What it means
A32930 tells you that the "Data logger" function — active when p0437.0 = 1 — has reacted to a fault with the Sensor Module of Encoder 2 and has saved the diagnostics data belonging to that fault on the memory card. The data is written to /USER/SINAMICS/DATA/SMTRC00.BIN ... /USER/SINAMICS/DATA/SMTRC07.BIN, and the file /USER/SINAMICS/DATA/SMTRCIDX.TXT records which BIN file was written last and how many write operations are still possible (the count runs downwards from 10000). Only Siemens can evaluate the BIN files.
Depending on how the drive is configured, the same condition can also be signaled without any reaction (N).
Why it appears
- The "Data logger" function is switched on (p0437.0 = 1) and a fault has occurred with the Sensor Module.
- The alarm itself only reports that the diagnostics data corresponding to that fault was saved on the memory card.
What to check
- No remedial action is necessary — the alarm withdraws automatically.
- The data logger is ready to record the next fault case.
Parameters the manual names
- p0437 — Sensor Module configuration extended / SM config ext: bit 0 of this parameter switches the "Data logger" function on; A32930 is only issued while p0437.0 = 1.
Acknowledging and restarting
No action is required: the alarm is automatically withdrawn and the data logger is ready to record the next fault case.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes A32930 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

Questions technicians ask
What does alarm A32930 mean on a SINAMICS drive?
It reports that the Data logger function of the Encoder 2 Sensor Module has saved the diagnostics data of a fault on the memory card. The alarm is only this notification; the saved data belongs to a fault that occurred beforehand.
How do I reset or acknowledge A32930?
You do not need to do anything. The alarm is automatically withdrawn, and the data logger is ready to record the next fault case.
Where does A32930 save the diagnostics data?
On the memory card in /USER/SINAMICS/DATA/, as SMTRC00.BIN ... SMTRC07.BIN plus the index file SMTRCIDX.TXT, which shows the last written BIN file and the remaining write operations (counted down from 10000). Only Siemens can evaluate the BIN files.
Why does A32930 appear at all?
Because the Data logger function is activated with p0437.0 = 1 and a fault has occurred with the Sensor Module; the logger then stores the fault diagnostics on the memory card and signals this with A32930.
