A01485Topology: Controller Extension not connected

What it means

A01485 ("Topology: Controller Extension not connected") is raised by the topology comparison: the drive expects a Control Extension (CX32) in the target topology — the project as configured — but does not find it in the actual topology, i.e. in the hardware as it is really connected. The message text names the component concerned and the connection to which it is expected. The alarm value stored in r2124 identifies the component class, component number and connection involved, so the missing component can be located before any hardware is touched.

Why it appears

  • The target topology (the project) and the actual topology (the connected hardware) do not match: the topology comparison has detected a Control Extension (CX32) that is present in the target but missing in the actual topology.
  • The cause lies either on the hardware side — the CX32 is not inserted, or not inserted at the connection the project expects — or on the project side, where the parameterization in the commissioning tool does not correspond to what is actually connected.

What to check

  1. Read the alarm value in r2124 and interpret it in hexadecimal (ddccbbaa): it names the connection number, the component number, the component class and the component number of the component that has not been inserted; component class and connection number are described in F01375.
  2. Where relevant, use "Topology --> Topology view" in the commissioning tool — it offers improved diagnostics capability (e.g. setpoint/actual value comparison).
  3. Adapt the topologies: insert the components involved at the right connection (this corrects the actual topology).
  4. Alternatively, adapt the project/parameterization in the commissioning tool (this corrects the target topology).
  5. Check the 24 V supply voltage.
  6. Check the DRIVE-CLiQ cables for interruption and contact problems.
  7. Check that the component is working properly.

Reading the message value

  • Message text: Component: %1, to %2, %3, connection: %4
  • Alarm value (r2124, interpret hexadecimal): ddccbbaa hex
  • dd = connection number (%4)
  • cc = component number (%3)
  • bb = component class (%2)
  • aa = component number of the component that has not been inserted (%1)
  • The component is described in dd, cc and bb, where the component has not been inserted; component class and connection number are described in F01375.

Parameters the manual names

  • r2124 — alarm value: read it in hexadecimal as ddccbbaa for this alarm; it gives the connection number (dd), the component number (cc), the component class (bb) and the component number of the component that has not been inserted (aa).

Acknowledging and restarting

No acknowledgement is required. The alarm clears itself once the actual and target topology match again — i.e. after the Control Extension has been inserted at the right connection or the project/parameterization has been corrected. The drive does not trip on this alarm, so no restart step is needed beyond eliminating the discrepancy.

The same on every family

Every manual that describes A01485 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

Questions technicians ask

What does alarm A01485 mean in SINAMICS?

The topology comparison has found that a Control Extension (CX32) exists in the target topology (the project) but is missing in the actual topology — the hardware as it is really connected.

How do I find out which CX32 or connection A01485 refers to?

Read the alarm value in r2124 and interpret it in hexadecimal as ddccbbaa: aa is the component number of the component that has not been inserted, bb the component class, cc the component number and dd the connection number; component class and connection number are described in F01375.

How do I clear alarm A01485?

Insert the components involved at the right connection to correct the actual topology, or adapt the project/parameterization in the commissioning tool to correct the target topology; then check the 24 V supply voltage, the DRIVE-CLiQ cables and the component itself.

Does A01485 have to be acknowledged?

No. The alarm clears itself as soon as the actual and target topology match again.
