cause may be, for example, that the DRIVE-CLiQ cable was withdrawn from the
Control Unit or as a result of a short-circuit for motors with DRIVE-CLiQ. This fault can only be acknowledged in cyclic
communication.
11:
Repeated faults when detecting the connection. This fault can only be acknowledged in cyclic communication.
12:
A connection was detected but the node ID exchange mechanism does not function. The reason is probably that the
component is defective. This fault can only be acknowledged in cyclic communication.
Remedy: For fault value = 100 ... 107:
- ensure that the DRIVE-CLiQ components have the same firmware versions.
- avoid longer topologies for short current controller sampling times.
- check the DRIVE-CLiQ cables at the Control Unit.

Message value: -
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Cause: After the line contactor closes the power unit does not signal the READY state within the monitoring time (p0857).
The end of the DC link precharging was not able to be completed for one of the following reasons:
1) There is no line supply voltage connected.
2) The line contactor/line side switch has not been closed.
3) The line supply voltage is too low.
4) Line supply voltage incorrectly set (p0210).
5) The precharging resistors are overheated as there were too many precharging operations per time unit.
6) The precharging resistors are overheated as the DC link capacitance is too high.
7) The precharging resistors are overheated because when there is no "ready for operation" (r0863.0) of the infeed unit,
power is taken from the DC link.
8) The precharging resistors are overheated as the line contactor was closed during the DC link fast discharge through the
Braking Module.
9) The DC link has either a ground fault or a short-circuit.
10) The precharging circuit is possibly defective (only for chassis units).
Remedy: In general:
- check the line supply voltage at the connecting terminals.
- check the line supply voltage setting (p0210).
- check the monitoring time and, if required, increase (p0857).
- where relevant, observe additional power unit messages/signals (e.g. F30027).
- the following applies to booksize units: Wait (approx. 8 min.) until the precharging resistors have cooled down. For this
purpose, preferably disconnect the infeed unit from the line supply.
For 5):
- carefully observe the permissible precharging frequency (refer to the appropriate Equipment Manual).
For 6):
- check the total capacitance of the DC link and reduce in accordance with the maximum permissible DC link capacitance
if necessary (refer to the appropriate Equipment Manual)
For 7):
- interconnect the ready-for-operation signal from the infeed unit (r0863.0) in the enable logic of the drives connected to
this DC link
For 8):
- check the connections of the external line contactor. The line contactor must be open during DC link fast discharge.
For 9):
- check the DC link for ground faults or short circuits.

Remedy: - set the suitable sampling time 250 µs <= p0115[0] <= 400 µs (e.g. by setting p0112 and p0115 to the factory setting).
- upgrade the power unit software and/or hardware for the Smart Mode. The availability of the Smart Mode function is
displayed in r0192.
- when the software gating unit is activated (p1810.2 = 1 or p1810.13 = 1), then the Smart Mode is not permissible. Either
the Smart Motor must be deactivated (p3400.0 = 0) or the software gating unit must be deactivated.
- for A_INF the following applies: deactivate the Smart Mode using p3400.0 = 0, and activate closed-loop voltage control
with p3400.3 = 1. For booksize power units, it must be noted that for a supply voltage p0210 > 415 V only the Smart Mode
is possible in the presetting. If DC link voltages above 660 V are permissible in the application, then voltage-controlled
operation can be activated with p0280, p0210, p3400 and p3510. The information regarding p0210 should be carefully

206200 <location>Infeed: One or several line phases failed

Message value: -
Cause: Failure overvoltage in one or several line supply phases.
The fault can be output in two operating states:
1. During the switch-on phase of the infeed unit.
The measured line supply angle deviates from the regular characteristic for a 3-phase system - the PLL cannot be
synchronized.
The fault occurs immediately after switch-on if, when operating with a Voltage Sensing Module (VSM), the phase
assignment L1, L2, L3 at the VSM differs from the phase assignment at the power unit.
2. While the infeed is operational.
During an active line voltage alarm (A06205) or current symmetry alarm (A06206), an additional fault occurred, which
resulted in a shutdown. Alarm values A06205 and A06206 could provide additional information about the cause of the
shutdown.
Possible causes:
- voltage dip on the line side or phase failure or overvoltage lasting longer than 10 ms.
- overload condition on the load side with peak current.
- line reactor missing.
Remedy: - check the line supply, terminals and fuses.
- check the connection and size (rating) of the line line filter and/or the line commutating reactor.
- check and correct the phase assignment at the VSM (X521 or X522) and at the power unit.
- check the load.
- if failed in operation, carefully note the previous alarm messages A06205/A06206 with alarm values.

Bit 12: Line voltage deviation identified in the Extended Smart Mode (p3400.0 = 1, p3440.1 = 1). Pulses are not inhibited.
Bit 14: Recharging current fault.
Remedy: When the alarm occurs, the following always applies:
- check the line supply, terminals and fuses.
- check the line supply quality and system fault level.
- check the load.
Dependent on the alarm value in r2124, the following also applies:
For bit 0 = 1:
Line fault occurred or poor/incorrect controller setting. For poor line quality or frequent line supply changeover operations,
when required, limit value p3463 can be increased until the alarm value no longer occurs.
For bit 2 = 1:
Line fault occurred or poor/incorrect controller setting. - check the controller setting and load.

206206 <location>Infeed: Line currents asymmetrical alarm

Message value: %1
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The asymmetry of the three line currents at the terminals of the power unit exceeds the set alarm threshold (p3465).
Generally, the cause of current asymmetry is line voltage asymmetry or failure of a line phase (e.g. a fuse has ruptured or
a terminal connection has become loose). As a consequence, the message is also signaled as possible phase failure in
status parameter r3405.2.
Cyclic power fluctuations in the DC link with the line frequency can also result in unequal rms values of the line currents.
For this type of operating scenario, it is recommended that monitoring is deactivated (p3465[0, 3] = 0).
Digits to the left of the decimal point:
Highest rms phase current in amps.
Decimal places:
Quotient of the lowest and highest rms phase current value.

206250 <location>Infeed: Defective capacitor(s) in at least one phase of line filter

Message value: %1
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: A change in the line filter capacitance was detected in at least one line phase.
The voltages and phase currents of the line filter, measured using a VSM, indicate a deviation of the filter capacitances
from the value parameterized in p0221.
A change or a defect of the line filter capacitors results in a shift of the resonant frequencies and can result in severe
damage to the drive system.
The currently calculated capacitance in µF (rounded-off to an integer number).
Note:
The first decimal point specifies the number of the phase (1, 2, 3) where the capacitance deviates from the specified value.
Remedy: - check the parameterized value of the filter capacitance (p0221).
- check the correct wiring of the VSM:
Differential voltages u12 and u23 must be available at the 100 V/690 V inputs of the VSM.
The phase currents of the line filter must be available at the 10 V inputs via a current-voltage transformer.
- check the alarm limits for the permissible filter capacitance deviation (p3676).
- check the scaling of the line supply voltage measurement using the VSM (p3660).
- check the scaling of the filter current measurement using the VSM (p3670).
- check the line filter capacitors and if required, replace the line filter.
For a parallel connection of power units, the following applies:
- parameter r3677[0...2] indicates the average value of all filter capacitances.
- parameters r7320[0...n], r7321[0...n] and r7322[0...n] indicate the capacitance of each individual filter. The defective filter
can be localized by the particular VSM.

206500 <location>Infeed: Line synchronization not possible

Message value: -
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms

Cause: The line synchronization is not possible within the monitoring time.
The infeed was re-synchronized to the line supply because it was interrupted due to an incorrect line frequency or due to
excessively high line voltage distortion.
After 20 attempts, synchronization - and therefore also the switching-on operation - were interrupted.
Especially for ALM chassis units, one possible cause is that the bypass contactor or circuit breaker does not close.
- check the setting of the threshold values (p0284, p0285).
- check the connecting terminals
- check the bypass contactor (if one is being used) and its associated control.
- check the state of the circuit breaker and its associated control.
- for significant line voltage distortion, after assessment by experts, the tolerance threshold p3457[2] can be adapted.
When using a Voltage Sensing Module (VSM):
- check the line supply connection at the terminals (X521, X522).
- check VSM activation (p0145, p3400).
Note:
In the case of chassis power units, the availability of correct VSM voltage measured values is imperative for line

- 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, p1300, p1404, p1800
Remedy: Increase the pulse frequency (p1800).

