What it means
F01050 is raised when the memory card inserted in the Control Unit (CU) and the device type do not match, i.e. the card was not made for the device it is plugged into. The manual's example is a memory card for SINAMICS S inserted in a SINAMICS G converter. While the fault is active the drive coasts down and must be acknowledged before it will start again.
Why it appears
- The memory card and the device type do not match — for example, a memory card for SINAMICS S is inserted in a SINAMICS G converter.
What to check
- Insert the matching memory card, so that the card belongs to the device it is used in.
- Alternatively, keep the memory card and use the matching Control Unit (CU) or power unit, so that card and device type match again.
Acknowledging and restarting
Remove the mismatch first: insert the matching memory card or use the matching Control Unit (CU) or power unit. The fault is then acknowledged immediately, and only after acknowledgment will the drive start again.
