C30706SI Motion P2: SAM/SBR limit exceeded

What it means

C30706 is a safety message of the Safety Integrated (SI) Motion monitoring (P2). The SAM (Safe Acceleration Monitor, safe acceleration monitoring) or SBR (Safe Brake Ramp, safe brake ramp monitoring) function — or the encoder-based motion monitoring — has detected that the drive's actual speed exceeded the selected tolerance after a stop or a speed changeover was initiated. The drive has already been shut down by the accompanying message C30700 "SI Motion MM: STOP A initiated"; on the G120 the shutdown message is printed as C30700 "SI Motion P2: STOP A initiated". Which monitoring case raised the message follows from the setting of p9306.

Why it appears

The manuals describe the condition per monitoring function, and the setting of p9306 decides which case applies. (The G120 manual lists only the SAM and SBR cases and names only STOP B (SS1) for SAM; for the HLA drive object only the encoder-based case is described.)

  • Motion monitoring with encoder (p9306 = 0): after initiating STOP B (SS1) or STOP C (SS2), the speed has exceeded the selected tolerance.
  • Encoderless with set acceleration monitoring SAM (p9306 = 3): after initiating STOP B (SS1) or STOP C (SS2), the speed has exceeded the selected tolerance.
  • Encoderless with set brake ramp monitoring SBR (p9306 = 1): after initiating STOP B (SS1) or an SLS changeover to the lower speed level, the speed has exceeded the selected tolerance.

What to check

  1. Check the braking behavior of the drive after the stop (STOP B (SS1), STOP C (SS2)) or after the SLS changeover to the lower speed level.
  2. If necessary, adapt the parameterization of the parameter settings of the SAM or the SBR function — the SAM tolerances (p9348, p9548) and the brake ramp settings of SBR (p9381, p9382, p9383), selected via p9306.
  3. Acknowledge the message as described under reset before the drive is started again.

Reading the message value

The manuals print no message value for this code, so there is no fault value to decode. Which monitoring function raised the message follows from the setting of p9306.

Parameters the manual names

  • p9306 — SI Motion function specification (Motor Module): tells you which monitoring raised the message — 0 = with encoder, 1 = encoderless with SBR, 3 = encoderless with SAM.
  • p9348 — SI Motion SAM actual velocity tolerance (Motor Module): the SAM tolerance setting to check and adapt when the SAM function raised this message.
  • p9548 — SI Motion SAM actual speed tolerance (Control Unit): the SAM tolerance at the Control Unit, likewise to check and adapt when SAM raised this message.
  • p9381 — SI Motion brake ramp reference value (Motor Module): part of the SBR brake ramp parameterization to check and adapt when the SBR function raised this message.
  • p9382 — SI Motion brake ramp delay time (Motor Module): SBR brake ramp parameter, likewise to adapt when SBR raised this message.
  • p9383 — SI Motion brake ramp monitoring time (Motor Module): SBR brake ramp monitoring time, likewise to adapt when SBR raised this message.

Acknowledging and restarting

After the shutdown through C30700, acknowledge the message. A POWER ON is not required when one of the safe acknowledgment paths is used: Terminal Module 54F (TM54F), onboard F-DI (only CU310-2), PROFIsafe, or the machine control panel. On the G120, acknowledge without a POWER ON using "Acknowledge internal event". Check the braking behavior and, if necessary, adapt the SAM or SBR parameterization before acknowledging.

What differs between the drive families

Questions technicians ask

What does SINAMICS C30706 mean?

It is a Safety Integrated (SI) Motion message: after STOP B (SS1), STOP C (SS2) or an SLS changeover to the lower speed level, the speed exceeded the tolerance selected for the active monitoring — encoder-based (p9306 = 0), SAM (p9306 = 3) or SBR (p9306 = 1). The drive has been shut down by C30700 (STOP A initiated).

How do I acknowledge C30706?

Without a POWER ON via the TM54F, the onboard F-DI (only CU310-2), PROFIsafe or the machine control panel; on the G120 use "Acknowledge internal event". Check the braking behavior and, if necessary, adapt the SAM or SBR parameterization first.

Which parameters belong to C30706?

p9306 selects the monitoring function (0 = with encoder, 1 = SBR, 3 = SAM). The SAM tolerances are p9348 (Motor Module) and p9548 (Control Unit); the SBR brake ramp is set with p9381 (reference value), p9382 (delay time) and p9383 (monitoring time).

Why does C30706 come after an SS1 stop?

Because after STOP B (SS1) was initiated, the actual speed exceeded the selected tolerance of the active SAM or SBR monitoring. Check the braking behavior and, if needed, adapt the SAM or SBR settings.
