A07893Drive: Load monitoring pump leakage

What it means

A07893 (Drive: Load monitoring pump leakage) is issued when the drive's load monitoring is configured for a pump (p2193 = 4) and detects a leak in the pump circuit. With a leak, the pump requires a lower torque than in normal operation to pump the reduced quantity — that drop in torque is what the monitoring function evaluates. The code appears as an alarm; the drive does not intervene by itself, the monitoring function only reports the condition, and the remedy lies in the pump circuit or in the threshold settings.

Why it appears

  • The load monitoring is configured for a pump (p2193 = 4).
  • The monitoring function has detected a leak in the pump circuit.
  • Because of the leak, the pump requires a torque that is lower than in normal operation to pump the reduced quantity.

What to check

  1. Remove the leak in the pump circuit.
  2. If the alarm is a nuisance trip, reduce the torque thresholds of the leakage characteristic (p2186, p2188, p2190).

Parameters the manual names

  • p2193 (load monitoring configuration): the value 4 sets the load monitoring to pump mode — the configuration in which this leakage alarm is generated.
  • p2186 (load monitoring torque threshold 1 lower): reduce this threshold of the leakage characteristic if the alarm trips as a nuisance.
  • p2188 (load monitoring torque threshold 2 lower): second threshold of the leakage characteristic, reduced on a nuisance trip.
  • p2190 (load monitoring torque threshold 3 lower): third threshold of the leakage characteristic, reduced together with p2186 and p2188 on a nuisance trip.

Questions technicians ask

What does alarm A07893 mean on a SINAMICS drive?

The load monitoring, configured for a pump (p2193 = 4), has detected a leak in the pump circuit: the pump needs less torque than in normal operation to pump the reduced quantity.

How do I fix A07893?

Remove the leak in the pump circuit. If the alarm is a nuisance trip, reduce the torque thresholds of the leakage characteristic in p2186, p2188 and p2190.

Why does A07893 appear although there is no real leak?

That points to a nuisance trip; the remedy the manuals give is to reduce the torque thresholds of the leakage characteristic (p2186, p2188, p2190).

Which parameter configures the pump leakage monitoring?

p2193, the load monitoring configuration — the value 4 sets it to pump mode, in which this alarm is generated.
