A07495LR: Reference function interrupted

What it means

A07495 (LR: Reference function interrupted) reports that an activated reference function — the reference mark search or the measuring probe evaluation — was interrupted. The manuals that describe this code give identical causes and the same remedy for it. Depending on the drive's configuration, the same condition can also be issued as a fault (F) or with no reaction (N). The manual gives no message value for this alarm, so the code itself does not indicate which of the causes applies.

Why it appears

  • An encoder fault has occurred.
  • The position actual value was set while a reference function was active.
  • The reference mark search and the measuring probe evaluation were activated at the same time (BI: p2508 and BI: p2509 = 1 signal).
  • An activated reference function (reference mark search or measuring probe evaluation) was deactivated (BI: p2508 and BI: p2509 = 0 signal).
  • The input terminal for the measuring probe is not set.

What to check

  1. Go through the possible causes listed above and resolve the one that applies.
  2. Reset the control (BI: p2508 and BI: p2509 = 0 signal) and then activate the requested function again.
  3. If the measuring probe is involved, set its input terminal (p0488, p0489 or p2517, p2518).

Parameters the manual names

  • p2508 (BI: LR activate reference mark search / Ref_mark act) — the command input that starts the reference mark search; it must not be 1 while p2509 is also 1, and both inputs are set to 0 signal to reset the control.
  • p2509 (BI: LR activate measuring probe evaluation / MT_eval act) — the command input that starts the measuring probe evaluation; like p2508 it is set to 0 signal to reset the control and must not be 1 at the same time as the reference mark search.
  • p0488 (Measuring probe 1 input terminal / Meas probe 1 inp) — sets the input terminal for measuring probe 1; the remedy names it when the probe input has not been set.
  • p0489 (Measuring probe 2 input terminal / Meas probe 2 inp) — sets the input terminal for measuring probe 2, likewise named in the remedy.
  • p2517 (LR direct measuring probe 1 / Direct MT 1) — direct input for measuring probe 1, the alternative to p0488 given in the remedy for setting the probe input.
  • p2518 (LR direct measuring probe 2 / Direct MT 2) — direct input for measuring probe 2, the alternative to p0489.

Acknowledging and restarting

As an alarm, A07495 requires no acknowledgement. Work through the remedy: resolve the cause, reset the control with BI: p2508 and BI: p2509 = 0 signal, and activate the requested function again. If the drive is configured to issue the condition as a fault (F), it reacts with OFF1 (OFF2, OFF3 as alternatives) and the message must be acknowledged IMMEDIATELY; in the N variant there is neither a reaction nor an acknowledgement.

What differs between the drive families

Straight from the manuals' own fields — A07495 is not described identically everywhere.

Questions technicians ask

What does A07495 mean on a SINAMICS drive?

The drive has interrupted an activated reference function — the reference mark search or the measuring probe evaluation. The manual lists five possible causes, among them an encoder fault and a measuring probe input terminal that is not set.

How do I clear A07495?

Resolve the underlying cause, then reset the control by setting BI: p2508 and BI: p2509 to 0 signal and activate the requested function again. If the measuring probe input terminal is missing, set it with p0488, p0489 or p2517, p2518. The alarm itself requires no acknowledgement.

Why does the drive stop when A07495 appears?

The same condition can also be issued as a fault (F); the drive then reacts with OFF1 (OFF2, OFF3 as alternatives) and the message must be acknowledged IMMEDIATELY. As an alarm, and in the N variant, there is no reaction.

Which parameters belong to A07495?

p2508 activates the reference mark search and p2509 the measuring probe evaluation; both are set to 0 signal to reset the control. p0488 and p0489 set the input terminals of measuring probes 1 and 2, and p2517 and p2518 are the direct probe inputs named in the remedy.