Possible causes for the violation of a parameter limit:
- When rounding off a parameter corresponding to its decimal places, the steady-state minimum limit or maximum limit was
violated.
- inaccuracies for the data type "FloatingPoint".
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.

Possible causes:
- incorrectly set current controller.
- PRBS amplitude set too high (p5296).
1: Dynamic response too low.
2: Current controller unstable.

Cause: The moment of inertia estimator has still not determined any valid values.
The acceleration cannot be calculated.
The moment of inertia estimator has stabilized, if the frictional values (p1563, p1564) as well as the moment of inertia value
(p1493) have been determined and the appropriate status signal is set (r1407.26 = 1).
The following parameters influence the response of the moment of the inertia estimator:

Cause: An error was identified when executing the "Test signal" function (p5307.1 = 1).
The function was not executed or was canceled.
1: No distance limit has been defined (p5308 = 0).
2: The moment of inertia estimator has not stabilized in the parameterized time (p5309) (r1407.26).
3: The parameterized distance (p5308) was exceeded.
4: no motor encoder parameterized (closed-loop speed control without encoder).
5: Offset (p5297) is too high for the parameterized distance (p5308).
6: Pulse enable was withdrawn while traversing.
7: speed setpoint not equal to zero.
See also: p5307, p5308, p5309
- Define distance limiting (p5308).
- increase the duration or distance limiting (p5309, p5308).
- check distance limiting (p5308).
- configure speed control with encoder.
- increase distance limit p5308 or reduce offset p5297.
- the fault can only be acknowledged after p5300 was set = 0.
- for the factory setting, a test signal duration of approximately 1.3 s is obtained. If an offset (p5297) of 60 rpm is set, for
example, then this results in a distance of approximately 1.3 revolutions. As a consequence, a value must be
parameterized in parameter p5308, which is longer than this distance + 10% controller reserve (e.g. p5308=515°). Further,
the distance depends on the speed controller sampling time (p0115[1]) and the controller configuration (p5271).
- keep the drive switched on until the "Test signal" function has been completely exited.
- set the speed setpoint to zero. It is possible that the setpoint was entered from the control panel.

SINAMICS alarms
Cause: Fault value (r0949, interpret bitwise binary):

Bit 1: Switch "Closed" feedback signal missing.
Bit 2: Switch "Open" feedback signal missing.
Bit 3: Switch feedback signal too slow.
After switching, the system waits for the positive feedback signal. If the feedback signal is received later than the specified
time, then a fault trip (shutdown) is issued.
Bit 6: Drive switch feedback signal not consistent with the bypass state.
The drive switch is closed when switching-on or when switching-in the motor.

207321 <location>Drive: Automatic restart active

Message value: -
VECTOR_AC
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The automatic restart (AR) is active. When the line supply returns and/or the causes of the existing faults are removed the
drive is automatically restarted. The pulses are enabled and the motor starts to rotate.
Remedy: - the automatic restart (AR) should, if required, be inhibited (p1210 = 0).
- an automatic restart can be directly interrupted by withdrawing the switch-on command (BI: p0840).
207329 <location>Drive: kT estimator, kT(iq) characteristic or voltage compensation does not function
Message value: %1
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: A function of the function module "extended torque control" (r0108.1) was activated - however the (complete) function is
not available.
1 ... 3: The kT estimator is active (p1780.3 = 1) without a functioning compensation of the voltage emulation error in the
drive converter. This means that the accuracy is severely restricted.
1: The drive converter voltage emulation error "final value" is 0 (p1952).
2: The drive converter voltage emulation error "current offset" is 0 (p1953).
3: The compensation of the voltage emulation error is disabled (p1780.8 = 0).
4: The kT estimator (p1780.3 = 1), the kT(iq) characteristic (p1780.9 = 1) or the compensation of the voltage emulation error
(p1780.8 = 1) was activated without activating the function module "extended torque control" (when the function module

- set the parameter to compensate the voltage emulation error in the drive converter (p1952, p1953).
- enable the compensation of the voltage emulation error in the drive converter (p1780.8 = 1).
- activate the function module "extended torque control" (r0108.1 = 1) or deactivate the corresponding functions (p1780.3
= 0, p1780.8 = 0, p1780.9 = 0).
- determine the parameters of the kT characteristic (p0645 ... p0648) using the rotating measurement (p1959.6, p1960).
- enter the parameters of the kT characteristic (p0645 ... p0648) (if known).

Message value: -
Cause: It is not possible to power up with the motor rotating (no flying restart).
In the following cases, the "flying restart" function is not supported:
Permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM):
- operation with U/f characteristic.
- encoderless operation without a Voltage Sensing Module (VSM) being connected.
Separately excited synchronous motor (SESM):

Use an encoder with absolute information (absolute track, unique zero mark, resolver with one pole pair). The function
cannot be tested as long as the encoder is not reset after learning (encoder fault, parking, POWER ON). Continuous use
is not recommended.
Only select cogging torque compensation for operation with motor encoder.
Activate learning, only for operation with encoder (p1300, p1404, p1317).
- set period p5253 = 1.

207400 <location>Drive: DC link voltage maximum controller active

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The DC link voltage controller has been activated because of the upper switch-in threshold (p1244).
A system deviation can occur between the setpoint and actual speed.
This alarm is automatically withdrawn after the upper threshold has been distinctly exceeded.
Otherwise, apply the following measures:
- use a Braking Module or regenerative feedback unit.
- increase the ramp-down times (p1121, p1135).
- shut down the Vdc_max controller (p1240 = 0).
207400 <location>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,
r1282).
The ramp-down times are automatically increased in order to maintain the DC link voltage (r0070) within the permissible
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: r0056, p1240, p1280
Remedy: If the controller is not to intervene:
- increase the ramp-down times.
- switch off the Vdc_max controller (p1240 = 0 for vector control, p1280 = 0 for U/f control).
If the ramp-down times are not to be changed:
- use a chopper or regenerative feedback unit.
207401 <location>Drive: DC link voltage maximum controller deactivated

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The Vdc_max controller can no longer maintain the DC link voltage (r0070) below the limit value (r1242, r1282) and was
therefore switched out (disabled).
- the line supply voltage is permanently higher than specified for the power unit.
- the motor is permanently in the regenerative mode as a result of a load that is driving the motor.

A possible cause can be e.g. that the line supply has failed.
See also: r0056, p1240, p1248
This alarm is automatically withdrawn after the lower threshold has been distinctly exceeded.
Otherwise, apply the following measures:
- check the line supply and infeed.
- increase the ramp-up times (p1120).
- shut down the Vdc_min controller (p1240 = 0).
207402 <location>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, r1286).

- the changeover speed for the motor model is too low (p1752). The monitoring function only becomes effective above the
changeover speed.
- pole position identification might have calculated an incorrect value when activated (p1982 = 1).
- the motor encoder speed signal is faulted.

0: The comparison of the pole position angle from the encoder and motor model resulted in an excessively high value (>
45 ° electrical).
1: The change in the speed signal from the motor encoder has changed by > p0492 within a current controller clock cycle.
Remedy: - check the phase sequence for the motor, and if required, correct (wiring, p1820).
- if the encoder mounting was changed - re-adjust the encoder.
- replace the defective motor encoder.
- correctly set the angular commutation offset (p0431). If required, determine using p1990.
- correctly set the motor stator resistance, cable resistance and motor-stator leakage inductance (p0350, p0352, p0356).
Calculate the cable resistance from the cross-section and length, check the inductance and stator resistance using the
motor data sheet, measure the stator resistance, e.g. using a multimeter - and if required, again identify the values using
the stationary motor data identification (p1910).
- increase the changeover speed for the motor model (p1752). The monitoring is completely deactivated for p1752 > p1082
(maximum speed).
- with pole position identification activated (p1982 = 1) check the procedure for pole position identification (p1980) and force
a new pole position identification procedure by means of deselection followed by selection (p1982 = 0 -> 1).
Note:
For High Dynamic Motors (1FK7xxx-7xxx), for applications with a higher current, if necessary, the monitoring should be
disabled.
207413 <location>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).

207414 <location>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, built-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.
Note:
With closed-loop position control, the serial number is accepted when starting the adjustment (p2507 = 2).
When the encoder is adjusted (p2507 = 3), the serial number is checked for changes and if required, the adjustment is reset
(p2507 = 1).
Proceed as follows to hide serial number monitoring:
- set the following serial numbers for the corresponding Encoder Data Set: p0441= FF, p0442 = 0, p0443 = 0, p0444 = 0,
p0445 = 0.
- parameterize F07414 as message type N (p2118, p2119).
Remedy: For causes 1, 2:
Carry out an automatic adjustment using the pole position identification routine. Acknowledge 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.

