What it means
A07567 signals that encoder 3 has reported an encoder error to the drive through the PROFIdrive encoder interface: the error bit G3_ZSW.15 is set in the encoder status word. Depending on how the drive is configured, the same condition can also be output as a fault (F) or with no reaction (N). The drive only outputs this alarm if p0480[2], the signal source of the encoder 3 control word, is not equal to zero.
Why it appears
- Encoder 3 has signaled an encoder error via the PROFIdrive encoder interface (bit G3_ZSW.15).
What to check
- Read the alarm value in r2124, interpreting it as a decimal number: it contains the error code that encoder 3 reports via G3_XIST2.
- Look up the meaning of that error code in the manual's description of r0483, to which the message entry refers.
- Acknowledge the encoder error using the encoder control word: set G3_STW.15 = 1 via the signal source interconnected in p0480[2].
Reading the message value
- The drive stores the alarm value in r2124; interpret it as a decimal number.
- The value is the error code that encoder 3 signals via G3_XIST2.
- The message entry itself does not decode the individual error codes; it refers to the description of r0483 for their meaning.
Parameters the manual names
- r2124 (alarm value): read the value of this alarm here, interpreted as a decimal number — it is the error code from G3_XIST2.
- r0483 (CO: Encoder actual position value Gn_XIST2): the manual's description of this parameter explains the G3_XIST2 error codes that the alarm value can contain.
- p0480 (CI: Encoder control word Gn_STW signal source): the alarm is only output when p0480[2] for encoder 3 is not equal to zero, and the acknowledgment G3_STW.15 = 1 reaches the encoder through the signal source interconnected here.
- r0481 (CO: Encoder status word Gn_ZSW): read the encoder status word here; bit G3_ZSW.15 carries the encoder error signal for encoder 3.
Acknowledging and restarting
The encoder error is acknowledged from the control side, through the encoder control word: set G3_STW.15 = 1 for encoder 3 via p0480[2]. If the drive is configured to output the condition as a fault, the fault reaction is none of OFF1, OFF2, OFF3, and the message is acknowledged immediately.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes A07567 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

Questions technicians ask
What does A07567 mean on a SINAMICS drive?
Encoder 3 has signaled an encoder error via the PROFIdrive encoder interface, through bit G3_ZSW.15 of the encoder status word. The alarm value in r2124 contains the error code from G3_XIST2.
How do I acknowledge A07567?
Set G3_STW.15 = 1 in the encoder control word for encoder 3; its signal source is interconnected in p0480[2].
Where is the meaning of the A07567 alarm value explained?
The drive stores it in r2124, to be interpreted as a decimal number. The manual explains the G3_XIST2 error codes in the description of r0483.
Can A07567 also appear as a fault?
Yes — depending on the drive configuration, the same condition can also be output as a fault or with no reaction. As a fault it triggers none of OFF1, OFF2, OFF3 and is acknowledged immediately.
