What it means
A07477 is an EPOS message for a target position that lies below the software limit switch minus. The drive detects this during the actual traversing operation: the target position of the traversing job is less than the software limit switch minus. The message value carries no additional information, and depending on the drive configuration the same condition can also be issued as a fault (F07477).
Why it appears
- In the actual traversing operation, the target position of the traversing job is less than the software limit switch minus, so the commanded position lies outside the range that the minus limit switch permits.
What to check
- Correct the target position of the traversing job so that it is no longer less than the software limit switch minus.
- Alternatively, change the software limit switch minus; the remedy names the signal source p2578 and the value p2580 for this.
Parameters the manual names
- p2578 (CI: EPOS software limit switch minus signal source) — use it to change the software limit switch minus: this parameter selects the signal source that supplies the minus limit switch.
- p2580 (CO: EPOS software limit switch minus) — the software limit switch minus value itself; the target position is checked against it, and the remedy names it together with p2578 for changing the limit.
- p2582 (BI: EPOS software limit switch activation) — activation signal of the software limit switch function; the manual cross-references it with this message.
Acknowledging and restarting
As an alarm, the message requires no acknowledgment; correct the target position or the software limit switch minus (see above) and repeat the traversing operation with the corrected data. If the drive is configured to issue the same condition as a fault (F07477), the drive stops with OFF1 (OFF2, OFF3) and the fault must be acknowledged immediately before the drive can be restarted.
What differs between the drive families
Straight from the manuals' own fields — A07477 is not described identically everywhere.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | — | — | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2825 |
| G130, G150 | NONE | NONE | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1562 |

Questions technicians ask
What does SINAMICS A07477 mean?
It is an EPOS message indicating that, in the actual traversing operation, the target position of the traversing job is less than the software limit switch minus.
How do I fix alarm A07477?
Correct the target position of the traversing job, or change the software limit switch minus using p2578 (signal source) and p2580 (limit value).
Does A07477 need to be acknowledged?
No — as an alarm it requires no acknowledgment. If the drive is configured to issue the same condition as a fault, the drive stops with OFF1 (OFF2, OFF3) and the fault must be acknowledged immediately.
Which parameters belong to A07477?
p2578 and p2580, which the remedy names for changing the software limit switch minus, and p2582, the activation signal of the software limit switch function.
