What it means
C01708 — “SI Motion P1 (CU): STOP C initiated” — is a Safety Integrated (SI) message of the motion monitoring in the Control Unit (CU). It reports that the drive is being stopped with a STOP C: braking runs along the OFF3 deceleration ramp, and once the parameterized time has expired the drive changes into “Safe Operating Stop” (SOS). How long this braking phase lasts is set in p9552, the transition time from STOP C to SOS. The G130, G150, S120 and S150 manuals describe this message identically, so the information below applies to all of these families.
Why it appears
- The higher-level control has issued a stop request.
- The message is a subsequent response to C01714 “SI Motion CU: Safely Limited Speed exceeded”.
- The message is a subsequent response to C01715 “SI Motion CU: Safely Limited Position exceeded”.
- The message is a subsequent response to C01716 “SI Motion CU: tolerance for safe motion direction exceeded”.
What to check
- Remove the cause of the fault at the control — deal with whatever made the higher-level control issue the stop request.
- If C01708 followed C01714, C01715 or C01716, carry out a diagnostics routine for that message and clear it first.
- Once the cause has been removed, acknowledge the message (the safe acknowledgment options are listed under acknowledgment and restart below).
Reading the message value
- The manual prints no message value for this message, so there is no fault value to decode on the operator panel.
Parameters the manual names
- p9552 — SI Motion transition time STOP C to SOS (SBH, Control Unit): the parameterized time after which the drive enters Safe Operating Stop (SOS) once STOP C has been initiated.
Acknowledging and restarting
The drive expects an immediate acknowledgment, which by default is performed with a POWER ON. The manual also allows a safe acknowledgment without a POWER ON, using one of the following: the Terminal Module 54F (TM54F), the onboard F-DI (only on the CU310-2), PROFIsafe, or the machine control panel. Remove the cause at the control first, then acknowledge.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes C01708 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | STOP2 | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Safety monitoring channel has identified an error (10) | None | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2677 |
| G130, G150 | STOP2 | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Safety monitoring channel has identified an error (10) | None | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1464 |

Questions technicians ask
What does C01708 mean on my SINAMICS drive?
It is an SI Motion safety message telling you that a STOP C has been initiated: the drive brakes along the OFF3 deceleration ramp and Safe Operating Stop (SOS) becomes active once the time set in p9552 has expired.
How do I clear C01708 without switching the power off?
The manual allows a safe acknowledgment without a POWER ON via the Terminal Module 54F (TM54F), the onboard F-DI (only on the CU310-2), PROFIsafe or the machine control panel. Otherwise the message is acknowledged immediately with a POWER ON.
What causes C01708?
Either the higher-level control issued a stop request, or the message appeared as a subsequent response to C01714, C01715 or C01716. In the second case, run a diagnostics routine for the message that came first.
Which parameter sets the time from STOP C to SOS?
p9552 — the SI Motion transition time from STOP C to SOS on the Control Unit (SBH).
