What it means
A02063 is an alarm from the trace function. A signal to be traced is selected via a physical address, and the data type specified for this selection is invalid — for example in the entry that chooses the trigger signal or one of the recorded signals. The manuals for the individual converter families describe the message identically, so the meaning is the same on every drive. The message concerns only how the signal is selected in the trace configuration; the other trace alarms are listed on their own pages.
Why it appears
- The data type specified to select a signal using a physical address is invalid. The manuals print this single cause and name no other.
What to check
- Look at the trace signal selection and find the entry in which a signal is selected via a physical address with an invalid data type. The manual points to the trigger signal (p4711) and the record signals p4730, p4731, p4732 and p4733 as the parameters involved.
- Enter a valid data type in the affected parameter — this is the complete remedy the manual gives.
Parameters the manual names
- p4711 — trace trigger signal: check which data type selects the trigger signal here and set a valid data type.
- p4730 — trace record signal 0: check the data type of the signal selected for recording and correct it if it is invalid.
- p4731 — trace record signal 1: the data type used to select this recorded signal must also be valid.
- p4732 — trace record signal 2: the data type used to select this recorded signal must also be valid.
- p4733 — trace record signal 3: the data type used to select this recorded signal must also be valid.
Acknowledging and restarting
The alarm needs no acknowledgement and the drive takes no automatic action because of it. Once a valid data type has been entered in the affected trace parameter, the message is resolved on its own — no special restart procedure is described.
What differs between the drive families
Straight from the manuals' own fields — A02063 is not described identically everywhere.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | NONE | NONE | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2732 |
| G130, G150 | NONE | NONE | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1507 |
| G120 | NONE | NONE | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | — | SINAMICS G120 · p. 864 |
The drives this code lives on

Questions technicians ask
What does alarm A02063 mean on a SINAMICS drive?
The trace function has been given an invalid data type to select a signal using a physical address. It is a configuration message about the trace settings, not about power or motor hardware.
How do I fix A02063?
Use a valid data type in the affected trace parameter. Check the trigger signal in p4711 and the record signals p4730 to p4733, and correct the entry that selects a signal with an invalid data type.
Does A02063 stop the drive, and must it be acknowledged?
No. The drive takes no automatic action on this alarm and no acknowledgement is required; it clears once a valid data type has been entered.
Which parameters belong to A02063?
p4711 (trace trigger signal) and the trace record signals p4730, p4731, p4732 and p4733 — in each of them the data type used to select the signal must be valid.