Message value: %1
Cause: The evaluation of the test pulse response indicated incorrect values.
0:
An impermissible pulse technique configuration was detected during ramp-up.
Possible causes:
- the pulse technique was initially selected when the system powered up (p1750.5 = 1) but the power unit component does
not support the current oversampling required (see r0192.23). As a consequence, p1750.0 was deselected automatically.

Possible causes:
- incorrect configuration of the power unit component
- the power unit component is faulty.
20:
For the specified pulse amplitude, the measured pulse response is much higher than the expected value.
Possible causes:

Once the pulse technique has been deselected automatically (p1750.5 = 0), there are two possible options:
- acknowledge the fault and save parameter p1750.5 = 0 -> field-oriented control mode to standstill is not used and
replaced by transition to open-loop control at low speeds.
- upgrade the power unit firmware (at least V4.3) -> field-oriented control mode to standstill is available.
With active selection of the pulse technique (p1750.5 = 1):
- POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on) the Control Unit and the power unit together again.
or
- carry out a manual warm restart (p0009 = 30, p0976 = 2, 3).
If this does not solve the problem: Replace the power unit component.
- control parameters might have been adjusted (factory setting, commissioning).
- filters must not be connected between motor and converter/inverter.

Message value: %1
Cause: In the case of a fault at maximum speed, the motor can generate an overvoltage that can destroy the drive system.
Associated Drive Data Set (DDS).
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Remedy: Overvoltage protection can be implemented in the following ways:

1. Limit the maximum speed (p1082) without any additional protection.
The maximum speed without protection is calculated as follows:
Rotary synchronous motors: p1082 [rpm] <= 11.695 * r0297/p0316 [Nm/A]
Linear motors: p1082 [m/min] <= 73.484 * r0297/p0316 [N/A]
Rotary synchronous motor connected to the high-frequency converter:
p1082 [rpm] <= 4.33165E9 * (-p0316 + root(p0316^2 + 4.86E-9 * (r0297 * r0313)^2 * (r0377 - p0233) [mH] * p0234 [µF]) /
(r0297 * r0313^2 * (r0377 - p0233) [mH] * p0234 [µF])
Linear motor connected to the high-frequency converter:
p1082 [m/min] <= 689.403 * p0315 * (root(p0316^2 * p0315^2 + 0.191865 * r0297^2 * (r0377 - p0233) [mH] * p0234 [µF]) /
(r0297 * (r0377 - p0233) [mH] * p0234 [µF])
Rotary induction motor connected to the high-frequency converter:
p1082 [rpm] <= maximum (2.11383E5 / (r0313 * root((r0377 [mH] + r0382 [mH]) * p0234 [µF])); 0.6364 * r0297 *
p0311[rpm] / p0304)
2. Use a Voltage Protection Module (VPM) in conjunction with the function "Safe Torque Off" (p9601, p9801 – only for
synchronous motors).
When using a synchronous motor with VPM at the high-frequency converter, the following must apply:
p1082 [rpm] <= p0348 * (r0377 + p0233) / p0233
When a fault condition exists, the VPM short-circuits the motors. During the short-circuit, the pulses must be suppressed
- this means that the terminals for the function "Safe Torque Off" (STO) must be connected to the VPM.
When using a VPM, p0643 must be set to 1.
3. Activate the internal voltage protection (p1231 = 3, only for synchronous motors).
In so doing, the following hardware preconditions must be fulfilled:
- the infeed of the group must be capable of energy recovery (Active Line Module, Smart Line Module), and the energy
recovery power of the infeed must not be less than the maximum utilized S1 power of the synchronous motor.
- For Control Unit and infeed, a 24 V power supply other than that for the Motor Module must be used with the voltage
protection activated. The 24 V power supply of this Motor Module must be DC link buffered (e.g. CSM).
- a Braking Module with a correspondingly configured braking resistor must be available at the DC link.
- the synchronous motor must be short-circuit proof.
207433 <location>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 using binector input p3876 = 0/1 signal and remains until a 0 signal in
this state.
207434 <location>Drive: It is not possible to change the direction of rotation with the pulses enabled
Message value: -

Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
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).

207435 <location>Drive: Setting the ramp-function generator for sensorless vector control
Drive object: HLA, HLA_840, VECTOR, VECTOR_AC
Reaction: Vector: OFF2 (IASC/DCBRK, NONE, OFF1, OFF3)
Cause: During operation with sensorless vector control (r1407.1) the ramp-function generator was stopped (p1141) or bypassed
(p1122). An internal setting command of the ramp-function generator output caused the set setpoint speed to be frozen or
was not able to be realized.
The drive is switched-on with flying restart activated (p1200), and at the same time the ramp-function generator is
bypassed (p1122).
Remedy: - deactivate the holding command for the ramp-function generator (p1141).
- do not bypass the ramp-function generator (p1122).
- suppress the fault (p2101, p2119). This is necessary if the ramp-function generator is held using jogging and the speed
setpoint is simultaneously inhibited (r0898.6).
Note:
For sensorless vector control it is not practical to read in the main setpoint of the speed control via p1155 or p1160 (p0922).
In this case, the main setpoint should be injected before the ramp-function generator (p1070). The reason for this is that
the ramp-function generator output is automatically set when transitioning from closed-loop speed controlled into open-
loop speed controlled operation.

Cause: The ratio between the multiturn resolution and the modulo range (p2576) is not an integer number.
This results in the adjustment being set back, as the position actual value cannot be reproduced after switch-off/switch-on.
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

207448 <location>Load gear: Position tracking, linear axis has exceeded the maximum range
Message value: -
Reaction: Infeed: NONE
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 actual 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.

SINAMICS alarms
Cause: When switched off, the currently effective motor encoder was moved through a distance greater than was parameterized
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 actual effective drive data set is
displayed in x = r0051 and the corresponding motor encoder is specified in in p0187[x].
Deviation (difference) to the last encoder position in increments of the absolute value after the measuring gear - if one is
being used. The sign designates the traversing direction.
Note:
The deviation (difference) found is also displayed in r2724.

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 increments to
length units (LU) has exceeded the value range for displaying the position actual value.
Note:
For a linear encoder, the following must be maintained:
- p0407 * p2503 / (2^p0418*10^7) < 1
- p0407 * p2503 / (2^p0419*10^7) < 1
Remedy: If required, reduce the traversing range or position resolution (p2506).
Increase the fine resolution of absolute position actual value (p0419).
Note for fault value = 3:
If the value for the maximum possible absolute position (LU) is greater than 4294967296, then it is not possible to make

Example:
p0186[7] = 5: DDS 7 is assigned MDS 5.
p0131[5] = 0: There is no component number set in MDS 5.

Cause: More than one encoder with identical component number is assigned to a single drive data set. In one drive data set, it is
not permissible that identical encoders are operated together.
1000 * first identical encoder + 100 * second identical encoder + drive data set.
Example:

207517 <location>Drive: Encoder data set changeover incorrectly parameterized

Message value: %1
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: In at least two drive data sets (DDS), the same motor data set (MDS) is assigned different encoder data sets (EDS) for the
motor encoder. In various DDSs, it is not permissible for an MDS to have different motor encoders.
The following parameterization therefore results results in an error:
DDS0: p0186[0] = 0, p0187[0] = 0
DDS1: p0186[1] = 0, p0187[1] = 1
The lower 16 bits indicate the first DDS. The upper 16 bits indicate the second DDS.
Remedy: Create two MDS with the same motor data in order to operate one motor with different motor encoders.

DDS0: p0186[0] = 0, p0187[0] = 0
DDS1: p0186[1] = 1, p0187[1] = 1

cc = 0: parameter has the value zero that is not permitted.
cc = 1: piston rod greater than piston diameter.
cc = 2: cylinder without piston rod (p0311 = 0 and p0312 = 0).

