4 Faults and alarms
4.2 List of faults and alarms
SINAMICS G120D
936
List Manual (LH14), 01/2016, A5E33842313
Remedy:
- make sure that the sensor is connected correctly.
- replace the sensor.
F30950
Power unit: Internal software error
Message class:
Hardware/software error (1)
Reaction:
OFF2
Acknowledge:
POWER ON
Cause:
An internal software error has occurred.
Fault value (r0949, interpret decimal):
Information about the fault source.
Only for internal Siemens troubleshooting.
Remedy:
- if necessary, upgrade the firmware in the power unit to a later version.
- contact Technical Support.
A30999 (F, N)
Power unit: Unknown alarm
Message class:
Power electronics faulted (5)
Reaction:
NONE
Acknowledge:
NONE
Cause:
An alarm occurred on the power unit that cannot be interpreted by the Control Unit firmware.
This can occur if the firmware on this component is more recent than the firmware on the Control Unit.
Alarm value (r2124, interpret decimal):
Alarm number.
Note:
If required, the significance of this new alarm can be read about in a more recent description of the Control Unit.
Remedy:
- replace the firmware on the power unit by an older firmware version (r0128).
- upgrade the firmware on the Control Unit (r0018).
F31100 (N, A)
Encoder 1: Zero mark distance error
Message class:
Actual position/speed value incorrect or not available (11)
Reaction:
ENCODER (IASC/DCBRK, 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).
Fault value (r0949, interpret decimal):
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.
See also: p0491 (Motor encoder fault response ENCODER)
Remedy:
- check that the encoder cables are routed in compliance with EMC.
- check the plug connections.
- check the encoder type (encoder with equidistant zero marks).
- adapt the parameter for the distance between zero marks (p0424, p0425).
- if message output above speed threshold, reduce filter time if necessary (p0438).
- replace the encoder or encoder cable.
F31101 (N, A)
Encoder 1: Zero mark failed
Message class:
Actual position/speed value incorrect or not available (11)
Reaction:
ENCODER (IASC/DCBRK, NONE, OFF1, OFF2, OFF3, STOP2)
Acknowledge:
PULSE INHIBIT
Cause:
The 1.5 x parameterized zero mark distance was exceeded.
The zero mark distance for the zero mark monitoring is set in p0425 (rotary encoder) or p0424 (linear encoder).
