What it means
F01063 is raised by the Control Unit (CU) when an internal software error occurs in the PDM. The fault value stored in r0949 identifies the Method ID at which the error was detected. The manuals describe this fault for the Control Unit in the same way wherever it is listed, and note that the message exists Only for internal Siemens troubleshooting
.
Why it appears
- An internal software error has occurred in the Control Unit.
What to check
- Read the fault value in r0949 — interpreted hexadecimal, it holds the Method ID of the internal error.
- Contact Technical Support; the manual notes the message is meant only for internal Siemens troubleshooting, and no further remedy is described.
Reading the message value
- The drive writes the Method ID of the internal error into the fault value r0949; the value is interpreted hexadecimal.
- No bit-by-bit decoding is given — the identifier is destined for Siemens-internal analysis and has no decoding for the user.
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 — fault value: read the hexadecimal Method ID here; it is the information Technical Support needs to analyze this fault.
Acknowledging and restarting
The drive takes no automatic reaction to this fault, and the message must be acknowledged immediately. No further restart procedure is described: the error can only be analyzed internally by Siemens, so contacting Technical Support with the Method ID from r0949 is the complete remedy.
