What it means
The drive signals A32915 because the configuration for encoder 2 is incorrect. Which concrete situation the drive has detected is told by the alarm value that it writes to r2124, interpreted as a decimal number. Depending on the drive configuration, the same condition can also be signalled as a fault (F) or as a message without reaction (N) instead of the alarm.
Why it appears
- The configuration for encoder 2 is incorrect; the alarm value in r2124 (interpret decimal) tells which case applies.
- Both descriptions concern the Sensor Module Encoder 2 and are nearly identical; the description for S120 and S150 additionally lists the alarm values 2 and 3, where the cyclic DQ receive or send telegram is too long and is limited, while the description for G130 and G150 only contains the alarm values 1 and 419.
What to check
- Read the alarm value in r2124 and interpret it as a decimal number to determine which case applies.
- Alarm value 1: no re-parameterization is permissible between fault and alarm — the remedy is simply that no re-parameterization takes place in this interval.
- Alarm value 419: reduce the fine resolution (p0419), or deactivate the monitoring via p0437.25 if the complete multiturn range is not required.
Reading the message value
- 1 — Re-parameterization between fault/alarm is not permissible.
- 2 — The cyclic DQ receive telegram is too long and is limited (listed for S120 and S150).
- 3 — The cyclic DQ send telegram is too long and is limited (listed for S120 and S150).
- 419 — When the fine resolution Gx_XIST2 is configured, the encoder identifies a maximum possible absolute position actual value (r0483) that can no longer be represented within 32 bits.
Parameters the manual names
- r2124 — alarm value: read it as a decimal number to see which case the drive has detected.
- p0419 — fine resolution of the absolute value Gx_XIST2 (in bits): reduce it when alarm value 419 occurs.
- p0437 — Sensor Module configuration extended: p0437.25 deactivates the monitoring for alarm value 419 when the complete multiturn range is not required.
Acknowledging and restarting
The alarm does not require an acknowledgement; the remaining task is to correct the encoder 2 configuration as the alarm value indicates. If the drive signals the same condition as a fault instead, the fault must be acknowledged IMMEDIATELY — the reaction specified for it is NONE (IASC/DCBRK), for HLA simply NONE. As a message without reaction (N), neither a reaction nor an acknowledgement applies.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes A32915 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | NONE | NONE | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | Sensor Module Encoder 2 | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 3129 |
| G130, G150 | NONE | NONE | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | Sensor Module Encoder 2 | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1805 |

Questions technicians ask
What does SINAMICS A32915 mean?
The drive is reporting that the configuration for encoder 2 is incorrect. The alarm value in r2124, read as a decimal number, tells which concrete case has occurred.
How do I remedy A32915 with alarm value 419?
Reduce the fine resolution (p0419) or deactivate the monitoring via p0437.25, if the complete multiturn range is not required. The alarm itself requires no acknowledgement.
Does A32915 have to be acknowledged?
Not as an alarm. If the drive signals the same condition as a fault, it must be acknowledged IMMEDIATELY.
What does alarm value 1 in r2124 mean for A32915?
That a re-parameterization took place between a fault and an alarm, which is not permissible. The remedy is that no re-parameterization occurs between fault and alarm.
