What it means
The Control Unit has requested a function that a DRIVE-CLiQ component does not support. The drive stores a fault value in r0949 — to be interpreted as a decimal number — which identifies both the component involved (Motor Module, Sensor Module, Terminal Module TM15/TM31/TM41, power unit or Voltage Sensing Module) and the function that was refused. The manuals describe this fault identically for all converter families listed on this page, so one fault value list covers them all.
Why it appears
- A function requested by the Control Unit is not supported by a DRIVE-CLiQ component; the decimal fault value in r0949 shows which component and which function are affected.
- Several cases are firmware-related: the firmware of a Terminal Module 15 (TM15) does not support the application TM15DI/DO (fault value 204), or the firmware of the Terminal Modules TM41/TM31/TM15 refers to an old firmware version (fault value 206).
- Other cases are hardware or component limits, for example a power unit whose hardware version does not support operation with device supply voltages of less than 380 V (fault value 207), or a Sensor Module that does not support the selected temperature evaluation (r0458, r0459), single-track encoders, LVDT sensors or the selected characteristic type.
What to check
- Read the fault value in r0949 as a decimal number and find the affected component and function in the list below.
- Upgrade the firmware of the DRIVE-CLiQ component involved — this is the general remedy for this fault.
- Fault value 205, 214 or 215: check p0600 and p0601 and adapt them if required.
- Fault value 207: replace the power unit, or if required set the device supply voltage higher in p0210.
- Fault value 208: check p0430.23 and reset it if necessary.
- Fault value 216: check the setting of the sensor type in p3665 and use a Voltage Sensing Module that supports operation with PT1000 (MLFB ...-xxx1).
Reading the message value
The drive writes the fault value into r0949; interpret it as a decimal number:
- 1: The component does not support the deactivation.
- 101: The Motor Module does not support an internal armature short-circuit.
- 102: The Motor Module does not support the deactivation.
- 201: The Sensor Module does not support actual value inversion (p0410.0 = 1) when using a Hall sensor (p0404.6 = 1) for the commutation.
- 202: The Sensor Module does not support parking/unparking.
- 203: The Sensor Module does not support the deactivation.
- 204: The firmware of this Terminal Module 15 (TM15) does not support the application TM15DI/DO.
- 205: The Sensor Module does not support the selected temperature evaluation (r0458, r0459).
- 206: The firmware of this Terminal Modules TM41/TM31/TM15 refers to an old firmware version. It is urgently necessary to upgrade the firmware to ensure disturbance-free operation.
- 207: The power unit with this hardware version does not support operation with device supply voltages of less than 380 V.
- 208: The Sensor Module does not support de-selection of commutation with zero mark (via p0430.23).
- 211: The Sensor Module does not support single-track encoders (r0459.10).
- 212: The Sensor Module does not support LVDT sensors (p4677.0).
- 213: The Sensor Module does not support the characteristic type (p4662).
- 214: The power unit does not support the temperature evaluation via PT1000 (r0193).
- 215: The Terminal Module does not support the temperature evaluation via PT1000.
- 216: The Voltage Sensing Module (VSM) does not support operation with a PT1000 temperature sensor.
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 (fault value) — read here, as a decimal number, which component refused which function.
- p0600 (motor temperature sensor for monitoring) and p0601 (motor temperature sensor type) — check both and adapt if required for fault values 205, 214 and 215.
- p0210 (drive unit line supply voltage) — for fault value 207, set the device supply voltage higher here if required; otherwise replace the power unit.
- p0430 (Sensor Module configuration) — for fault value 208, check p0430.23 (commutation with zero mark) and reset it if necessary.
- p3665 (VSM temperature evaluation sensor type) — check the sensor type setting here for fault value 216.
Acknowledging and restarting
The drive coasts down (OFF2) and the fault must be acknowledged before the drive will start again. Once the firmware upgrade or the parameter correction for your fault value has been carried out, acknowledge the fault and restart the drive.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F01303 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | OFF2 | IMMEDIATELY | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2587 |
| G130, G150 | OFF2 | IMMEDIATELY | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1398 |

Questions technicians ask
What does SINAMICS fault F01303 mean?
A function requested by the Control Unit is not supported by a DRIVE-CLiQ component. The decimal fault value in r0949 tells you which component (Motor Module, Sensor Module, Terminal Module, power unit or VSM) refused which function.
How do I clear fault F01303?
Upgrade the firmware of the DRIVE-CLiQ component involved. Depending on the fault value you may also have to check p0600 and p0601, set p0210 higher, reset p0430.23 or check the sensor type in p3665.
What does fault value 207 of F01303 mean?
The power unit with this hardware version does not support operation with device supply voltages of less than 380 V. Replace the power unit or set the device supply voltage higher in p0210.
Why does F01303 demand a firmware upgrade for TM15, TM31 or TM41?
Fault value 206 means the firmware of these Terminal Modules refers to an old firmware version, and it is urgently necessary to upgrade it to ensure disturbance-free operation.
