A07456EPOS: Setpoint velocity limited

What it means

A07456 is the alarm EPOS: Setpoint velocity limited. The EPOS function raises it when the currently active setpoint velocity is greater than the parameterized maximum velocity p2571. The drive then limits the setpoint velocity to this maximum and signals the limitation with this alarm — operation continues with the reduced velocity. The alarm is purely a notice that the velocity setpoint is being clipped to p2571.

Why it appears

  • The setpoint velocity currently active in the EPOS function is greater than the parameterized maximum velocity p2571.
  • Because of this, the drive limits the setpoint velocity to p2571 — the alarm reports exactly this limitation. The manuals for G130/G150 and S120/S150 describe this cause identically.

What to check

  1. Check the entered setpoint velocity.
  2. Reduce the velocity override (CI: p2646).
  3. Increase the maximum velocity p2571.
  4. Check the signal source for the externally limited velocity (CI: p2594).

Parameters the manual names

  • p2571 (EPOS maximum velocity, v_max): the maximum velocity the setpoint is compared against and limited to; increasing it is one of the manual's remedies when the higher setpoint velocity is intended.
  • p2646 (CI: EPOS velocity override, v_over): the override acting on the EPOS setpoint velocity; reducing it brings the setpoint velocity back below the maximum.
  • p2594 (CI: EPOS Maximum velocity externally limited, v_max ext lim): the signal source of the externally limited velocity; check it as the last step of the remedy.

Acknowledging and restarting

No acknowledgement is required for this alarm. It goes away once its cause is removed, i.e. as soon as the setpoint velocity no longer exceeds p2571 — after the entered setpoint or the velocity override (p2646) has been reduced, the maximum velocity (p2571) has been increased, or the external velocity limitation (p2594) has been corrected.

Questions technicians ask

What does alarm A07456 mean on SINAMICS S120 or G130?

The EPOS setpoint velocity currently active is greater than the parameterized maximum velocity p2571, so the drive limits the setpoint velocity to that maximum and raises the alarm.

How do I clear alarm A07456?

No acknowledgement is needed. Check the entered setpoint velocity, reduce the velocity override (CI: p2646), increase the maximum velocity p2571, or check the signal source for the externally limited velocity (CI: p2594); once the setpoint velocity is no longer above p2571, the alarm goes.

Does A07456 stop the drive?

No — the alarm has no reaction on the drive. Operation continues with the setpoint velocity limited to p2571.

Which parameter holds the EPOS maximum velocity?

p2571 (EPOS maximum velocity, v_max). While the condition is present, the setpoint velocity is limited to this value.