207751 <location>Drive: valve does not respond

Message value: -
Cause: A valve with a valve feedback signal was parameterized (p0218.2 = 1), however the valve does not follow the setpoint.
Remedy: - correct the configuration for the valve without valve feedback signal (p0218.2 = 0).
- check the valve natural frequency (p0216).
- for the incorrect sign, invert the valve actual value (p0218.3).
- check the valve and valve connection.
207752 <location>Drive: Piston position not possible

Message value: -
Cause: The piston was calibrated (p0476 not equal to 0) and the absolute position is available (p1407.3 = 1). However, the piston
position (r0094) is not plausible (negative or higher than the stroke in p0313).
Remedy: - check position inversion (p0410.1).
- check direction convention: piston position (r0094) must be zero, if the piston is located at the A side. When moving from
the A to the B side, velocity and position increase must be positive.
- check the piston calibration, and if required, recalibrate the piston with the piston at the A side (p1909.1 = 1).
- when replacing the encoder, recalibrate the piston.
- when shifting the machine zero point, recalibrate the piston.
Note:
Before acknowledging the fault, set p0476 = 0. Then calibrate the piston again (p1909.1 = 1 with the piston completely
retracted or set p1959.2 = 1 and p1960 = 1).

- after deselecting the "Basic positioner" (EPOS) function mode, check the motoring (p1528) and regenerative (p1529)
torque limit and modify again.
- blocksize device: for encoderless operation and a current controller sampling time p0115[0] < 80 µs, either set the pulse

207902 <location>Drive: Motor stalled

Message value: %1
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Cause: The system has identified that the motor has stalled for a time longer than is set in p2178.
1: Stall detection using r1408.11 (p1744, p0492).
2: Stall detection using r1408.12 (p1745) or via the flux difference (r0083 ... r0084).
3: Stall detection using r0056.11 (only for separately excited synchronous motors).
See also: p1744 (Motor model speed threshold stall detection), p2178 (Motor stalled delay time)
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 connected
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 current
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.
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).
207902 <location>Drive: Motor stalled

See also: p1744 (Motor model speed threshold stall detection), p2178 (Motor stalled delay time)
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Remedy: It should always be carefully ensured that the motor data identification (p1910) as well as the rotating measurement
(p1960) were carried out (also refer to r3925). For synchronous motors with encoder, the encoder must have been
adjusted (p1990).
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).
to the same motor that is controlled for the data set changeover.
If there is no fault, then the fault tolerance (p1744 or p0492) can be increased. For resolvers with a high signal ripple, for
example p0492 should be increased and the speed signal smoothed (p1441, p1442).
If the stalled motor should take place in the range of the monitor model and for speeds of less than 30 % of the rated motor
speed, then a change can be made directly from the current model into the flux impression (p1401.5 = 1). We therefore
recommend that the time-controlled model change is switched in (p1750.4 = 1) or the model changeover limits are
significantly increased (p1752 > 0.35 x p0311; p1753 = 5 %).
to the motor that is controlled for the data set changeover.
For closed-loop speed and torque control without speed encoder, the following applies:
- Check whether the drive stalls solely due to the load in controlled mode (r1750.0) or when the speed setpoint is still zero.
If so, increase the current setpoint via p1610 or set p1750.2 = 1 (sensorless vector control to standstill for passive loads).
- if the motor excitation time (p0346) was significantly reduced and the drive stalls when it is switched on and run
immediately, p0346 should be increased again or quick magnetizing selected (p1401).
- 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.
- if there is no fault, then the fault tolerance (p1745) or the delay time (p2178) can be increased.
The following generally apply for closed-loop and torque control:
- check whether the motor cables are disconnected.
- check the current limits (p0640, r0067, r0289). If the current limits are too low, then the drive cannot be magnetized.
- if the fault occurs with fault value 2 when the motor accelerates very quickly to the field weakening range, the deviation
between the flux setpoint and flux actual value can be reduced and, in turn, the message prevented, by reducing p1596
or p1553.
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).
207903 <location>Drive: Motor speed deviation

Message value: -
Reaction: 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.

- 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.
- the contactor for the external armature short-circuit configuration should be controlled using output signal r1239.0. For
instance, the signal can be connected to an output terminal via binector input p0738. Before this fault can be
acknowledged, p1231 must be set again.
- if the external armature short circuit is selected with contactor feedback signal (p1231 = 1), then the feedback signal must
be connected to an input terminal (e.g. r0722.x) and then interconnected to binector input p1235.
- alternatively, the external armature short-circuit without contactor feedback signal (p1231 = 2) can be selected.
- 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 otherwise the Motor
Module would be short-circuited!
- a Motor Module with a higher maximum current or a motor with a lower short-circuit current must be used. The maximum
Motor Module current must be higher than 1.8 x short-circuit current of the motor.
- for internal voltage protection, use a Motor Module in booksize or chassis format.
- for internal voltage protection, only use short-circuit proof motors.
- 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 deactivated for all motor data sets (p1231 not equal to 3). This therefore ensures that the

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 during 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 components.
- 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

207927 <location>DC braking active

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The motor is braked with DC current. DC braking is active.
1)
A message with response DCBRK is active. The motor is braked with the braking current set in p1232 for the duration set
in in p1233. If the standstill threshold p1226 is undershot, then braking is prematurely canceled.
2)
DC braking has been activated at binector input p1230 with the DC braking set (p1230 = 4). Braking current p1232 is
injected until this binector input becomes inactive.
This alarm is automatically withdrawn after DC braking.
207928 <location>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
automatically 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 3 minutes.

207934 <location>Drive: S120 Combi motor holding brake configuration

Message value: %1
Cause: A connected motor holding brake has been detected with an S120 Combi. However, this brake has not been assigned to
just one Combi feed drive and, therefore, brake control is not configured (correctly).
0: No motor holding brake is assigned (p1215 = 0 or 3 on all S120 Combi feed drives).
1: More than one motor holding brake has been assigned (p1215 = 1 or 2 on more than one S120 Combi feed drive) - or
there is more than one DRIVE-CLiQ motor with motor holding brake.
2: Brake was accidentally assigned to the spindle (p1215 = 1); this is not permitted for this software release.
3: An attempt was made to enable the function "Safe Brake Control" (SBC, p9602 = p9802 = 1) for the spindle. This is not
permitted for this software release.
Remedy: Check whether the motor holding brake has been assigned to one S120 Combi feed drive exclusively (p1215 = 1 or 2).
The fault will only be withdrawn once the motor holding brake has been assigned to just one of the S120 Combi feed drives

SINAMICS alarms
Cause: The absolute value of the speed difference from the two actual values (r2169, r1443) exceeds the tolerance threshold
(p3236) for longer than permitted (p3238).
Possible causes:
- the interconnection or scaling of the external encoder signal is incorrect (p1440, p2000).
- speed encoder for external encoder signal faulty.
- encoder signal's polarity or gain incorrect.
- smoothing time constant for model speed for monitoring too high (p2157).
- smoothing time constant or threshold values for monitoring too low (p3236, p3238).
If an external encoder signal is not being used:
- check speed signal r0061. For significant signal ripple, check the speed encoder and if required increase p0492.

Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The friction characteristic is incorrect.
1:
Incorrect parameter format.
1538:
The friction torque is greater than the maximum from the upper effective torque limit (p1538) and zero. This is the reason
that the output of the friction characteristic (r3841) is limited to this value.
1539:
The friction torque is less than the minimum from the lower effective torque limit (p1539) and zero. This is the reason that
the output of the friction characteristic (r3841) is limited to this value.

following condition:
0.0 < p3820 < p3821 < ... < p3829 <= p0322 or p1082, if p0322 = 0
Therefore the output of the friction characteristic (r3841) is set to zero.

Incorrect parameter number. The torques entered in the parameters for the friction characteristic do not correspond to the
following condition:
0 <= p3830, p3831 ... p3839 <= p0333

207980 <location>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 switch-on command.

7: Speed actual value exceeds the maximum speed p1082 or 75% of the rated motor speed.
8: Speed actual value is below 2 % of the rated motor speed.
- check the motor parameters.
- flux setpoint p1570 = 100 % and current setpoint p1610 = 0 % kept during the Lq measurement.
- reduce the regenerative load so that the drive does not reach field weakening when accelerating.
- reduce p1965 so that the q leakage inductance is recorded at lower speeds.

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 set 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.

- 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 deselected (p1990 = 0) or,

- for absolute encoders, only adjust the encoder to determine the commutation angle (p1990 = 1) if the encoder supplies
commutation information and is finely synchronized (p1992.8 = 1 and p1992.10 = 1). The encoder is possibly parked,
deactivated (p0145), not ready for operation or signals a fault condition.

207996 <location>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 previously
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 identification.
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 identification
using this data set.

