What it means
A01032 carries the title ACX: all parameters must be saved. The drive raises it when the parameters of an individual drive object were saved (p0971 = 1) although there is still no backup of all drive system parameters. The manual states the consequence directly: the saved object-specific parameters are not loaded the next time that the system powers up, and for the system to successfully power up, all of the parameters must have been completely backed up. Depending on the drive's configuration, the same condition can also be issued as fault F01032.
Why it appears
- The parameters of an individual drive object were saved (p0971 = 1), although there is still no backup of all drive system parameters.
- Because only the object-specific parameters of that one object are backed up, they are not loaded at the next power-up — the drive demands a complete backup of all parameters before the system can successfully power up.
What to check
- Save all parameters: set p0977 = 1 or execute
copy RAM to ROM
, so that a complete backup of the drive system parameters exists.
Reading the message value
- The drive stores an alarm value in r2124, to be interpreted in decimal; the manual notes that it serves only for internal Siemens troubleshooting.
Parameters the manual names
- p0971 (Save drive object parameters): setting it to 1 saves the parameters of one individual drive object — doing this while the complete backup is still missing is what raises A01032.
- p0977 (Save all parameters): the manual's remedy for this code — set it to 1, or use
copy RAM to ROM
, to save all parameters. - r2124 (Alarm value): holds the alarm value of this alarm, to be interpreted in decimal; only for internal Siemens troubleshooting.
Acknowledging and restarting
While the message is present as alarm A01032, no acknowledgement action is required; it clears once all parameters have been saved (p0977 = 1 or copy RAM to ROM
). If the drive instead raises the condition as fault F01032, the manual lists the fault reaction as NONE and the fault must be acknowledged IMMEDIATELY.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes A01032 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | NONE | NONE | Hardware/software error (1) | Control Unit (CU) | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2562 |
| G130, G150 | NONE | NONE | Hardware/software error (1) | Control Unit (CU) | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1376 |

Questions technicians ask
What does SINAMICS alarm A01032 mean?
It means the parameters of one individual drive object were saved (p0971 = 1) although no backup of all drive system parameters exists yet. The manual warns that the saved object-specific parameters are not loaded at the next power-up.
How do I clear A01032?
Save all parameters by setting p0977 = 1 or by executing <q>copy RAM to ROM</q>. Once the complete backup of all parameters exists, the condition named by the alarm is removed.
Are my parameters lost after a power-up with A01032 active?
The manual states that the saved object-specific parameters are not loaded the next time the system powers up. For the system to successfully power up, all parameters must have been completely backed up — which is exactly what this alarm asks for.
Does A01032 have to be acknowledged?
Not as an alarm — it clears by itself once all parameters are saved. If the drive raises the same condition as fault F01032, that fault must be acknowledged IMMEDIATELY.
