What it means
F01061 is an internal error of the Control Unit (CU): an application that is not registered with TSM has attempted to register with registerSlaves(). The list manuals for the G130/G150 and for the S120/S150 describe the fault identically for the Control Unit. The drive stores the fault value, the Method ID, in r0949, and the value must be interpreted hexadecimal.
Why it appears
- An application tried to register with registerSlaves() although it is not registered with TSM.
- The application's registration with TSM did not succeed.
- The application registered in the wrong sequence:
It is always necessary to log in to the TSM before registerSlaves() can be used.
What to check
- Note the fault value from r0949 — the Method ID, read hexadecimal — so Technical Support can trace the registration problem.
- Contact Technical Support: the manual gives no on-site remedy and states the message is only for internal Siemens troubleshooting.
Reading the message value
- The drive stores the Method ID in r0949; the value is interpreted hexadecimal.
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 — fault value: for F01061 it holds the Method ID, which the technician reads hexadecimal when reporting the fault.
Acknowledging and restarting
Acknowledge the fault immediately. The drive does not trigger any automatic shutdown for this message, and acknowledging only clears the message itself — the internal registration error is resolved through Technical Support.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F01061 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

| G130, G150 | NONE | IMMEDIATELY | Hardware/software error (1) | Control Unit (CU) | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1386 |

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F01061 mean on a SINAMICS drive?
It is an internal error of the Control Unit: an application that is not registered with TSM attempted to register with registerSlaves(), either because the TSM registration failed or because the registration sequence was wrong.
How do I fix fault F01061?
The manual gives only one remedy: contact Technical Support, since the message is marked as only for internal Siemens troubleshooting. Note the Method ID in r0949 (hexadecimal) beforehand.
What is the fault value of F01061?
The drive writes the Method ID into r0949, and the value is interpreted hexadecimal.
Does F01061 stop the drive?
No automatic reaction is triggered; the fault only needs to be acknowledged immediately. It points to an internal condition of the Control Unit rather than to the motor or power unit.