Remedy: In general:
- check the line supply voltage at the input terminals.
For booksize drive units, the following applies:
- wait (approx. 8 minutes) until the precharging resistors have cooled down. For this purpose, preferably disconnect the
infeed unit from the line supply.
For 5):
- carefully observe the permissible precharging frequency (refer to the appropriate Manual).
For 6):
- check the total capacitance of the DC link and reduce in accordance with the maximum permissible DC link capacitance
if necessary (refer to the appropriate Manual).
For 7):
- interconnect the ready-for-operation signal from the infeed unit (r0863.0) in the enable logic of the drives connected to
this DC link
For 8):
- check the connections of the external line contactor. The line contactor must be open during DC link fast discharge.
For 9):
- check the DC link for ground faults or short circuits.
For 11):
- check the DC link voltage of the infeed (r0070) and Motor Modules (r0070).
If the DC link voltage generated by the infeed (or external) is not displayed for the Motor Modules (r0070), then a fuse has
ruptured in the Motor Module.

Message value: %1
Reaction: OFF2
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms

Cause: At least one enabled "Safety Cam" (SCA) is parameterized in p9336 or p9337 too close to the tolerance range around the
modulo position.
- the minus position value of a cam must be greater than the lower modulo limit + cam tolerance (p9340) + position
tolerance (p9342).
- the plus position value of a cam must be less than the upper modulo limit - cam tolerance (p9340) - position tolerance
(p9342).
- when the modulo position is parameterized (p9305 > 0), the lower modulo limit = 0, the upper modulo limit = p9305.
- the cam length of cam x = p9336[x] - p9337[x] is less than the cam tolerance + position tolerance (= p9340 + p9342).
This also means that cams of the minus position value must be less than the plus position value.

Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Remedy: - check the wiring of the F-DI (contact problems).

Note:
This message can be acknowledged via F-DI or PROFIsafe (safe acknowledgment).
Discrepancy errors of an F-DI can only be acknowledged if safe acknowledgment was carried out once after the cause of
the error was resolved (p10106, acknowledgment via PROFIsafe, extended message acknowledgment). As long as safety
acknowledgment was not carried out, the corresponding F-DI stays in the safe state internally.
When the "Extended message acknowledgment" function (p9307.0) is active, the following applies:
If the F-DI assigned for STO or SS1 is in a failsafe state due to a discrepancy error, then when deselecting via this F-DI,
safe acknowledgment can no longer be executed.
For cyclic switching operations at the F-DI, it may be necessary to adapt the discrepancy time to the switching frequency.
If the period of a cyclic switching pulse corresponds to twice the value of p10102, then the following formulas should be
checked:
- p10102 < (tp / 2) - td (discrepancy time must be less than half the period minus the actual discrepancy time)
- p10102 >= p9300 (discrepancy time must be at least p9300)
- p10102 > td (discrepancy time must be greater than the switch discrepancy time that may actually occur)
td = possible actual discrepancy time (in ms) that can occur with a switching operation. This must correspond to at least
1 SI monitoring cycle (see p9300).
tp = period for a switching operation in ms.
When debounce p10017 is active, the discrepancy time is directly specified by the debounce time.
If the period of a cyclic switching pulse corresponds to twice the debounce time, then the following formulas should be
checked.
- p11002 < p10117 + 1 ms - td
- p10102 > td
- p10102 >= p9300
Example:
For a 12 ms SI monitoring cycle and a switching frequency of 110 ms (p10117 = 0), the maximum discrepancy time which
p10102 <= (110/2 ms) - 12 ms = 43 ms
Rounded-off, p10102 <= 36 ms is obtained (since the discrepancy time can only be accepted as a whole SI monitoring
cycle, the value will need to be rounded up or down to a whole SI monitoring cycle if the result is not an exact multiple of
an SI monitoring cycle).

Example:
Fault F01773 (P1) is signaled with fault value = 0001_0127 and fault F30773 (P2) is signaled with fault value 0000_0127.

Fault value 0001_0127 indicates that 0 was expected (W = 0) and 1 (V = 1) was read back from the hardware.
Fault value 0000_0127 on the processor 2 indicates that the states were as expected.

Vector: ENCODER (IASC/DCBRK, NONE, OFF1, OFF2, OFF3, STOP2)
Hla: ENCODER (NONE, OFF1, OFF2, OFF3, 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).

Message value: R track: %1
Servo: ENCODER (IASC/DCBRK, NONE)
Vector: ENCODER (IASC/DCBRK, NONE)
Hla: ENCODER (NONE)
Cause: The zero mark signal level (track R) does not lie within the tolerance bandwidth for encoder 1.
The fault can be initiated when the unipolar voltage level is exceeded (RP/RN) or if the differential amplitude is undershot.
yyyyxxxx hex: yyyy = 0, xxxx = Signal level, track R (16 bits with sign)
The response thresholds of the unipolar signal levels of the encoder are between < 1400 mV and > 3500 mV.
The response threshold for the differential signal level of the encoder is < -1600 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 Sensor
Module.
The fault value can only be represented between -32768 ... 32767 dec (-770 ... 770 mV).
The signal level is not evaluated unless the following conditions are satisfied:
- Sensor Module properties available (r0459.31 = 1).
- monitoring active (p0437.31 = 1).
Remedy: - check the speed range; frequency characteristic (amplitude characteristic) of the measuring equipment might 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 the encoder type (encoder with zero marks).
- check whether the zero mark is connected and the signal cables RP and RN have been connected correctly (not
connected with the incorrect polarity).
- replace the encoder cable.
- if the coding disk is soiled or the lighting aged, replace the encoder.

For an EnDat 2.1 encoder, the significance of the fault value is as follows:
Bit 0: Alarm bit in the position protocol.
Bit 1: Incorrect quiescent level on the data line.
Bit 2: Encoder does not respond (does not supply a start bit within 50 ms).
Bit 3: CRC error: The checksum in the protocol from the encoder does not match the data.
Bit 4: Encoder acknowledgment error: The encoder incorrectly understood the task (request) or cannot execute it.
Bit 5: Internal error in the serial driver: An illegal mode command was requested.
Bit 6: Timeout when cyclically reading.
Bit 7: Timeout for the register communication.
Bit 8: Protocol is too long (e.g. > 64 bits).

231129 <location>Encoder 1: Position difference hall sensor/track C/D and A/B too large
Message value: %1
Hla: ENCODER (NONE)
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 incorrect
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 °).

- check the adjustment of the Hall sensor.
231130 <location>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.
yyyyxxxx hex
yyyy: Determined mechanical zero mark position (can only be used for track C/D).
xxxx: Deviation of the zero mark from the expected position as electrical angle.

Message value: %1
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
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.

231811 <location>Encoder 1: Encoder serial number changed

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
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:
Cause 2:
- a third-party, built-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.
Note:
(p2507 = 1).
p0445 = 0.
- parameterize F07414 as message type N (p2118, p2119).
Remedy: For causes 1, 2:
Carry out an automatic adjustment using the pole position identification routine. Acknowledge 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.
For causes 3, 4:
Accept the new serial number with p0440 = 1.

231905 <location>Encoder 1: Encoder parameterization error

Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Cause: An error was identified in the encoder parameterization.

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).
xxxx = 421:
For an EnDat/SSI encoder, the absolute position in the protocol must be less than or equal to 30 bits.

Remedy: - check whether the connected encoder type matches the encoder that has been parameterized.
- correct the parameter specified by the fault value (r0949) and p0187.
- 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).

235001 <location>TM54F: Parameter value invalid

Message value: %1
Reaction: NONE
Cause: The functionality of Safety Basic Functions via TM54F is used.
TM54F has been incorrectly parameterized (incorrect parameter assignment).
Only the following signals may be parameterized:
- STO active
- SS1 active
- internal event
- safe state
Possible causes:
- p10024 ... p10038 not set to 0 or 255.
- p10039, p10042 ... p10045 use signals from Safety Extended Functions.
Bits 0 ... 3 specifies for which drive group an illegal F-DI was parameterized:
Bit 0 = 1: drive group 1 error
Bits 4 ... 7 specifies for which F-DOs incorrect links were specified:
Bit 4 = 1: F-DO 0 error (p10042)
Bit 5 = 1: F-DO 1 error (p10043)
Bit 6 = 1: F-DO 2 error (p10044)
Bit 7 = 1: F-DO 3 error (p10045)
Remedy: - check the setting of the failsafe digital inputs (F-DI) for the Safety Extended Functions - and set to a value of 0 or 255
(p10024 ... p10039).
- check the setting of the signal sources for the failsafe digital outputs (F-DO) and if necessary, correct (p10042 ... p10045).

Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Reaction: NONE
Cause: A fault on the Terminal Module 54F (TM54) was acknowledged using the safe acknowledgment (p10006).
An additional acknowledgment is also required at the Control Unit.
Remedy: - acknowledge all faults on the Control Unit (BI: p2102).
or
- acknowledge all faults on the drive object TM54F (BI: p2103, p2104 or p2105).
Note:
A fault acknowledgment is triggered with a 0/1 signal.
235004 <location>TM54F: communication cycle invalid

Reaction: NONE
Cause: - the communication cycle specified in p10000[x] does not correspond with the monitoring cycle of the drive object, which
was specified in p10010[x].
As long as this fault is present, Failsafe Values are activated in TM54F. All the drives are not enabled.
If a bit is set in the range bit 0 ... 5, then the following applies:
The communication cycle specified in p10000[x] does not correspond with the monitoring cycle of the drive object which
was specified in p10010[x]. (if only p10000[0] used, then this value must be identical with all monitoring cycles of the drive
objects used in p10010[0...5].)
Bit 0 = 1: p10000[0] does not correspond with the monitoring cycle of p10010[0]
..
If a bit is set in the range bit 16 ... 21, then the following applies:
Bit 16 = 1: p10000[0] has been selected too low.
..
When using an axis with Basic Safety Functions with TM54F, then the monitoring cycle should be greater than 500us + 8
* current controller clock cycles of the drive.
Note:
This error is also signaled if a drive controlled with TM54F is parameterized so that the basic functions are controlled via
TM54F - and simultaneously the extended safety functions or ncSI have been parameterized.
The following applies for fault value = 0:
- since the firmware update of the TM54F it has not been switched off.
- the firmware of the connected TM54F is too old.
See also: p10010 (SI TM54F drive object assignment)
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Remedy: For a fault value in the range from bit 0 ... 5:

- first check that all drives, which are entered in p10010, have either Extended Safety Functions or Basic Functions via
TM54F.
- Execute the copy function for TM54F(p9700 = 87).
- adapt the checksums for TM54F(p9701 = 172).
- copy RAM to ROM.
For a fault value in the range from bit 16 ... 21:
Increase the current controller sampling time of the corresponding drive, in order to avoid faults in operation.
- Execute the copy function for TM54F(p9700 = 87).
- adapt the checksums for TM54F(p9701 = 172).
- copy RAM to ROM.
235005 <location>TM54F:parallel connection not supported

Drive object: HLA, HLA_840, SERVO, SERVO_840, SERVO_AC, VECTOR
Reaction: NONE
Cause: The TM54F function with Basic Safety Functions is used. This function is not supported when power units are connected
in parallel.
All drives of the TM54F assume Failsafe Values, and are not enabled.
Remedy: - deactivate parallel connection or TM54F with Basic Safety Functions.
- copy RAM to ROM.
235006 <location>TM54F: drive groups invalid

Message value: %1
Reaction: NONE
Cause: The functionality of the basic functions via TM54F is used.
Drive groups have been incorrectly parameterized (incorrect parameter assignment).
The value specifies in which drive group Basic Safety drives are mixed with Extended Safety drives.
As long as this fault is present, Failsafe Values are activated in TM54F. All the drives are not enabled.
Note:
-this error is also signaled if a drive controlled with TM54F is parameterized so that the basic functions are controlled via
TM54F and simultaneously extended safety functions or ncSI have been parameterized.
Remedy: Corresponding to the fault value, p10011 should be checked to ensure that no Basic Safety drives are mixed with Extended
Safety drives in a drive group.

Remedy: - carry out the safety commissioning of the drive involved and enable the safety functions for TM54F.

The expected states to be checked depend on the parameterized test mode (p10047).
The following expected states are tested in the test steps when testing the F-DOs:
The display format is as follows:
Test step (SL MA): Expected Diag-DO mode 1 | Expected DI 20 ... 23 mode 2 | Expected DI 20 ... 23 mode 3
(4C hex 57 hex): Diag-DO = 0 V | DI = 24 V | DI = 24 V
(62 hex 6D hex): Diag-DO = 0 V | DI = 0 V | DI = 0 V
(78 hex 83 hex): Diag-DO = 0 V | DI = 0 V | DI = 24 V
(8E hex 99 hex): Diag-DO = 24 V | DI = 0 V | DI = 24 V
(A4 hex AF hex): Diag-DO = 0 V | DI = 24 V | DI = 24 V
Example:
If an error with fault causes bb = 02 hex or 04 hex occurs in a test stop step, the test action for the fault took place in the
previous test stop step. The expected states are tested in the next step.
Master signals fault value 0001_04AF and slave signals fault value 0001_04A4.
aaaa = 1 --> F-DO 0 is involved.
bb = 04 hex --> the test of the Diag-DO was unsuccessful.
cc = The expected states were tested in test stop step AF on the master and A4 on the slave.
The expected state Diag-DO = 0 V was checked in the table, i.e. Diag-DO was at 0 V instead of the expected 24 V. The
associated test action took place in the previous step (99 hex DO OFF, A4 hex DO OFF). Both DOs were switched to OFF.

Remedy: Check the wiring of the F-DIs and F-DOs and restart the test stop.
Note:
The fault is withdrawn if the test stop is successfully completed.
For fault value = CCCCCCCC hex, DDDDDDDD hex, EEEEEEEE hex the following applies:
These fault values occur together with fault F35152.
Possible countermeasure:
- check all parameters for the test stop.
- you should also check whether the firmware version of the TM54F matches that of the Control Unit.
- check p10001, p10017, p10046 and p10047.
A POWER ON must be carried out after correcting the parameters.

Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Cause: Cyclic communication of at least one drive with the Terminal Module 54F (TM54F) is not active.
Possible causes:
- at least one Motor Module/Hydraulic Module was replaced (e.g. hardware was replaced).
- the parameterization of theTM54F (p10010) is inconsistent with the number of drives, which have drive-based motion
monitoring functions activated with TM54F.
- for the signaled drive, it is not permissible that the "Safe motion monitoring without selection" (p9601.5 = 1) is
parameterized.
- And activated drive has no communication via DRIVE-CLiQ.
- p10010 of the TM54F master module is not the same as p10010 of the TM54F slave module (in this case, F35051 is also
output).
- in p10010 of the TM54F master or slave module, the number of a drive object was entered several times.
- the control of the Basis Functions via TM54F was parameterized, and simultaneously the Extended Safety Functions or
ncSI were parameterized.

Note:
When this alarm is active, none of the drives listed in the alarm value, which have drive-based motion monitoring functions
operating with TM54F, are enabled.
The number of drive objects specified in p10010 is not equal to the number of drives that have drive-based motion
monitoring functions that have been enabled.
Remedy: For all drive objects specified in p10010, check whether the drive-based motion monitoring functions with TM54F are
enabled (p9601).
Check as to whether F35051 is also output and remove the cause.
Check whether each drive object number is listed only once in the indices of p10010.
Note:
If a drive was deactivated and activated without first having established the DRIVE-CLiQ connection, then this alarm is also
output.
When replacing a Motor Module/Hydraulic Module, carry out the following steps:
- start the copy function for the node identifier on the TM54F (p9700 = 1D hex).
- acknowledge the hardware CRC on the TM54F (p9701 = EC hex).
For SINUMERIK, the following applies:
HMI supports the replacement of components with Safety functions (operating area "Diagnostics" --> Softkey "Alarm list"

many switching operations were carried out within a monitoring cycle p10002.
yyyyxxxx hex
xxxx: The safety-relevant input terminals F-DI indicate a discrepancy.

