What it means
C01710 is a safety message from Safety Integrated (SI): the drive is stopped via a STOP E (retraction motion) of SI Motion P1 in the Control Unit (CU). "Safe Operating Stop" (SOS) is activated after the parameterized time has expired — that time is the transition time from STOP E to SOS (SBH) set in p9554. G130, G150, S120 and S150 describe this message identically, so the behavior below applies to each of these families.
Why it appears
- A stop request from the higher-level control initiated the STOP E.
- 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.
- If no stop request came from the higher-level control, the message is a subsequent response to C01714, C01715 or C01716 — carry out a diagnostics routine for these messages.
- Acknowledge the message (see acknowledgment below).
Parameters the manual names
- p9554 — sets the SI Motion transition time from STOP E to SOS (SBH) in the Control Unit; this is the "parameterized time" after which SOS is activated once STOP E has been initiated.
Acknowledging and restarting
By default the message is cleared with an immediate acknowledgment via POWER ON. The manual additionally permits a safe acknowledgment without a POWER ON through one of the following routes: Terminal Module 54F (TM54F), the onboard F-DI (only on a CU310-2), PROFIsafe, or the machine control panel.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes C01710 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | NONE | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Safety monitoring channel has identified an error (10) | None | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2678 |
| G130, G150 | NONE | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Safety monitoring channel has identified an error (10) | None | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1465 |

Questions technicians ask
What does C01710 mean on a SINAMICS drive?
It is a Safety Integrated message from the Control Unit: the drive is stopped via a STOP E (retraction motion), and "Safe Operating Stop" (SOS) becomes active once the time parameterized in p9554 has expired.
How can C01710 be acknowledged without a POWER ON?
The manual permits a safe acknowledgment without a POWER ON via Terminal Module 54F (TM54F), the onboard F-DI (only on a CU310-2), PROFIsafe or the machine control panel.
Why does C01710 appear after C01714, C01715 or C01716?
C01710 can be the subsequent response to one of these messages; the manual then calls for a diagnostics routine for C01714/C01715/C01716 and for removing the cause of the fault at the control.
When does SOS become active after C01710?
"Safe Operating Stop" (SOS) is activated after the parameterized time has expired; p9554 sets this transition time from STOP E to SOS (SBH) in the Control Unit.
