F01641SI P1 (CU): component replacement identified and save required

What it means

The Control Unit (CU) raises F01641 when the drive's integrated "Safety Integrated" (SI) function identifies that a component has been replaced. The manual titles the message "SI P1 (CU): component replacement identified and save required". No additional fault response is initiated, so operation of the drive is not restricted — the message registers the replacement and demands two follow-up actions: the parameters must be saved and, when safety functions are active, a partial acceptance test must be carried out. Depending on the drive's configuration, the same condition can also be output as an alarm or as a message without any reaction.

Why it appears

  • "Safety Integrated" has identified that a component has been replaced; the fault value in r0949 names the component concerned (Control Unit, Motor Module/Hydraulic Module, Power Module, Sensor Module channel 1 or 2, sensor channel 1 or 2).
  • For the TM54F_MA drive object the cause is stated more specifically: "Safety Integrated" has identified that a Terminal Module 54F (TM54F) has been replaced; here the manual gives no fault value decoding.

What to check

  1. Save all parameters: set p0977 = 1 or p0971 = 1, or perform a "copy RAM to ROM".
  2. Acknowledge the fault, e.g. via the binector input (BI) p2103.
  3. When safety functions are active, after a component has been replaced it is necessary to carry out a partial acceptance test.

Reading the message value

The drive stores the fault cause in r0949; interpret the value as a binary pattern in which each set bit names one replaced component:

  • Bit 0 = 1: It has been identified that the Control Unit has been replaced.
  • Bit 1 = 1: It has been identified that the Motor Module/Hydraulic Module has been replaced.
  • Bit 2 = 1: It has been identified that the Power Module has been replaced.
  • Bit 3 = 1: It has been identified that the Sensor Module channel 1 has been replaced.
  • Bit 4 = 1: It has been identified that the Sensor Module channel 2 has been replaced.
  • Bit 5 = 1: It has been identified that the sensor channel 1 has been replaced.
  • Bit 6 = 1: It has been identified that the sensor channel 2 has been replaced.

For the TM54F_MA drive object no fault value is given; the cause (a replaced Terminal Module 54F) is stated directly.

Parameters the manual names

  • r0949 — fault value: read it as a binary pattern to see which component Safety Integrated has identified as replaced.
  • p0977 — set to 1 to save all parameters after the component replacement.
  • p0971 — set to 1 to save the drive object (DO) parameters; an alternative to p0977.
  • p2103 — binector input (BI) for acknowledging faults; the remedy names it as the example for acknowledging F01641.
  • r9776 — SI diagnostics, where the manual points for further Safety Integrated diagnostics.

Acknowledging and restarting

No special restart is needed: because no additional fault response is initiated, the drive continues to operate. Save the parameters first (p0977 = 1 or p0971 = 1 or "copy RAM to ROM"), then acknowledge the fault — for example via the binector input (BI) p2103. If safety functions are active, complete the partial acceptance test that is required after a component replacement.

What differs between the drive families

Straight from the manuals' own fields — F01641 is not described identically everywhere.

Questions technicians ask

What does F01641 mean on a SINAMICS drive?

Safety Integrated has identified that a component — the Control Unit, the Motor Module/Hydraulic Module, the Power Module, a Sensor Module channel, a sensor channel or a Terminal Module 54F — has been replaced. No fault response is triggered and operation of the drive is not restricted.

How do I clear F01641?

Save all parameters (p0977 = 1 or p0971 = 1 or "copy RAM to ROM") and then acknowledge the fault, e.g. via the binector input p2103.

Which replaced component does F01641 report?

Read the fault value in r0949 as binary: bit 0 = Control Unit, bit 1 = Motor Module/Hydraulic Module, bit 2 = Power Module, bits 3 and 4 = Sensor Module channels 1 and 2, bits 5 and 6 = sensor channels 1 and 2. For the TM54F_MA drive object the cause is a replaced Terminal Module 54F.

Is an acceptance test required after F01641?

Yes, when safety functions are active: after a component has been replaced, a partial acceptance test must be carried out.
