What it means
A07017 reports that the additional temperature (the parameters call it the supplementary temperature) has exceeded the alarm threshold set in p4102[0] — in numbers, the actual value in r4105 is greater than p4102[0]. The delay time in p4103 starts with this alarm; if the alarm is still active when this time has expired, the drive outputs fault F07018. The alarm itself does not trip the drive and needs no acknowledgment, so treat it as advance notice of F07018 and use the time in p4103 to find and fix the cause.
Why it appears
- Overtemperature: the actual value of the additional temperature in r4105 is greater than the alarm threshold in p4102[0].
What to check
- Read the additional temperature actual value in r4105 and compare it with the alarm threshold in p4102[0] to see whether, and by how much, the threshold is still exceeded.
- Make sure that the sensor is connected correctly.
- Check the parameterization of p4100, which sets the type of the supplementary temperature sensor.
Parameters the manual names
- p4100 — supplementary temperature sensor type; the remedy for this alarm is to check the parameterization here.
- p4102 — supplementary temperature alarm threshold; A07017 is raised when r4105 exceeds p4102[0].
- p4103 — supplementary temperature delay time; it starts with this alarm, and fault F07018 is output if the alarm is still active once it has expired.
- r4105 — actual value of the supplementary temperature; read it to compare the current temperature with the threshold in p4102[0].
Acknowledging and restarting
No acknowledgment is needed for this alarm. The alarm condition is the temperature in r4105 being greater than the threshold in p4102[0], so it remains as long as the temperature stays above it. The decisive point is the delay time in p4103: if the alarm is still active when this time has expired, the drive outputs fault F07018.
The same on every family

Questions technicians ask
What does SINAMICS alarm A07017 mean?
It means the additional temperature has exceeded the alarm threshold in p4102[0], i.e. the actual value in r4105 is greater than the threshold. The delay time in p4103 starts with the alarm.
Does A07017 have to be acknowledged?
No, the alarm itself requires no acknowledgment. If it is still active after the delay time in p4103 has expired, the drive outputs fault F07018 instead.
What should I check when A07017 appears?
Make sure the sensor is connected correctly and check the sensor type parameterization in p4100. Comparing r4105 with p4102[0] shows whether the threshold is still exceeded.
Which fault follows A07017?
Fault F07018 is output if the alarm is still active after the time in p4103 has expired.