Bit 9: Discrepancy for F-DI 9
yyyy: The safety-relevant output terminals F-DO indicate a discrepancy.
Bit 0: Discrepancy for F-DO 0
...
Bit 3: Discrepancy for F-DO 3
Note:
If several discrepancy errors occur consecutively, then this fault is only signaled for the first error that occurs.
The following options are available to analyze all of the discrepancy errors:
- using the commissioning tool, evaluate the input states and output states of the TM54F. All discrepancy errors are
displayed here.
- compare parameters p10051 and p10052 from the TM54F master and TM54F slave for discrepancy.
Remedy: Check the wiring of the corresponding F-DI (contact problems).
If the wiring is correct, and for example there is no wire breakage, then a check must be made as to whether the switching
frequency at F-DI is too high and must therefore be reduced (switching pulses must have have a longer time between
them).
The time interval between each signal edge at an F-DI must be at least equal to the discrepancy time before the input is
switched again.
Discrepancy errors in the failsafe digital inputs (F-DI) can only be completely acknowledged if, after the cause of the error
was resolved, safe acknowledgment was carried out (see p10006). As long as safety acknowledgment was not carried out,
the corresponding F-DI stays in the safe state internally.
Sets the discrepancy time for fast switching operations at the F-DIs:
For fast switching operations at the failsafe digital inputs (F-DI), it may be necessary to adapt the discrepancy time to the
switching frequency:
- the period of a cyclic switching pulse must be less than half of the discrepancy time (if necessary, round down).
- the time between two switching pulses should be longer than the discrepancy time (if necessary, round up).
- the discrepancy time must be at least r10003 (it must always be rounded-down or rounded-up to an integer multiple of
the SI sampling time r10003). If a debounce time has been parameterized (p10017 > 0), then the shortest possible
discrepancy time is directly specified using the debounce time.
- the period of a cyclic switching pulse must be less than half of the discrepancy time p10017 (if necessary, round down).
- the time between two fast switching pulses should be longer than the discrepancy time+p10017 (if necessary, round up).
- the discrepancy time must be at least r10003.
The debounce time must always be set less than the discrepancy time.
Example:
If the SI sampling cycle is 12 ms and the switching frequency is 110 ms (p10017 = 0), the maximum discrepancy time which
p10002 <= 110/2 ms - 12 ms = 43 ms --> rounded-off, the following is obtained p10002 <= 36 ms
Since the discrepancy time can only be accepted as a whole SI sampling time, the value will need to be rounded up or down
to a whole SI sampling time value if it is not an exact integer multiple of an SI sampling time.
Basic secondary condition to set the discrepancy time:
The discrepancy time of the F-DIs must always be longer than the longest SI sampling time of all drives that use Safety
Integrated with TM54F (p9780/p9500).

Cause: For the temperature evaluation via the Terminal Module (TM), at least one of the following conditions to initiate this fault
is fulfilled:
- alarm threshold has been exceeded longer than that set in the timer (p4102[0], p4103[0]).
or
- fault threshold exceeded (p4102[1]).
Note:
For sensor type "PTC thermistor" and "Bimetallic NC contact" (p4100[0] = 1, 4), the following applies:
- if r4101[0] > 1650 ohms, the temperature r4105[0] = 250 °C

Cause: The signals output from the Terminal Module 41 (TM41) for tracks A/B have reached the limit frequency. The output signals
are no longer in synchronism with the specified setpoint.
SIMOTION (p4400 = 0) operating mode:
- if the TM41 has been configured as the technology project, this fault is also output in response to short-circuited A/B

SINAMICS (p4400 = 1) operating mode:
- the fine resolution of TM41 in p0418 does not match that of the connector input that was interconnected at p4420
- the encoder position actual value r0479 interconnected at connector input p4420 has an excessively high actual speed
- the output signals correspond to a speed, which is greater than the maximum speed (r1082 of TM41).
Remedy: SIMOTION (p4400 = 0) operating mode:
- enter a lower speed setpoint (p1155).
- reduce the encoder pulse number (p0408).
- check track A/B for short-circuits.
SINAMICS (p4400 = 1) operating mode:

Cause: There is no frequency setpoint for the Terminal Module 41 (TM41). The output of tracks A/B has been held (frozen).
Possible causes:
- connector input p4420 is not interconnected.
- the leading encoder is not in the "ready" state (parking encoder or encoder data set not parameterized).
- TM41 has a fault.
- the TM41 is in the commissioning mode (p0010 > 0).
- the TM41 component is not connected to DRIVE-CLiQ.
Remedy: - appropriately interconnect connector input p4420.
- bring the leading encoder into the "ready" state.
- remove any TM41 faults.
235227 <location>EDS changeover/encoder data set change not supported

Message value: -
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: Terminal Module 41 (TM41) does not support the following application cases:
- the encoder interconnected via connector input p4420 has carried out an EDS changeover.
- the encoder interconnected with the TM41 was re-parameterized so that the position actual value of the encoder must
be newly interpreted.
For example, this is the case when changing the direction of rotation of the motor (p0410, p1821) or when changing the
fine resolution (p0418). This may result in a sudden change in the position actual value of the encoder (position setpoint
of the TM41), which must not be output at the TM41.
See also: p4420 (TM41 encoder emulation position setpoint)
Remedy: Set connector input p4420 = 0 and re-wire.
235228 <location>TM: Sampling time p4099[3] invalid

Message value: %1
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The sampling time set in p4099[3] for incremental encoder emulation in Terminal Module 41 (TM41) does not correspond
to the valid value. To resolve the problem, correct the setting of p4099[3]. The system automatically performs a warm
restart/sub-boot.
1:
A sampling time p4099[3] < 125 µs was set.
2:
An integer multiple of the DRIVE-CLiQ clock cycle was not entered in p4099[3].
3:
- in the SINAMICS mode (p4400 = 1), the sampling time in p4099[3] is not an integer multiple of the current controller
sampling time (p0115[0]) of the drive object, which supplies the position setpoint (CI: p4420) for the incremental encoder
simulation.
- the encoder interconnected via connector input p4420 (e.g. an SSI encoder) is sampled in a slower clock cycle.
Remedy: - if necessary, cancel the BICO interconnection via connector input p4420.
- check the rules specified under cause for setting the sampling time in p4099[3].
- if necessary, set the BICO interconnection via connector input p4420 again.
Note:
Every time the BICO interconnection is reset via connector input p4420, the sampling time is checked in p4099[3] and,
where necessary, this message is output.

235231 <location>TM: Master control by PLC missing

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The "master control by PLC" signal was missing in operation.
- interconnection of the binector input for "master control by PLC" is incorrect (p0854).
- the higher-level control has withdrawn the "master control by PLC" signal.
- data transfer via the fieldbus (master/drive) was interrupted.
Note:
This alarm is only decisive in the "SIMOTION" operating mode (p4400 = 0).
In the "SINAMICS" operating mode (p4400 = 1), the setpoints at p4420 are evaluated independent of binector input p0854.
Remedy: - check the interconnection of the binector input for "master control by PLC" (p0854).
- check the "master control by PLC" signal and, if required, switch in.
- check the data transfer via the fieldbus (master/drive).
- check the setting of parameter p2037.
235232 <location>TM41: Zero mark no longer synchronous POWER ON required

Message value: -
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Alarms
SINAMICS alarms
Cause: SINAMICS (p4400 = 1) operating mode:

When parameterizing a Terminal Module 41 (TM41) or when operating a TM41 Module, an operating state was reached
which required a POWER ON.
These include:
- changing the encoder pulse number (p0408).
- changing the fine resolution (p0418).
- withdrawing the DRIVE-CLiQ cable without first deactivating TM41 via p0105.
If this alarm was output, then the zero mark of the TM41 can no longer be output in synchronism to that of the encoder
interconnected at p4420.
SIMOTION (p4400 = 0) operating mode:
A previously set zero mark position (p4426) no longer matches encoder position (r0479) due to the change in the pulse
number (p0408).
Remedy: The incremental position at output X520 of TM41 can still be evaluated independent of the zero mark.
A POWER ON must be carried out if the TM41 zero mark is evaluated.
235233 <location>DRIVE-CLiQ component function not supported

Message value: %1
TM120, TM150, TM31, TM41, VECTOR, VECTOR_AC
Reaction: OFF2
Cause: A function requested by the Control Unit is not supported by a DRIVE-CLiQ component.
1: Terminal Module 31 does not support the function "Timer for temperature evaluation" (X522.7/8, p4103 > 0.000).
4: The improved actual value resolution is not supported (p4401.4).
5: The improved setpoint resolution is not supported (p4401.5).
6: The residual value handling in the setpoint channel cannot be deactivated (p4401.6).
7: Output frequencies greater than 750 kHz cannot be activated (p4401.7).
- Deactivate timer for temperature evaluation (X522.7/8) (p4103 = 0.000).
- use Terminal Module 31 and the relevant firmware version to enable the "Timer for temperature evaluation" function
(Article No. 6SL3055-0AA00-3AA1, firmware version 2.6 and higher).

