A07200Drive: Master control ON command present

What it means

A07200, "Drive: Master control ON command present", tells you that the ON/OFF1 command is present — the drive sees the ON signal and no 0 signal. The manual names the two ways the command arrives: via binector input p0840 (current CDS) or via control word bit 0 through the master control. On the G120XA the manual adds a second condition behind the same alarm: the "master control by PLC" signal was missing in operation. What the drive does when the alarm appears depends on the configuration — the manuals show responses ranging from no reaction at all to a stop along OFF1, with OFF2, OFF3 or STOP2 as parameterized alternatives.

Why it appears

  • The ON/OFF1 command is present (no 0 signal). The command is influenced either via binector input p0840 (current CDS) or via control word bit 0 through the master control — this core cause is printed for the G120, G120XA, G130, G150, S120 and S150 alike.
  • On the G120XA the manual broadens the cause: the "master control by PLC" signal was missing in operation. It names three reasons — the interconnection of the binector input for "master control by PLC" is incorrect (p0854), the higher-level control has withdrawn the "master control by PLC" signal, or the data transfer via the fieldbus (master/drive) was interrupted. The manual prints this block together with the related message F07220 (N, A) Drive: Master control by PLC missing.

What to check

  1. Switch the signal via binector input p0840 (current CDS) or via control word bit 0 of the master control to 0 — this is the remedy every manual gives for the alarm.
  2. G120XA: if the "master control by PLC" signal was missing in operation, check the interconnection of the binector input for "master control by PLC" (p0854).
  3. G120XA: check the "master control by PLC" signal and, if required, switch it in.
  4. G120XA: check the data transfer via the fieldbus (master/drive).
  5. Note from the G120XA manual: if the drive should continue to operate after withdrawing "master control by PLC", the fault response must be parameterized to NONE or the message type should be parameterized as alarm.

Parameters the manual names

  • p0840 (BI: ON / OFF (OFF1)) — the binector input through which the ON command reaches the drive in the current CDS; switch the signal here, or at control word bit 0, to 0 to clear the alarm.
  • p0854 (BI: Control by PLC/no control by PLC / Master ctrl by PLC) — the binector input for "master control by PLC"; on the G120XA check its interconnection when the signal was missing in operation.

Acknowledging and restarting

This alarm needs no acknowledgment — it goes away by itself once the ON/OFF1 signal is switched back to 0, either via binector input p0840 (current CDS) or via bit 0 of the control word of the master control.

What differs between the drive families

Straight from the manuals' own fields — A07200 is not described identically everywhere.

Questions technicians ask

What does SINAMICS alarm A07200 mean?

It reports that the ON/OFF1 command is present — the drive sees the ON signal and no 0 signal, arriving via binector input p0840 (current CDS) or via bit 0 of the control word through the master control.

How do I clear alarm A07200?

Switch the signal via binector input p0840 (current CDS) or via control word bit 0 of the master control to 0. The alarm needs no acknowledgment and clears itself once the signal is removed.

Why do I get A07200 on a G120XA?

On the G120XA the manual links the alarm to a missing "master control by PLC" signal: check the interconnection of p0854, whether the higher-level control withdrew the signal, and the data transfer via the fieldbus (master/drive).

Does A07200 stop the drive?

Not necessarily — depending on the configuration the alarm can simply report the condition, or the drive stops along OFF1, with OFF2, OFF3 or STOP2 possible as parameterized fault responses.