Cause: The excitation sequence control signals a fault.
Bit 0:
When switched off or when switching off the excitation, the signal "excitation ready feedback signal" was not received
within the monitoring time.
Bit 1:
After an ON command, the signal "excitation ready feedback signal" was not received within the monitoring time.
Bit 2:
After the pulses were enabled, the signal "excitation operational feedback signal" was not received within the monitoring
time.
Bit 3:
The "excitation group signal fault" signal is present.
Bit 4:
The switch-on command for the excitation was reset, although pulse enable (r0899.11) is still available, or the excitation
current actual value has still not fallen below a minimum value.

380005 PROFIBUS/PROFINET: Bus %3 access conflict, type %1, counter %2

Parameters: %1 = Conflict type
%2 = Serial number within a conflict sequence
%3 = Number of the affected bus
Explanation: An access conflict occurred on the PROFIBUS/PROFINET in cyclic mode: An attempt has been made in the NCK to write
data to the bus or to read from the bus while cyclic data transfer was active. This may lead to inconsistant data.
Type 1: NCK attempts to read data before the cyclic transfer has finished on the bus.
Type 2: The NCK has not finished writing its data when the cyclic transfer begins again. Counter %2 contains a serial
number starting at 1. A maximum of 10 alarms are output in succession. If no conflicts occur in a DP cycle, the counter is
reset and new alarms are output again on the next conflict.
Remedy: - Check the timing again, in particular ensure that the settings in MD10050 $MN_SYSCLOCK_CYCLE_TIME and
MD10062 $MN_POSCTRL_CYCLE_DELAY are correct:
MD10062 $MN_POSCTRL_CYCLE_DELAY must be larger for type 1.

%2 = Parameter
Alarms
Explanation: The generation of the PROFIBUS/PROFINET in the SDB does not conform to the configuration specifications of the NC

Overview: Cause of the error, par 1:
- 01 = SDB contains slave/device without diagnostics slot, slave/device address
- 02 = SDB contains too many slot entries, identifier
- 03 = SDB contains no equidistance data, no function
- 04 = PNIO: SDB contains different Tdp (also TDC) on one device
- 05 = PNIO: SDB contains different Tmapc (also CACF) on one device
- 06 = PNIO: SDB contains different TI on one device
- 07 = PNIO: SDB contains different TO on one device
- 08 = PNIO: SDB contains device numbers that are too high (with values higher than 126)
- 09 = SDB content transferred segmented (too many slots/frames)
- 10 = Not enough memory space for segmented SDB content (too many slots/frames)
- 11 = The telegram configured in the SDB is too short for the selected telegram acc. to $MN_DRIVE_TELEGRAM_TYPE.
- 20 = SDB contains too many slaves/devices, quantity
- 21 = SDB missing or contains invalid data, error code
- 22 = SDB configuration data incorrect, slave/device address, error code
- 23 = Reserved
- 24 = Reserved
- 25 = Reserved
- 26 = Reserved
- 27 = Reserved
- 28 = Reserved
- 29 = Reserved
Alarm display.
Remedy: Check that the corresponding SDB:
- Contains a diagnostic slot for every slave/device
- Contains only slave/device entries relevant to the application
In principle, it is possible to include a superset of slaves/devices in the SDB that are partially relevant for different end
versions of the product. However, this overloads the NC memory and runtime capacity and should, therefore, always be
avoided.
If this alarm occurs, reduce the SDB to a minimum.
If the code for the error cause is 03, check that equidistance is activated in the SDB (e.g. using STEP 7 HW config).
If the code for the error cause is 10, reduce the number of slaves/slots on the bus concerned (e.g. using STEP 7 HW config).
If the alarm continues to occur, please send the error text to the control system manufacturer.
If the code for the error cause is 11, select a larger telegram as appropriate using STEP 7 HW config or
select a smaller telegram under $MN_DRIVE_TELEGRAM_TYPE.

9.3 System reactions for SINAMICS alarms
Fault responses
The fault reactions used and their meanings are described below:
Designation NONE
Response None
Description No reaction when a fault occurs.
Designation OFF1
Response Braking along the ramp-function generator deceleration ramp followed by pulse
disable.
Description Closed loop speed control (p1300 = 20, 21)
● The immediate specification of n_set = 0 at the ramp generator deceleration
ramp (p1121) causes the drive to be braked.
● When zero speed is detected, the motor holding brake (if parameterized) is
closed (p1215). The pulses are suppressed when the brake closing time (p1217)
expires.
The standstill is detected when the speed actual value falls below the speed
threshold (p1226) or when the monitoring time (p1227) started when speed
setpoint ≤ speed threshold (p1226) has expired.
Closed loop torque control (p1300 = 23)
● The following applies for torque control: Response as for OFF2.
● When the system switches to torque control with p1501, the following applies:
There is no separate braking reaction.
If the actual speed value falls below the speed threshold (p1226) or the timer
stage (p1227) has expired, the motor holding brake (if parameterized) is closed.
The pulses are suppressed when the brake closing time (p1217) expires.
Designation OFF1_DELAYED
Response As for OFF1, however delayed.
Description Faults with this fault reaction only become effective after the delay time on p3136
has expired.
The remaining time up to OFF1 is displayed in r3137.
Designation OFF2
Response Internal/external pulse disable
Description Closed-loop speed and torque control
● Instantaneous pulse suppression, the drive "coasts down".
● The motor holding brake (if one is being used) is closed immediately.
● Switch-on inhibit is activated.
Alarms
System responses
Designation OFF3
Response Braking along the OFF3 deceleration ramp followed by pulse disable
Description Closed loop speed control (p1300 = 20, 21)
● The drive is braked along the OFF3 down ramp (p1135) by immediately entering
n_set = 0.
● When zero speed is detected, the motor holding brake (if parameterized) is
closed. The pulses are suppressed when the closing time of the holding brake
(p1217) expires.
Standstill is detected when the speed actual value falls below the speed
threshold (p1226) or when the monitoring time (p1227) started when speed
setpoint <= speed threshold (p1226) has expired.
● Switch-on inhibit is activated.
Closed loop torque control (p1300 = 23)

● Switchover to speed-controlled operation and other reactions as described for
speed-controlled operation.
Designation STOP2
Response n_set = 0
Description ● The drive is braked along the OFF3 down ramp (p1135) by immediately entering
n_set = 0.
● The drive remains in closed-loop speed control.
Designation IASC/DCBRK
Response -
Description ● For synchronous motors, the following applies:
If a fault occurs with this fault reaction, an internal armature short-circuit is
triggered. The conditions for p1231 = 4 must be observed.
● For induction motors, the following applies:
If a fault occurs with this fault reaction, DC braking is triggered. DC braking must
have been commissioned (p1232, p1233, p1234).
Designation ENCODER
Response Internal/external pulse disable (p0491)
Description The fault reaction ENCODER is applied as a function of the setting in p0491.
Factory setting:
p0491 = 0 → Encoder fault causes OFF2
Please note:
When changing p0491, it is imperative that the information in the description of this
parameter is carefully observed.
Alarms
System responses
Acknowledge faults
Specifies the default method of acknowledging faults after the cause has been removed.
Designation POWER ON
Description The fault is acknowledged by a POWER ON process (switch drive unit off and on again).
Note:
If the fault cause has still not been resolved, then the fault is immediately displayed again after booting.
Designation IMMEDIATELY
Description Faults can be acknowledged on one drive object (Points 1 to 3) or on all drive objects (Point 4) as
follows:
1. Acknowledge via setting parameter:
– p3981 = 0 → 1
2. Acknowledge via binector inputs:
– p2103 BI: 1. Acknowledge faults
3. Acknowledging via a PROFIdrive control signal:
– STW1.7 = 0 --> 1 (edge)
4. Acknowledge all faults
– p2102 BI: Acknowledge all faults
Note
● These faults can also be acknowledged by a POWER ON.
● If this action has not eliminated the fault cause, the fault will continue to be displayed after
acknowledgment.
● Safety Integrated faults
The "Safe Torque Off" (STO) function must be activated in case of these faults: Safe Torque Off
must be deselected before these faults are acknowledged.
Designation PULSE DISABLE

Description The fault can only be acknowledged with a pulse disable (r0899.11 = 0).
The same options are available for acknowledging as described under acknowledgment with IMME‐
DIATE.
Reference to SINAMICS parameters

In some fields, reference is made to a SINAMICS parameter for the alarms.
The parameter number consists of the letter "p" or "r" as prefix, followed by a 4-digit number
(xxxx), and optionally an index, e.g. p0918[0...3].
