F01663SI P1 (CU): Copying the SI parameters rejected

What it means

F01663 reports that the Control Unit refused to copy the SI parameters of monitoring channel 1 into monitoring channel 2 — on the G120 the manual words this as a copy from processor 1 to processor 2 that is not possible. The trigger sits in p9700: it holds the value 87 or 208, either saved in the drive or entered offline, so the copy is attempted when booting. Because no safety-relevant function is selected in channel 1 (p9501 = 0, p9601 = 0), the copy is rejected for safety reasons.

Why it appears

  • p9700 holds 87 or 208 — the value was saved in the drive or entered offline — so at boot the drive tries to copy the SI parameters from monitoring channel 1 to monitoring channel 2.
  • No safety-relevant function is selected in monitoring channel 1: p9501 = 0 and p9601 = 0.
  • The copy is therefore rejected for safety reasons; the G120 manual states in this situation that copying is not possible.
  • The rejected copy can leave both monitoring channels inconsistently parameterized, which produces further error messages. In particular, with p9601 = 0 while p9801 <> 0 — the safety functions enabled inconsistently on the two channels — fault F30625 is output.
  • The manual notes that this fault does not result in a safety stop response.

What to check

  1. Set p9700 to 0.
  2. Check p9501 and p9601 and correct them if required.
  3. Restart the copy function by entering the corresponding value into p9700.
  4. Alternatively, work in the STARTER tool in online mode: open the "Safety Integrated" screen form, in which "Select safety functions" is set to "No Safety Integrated"; click on "Change settings" and then on "Activate settings" — Safety Integrated is thereby inhibited on both monitoring channels.
  5. Save all parameters (p0977 = 1 or "copy RAM to ROM").
  6. Carry out a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on) for all components.

Parameters the manual names

  • p9700 — the SI copy function (SI Motion copy function). Put 0 here to clear the rejected request; once p9501 and p9601 are corrected, re-enter the copy value to start the transfer again.
  • p9501 — the enable of the safety functions of monitoring channel 1 on the Control Unit; a 0 here is precisely what blocks the copy, so check it first.
  • p9601 — the enable of the drive-integrated safety functions on the Control Unit; verify it together with p9501, and note that p9601 = 0 with p9801 <> 0 is the combination behind F30625.
  • p9801 — the enable of the drive-integrated safety functions on the Motor Module; the manual names it only as the counterpart of p9601 in the F30625 condition.
  • p0977 — saves all parameters; after the STARTER route set it to 1 (or use "copy RAM to ROM") so the corrected state survives the POWER ON.

Acknowledging and restarting

A simple acknowledgment is not enough here: the fault only goes away through a POWER ON, i.e. switching off and back on, which the chassis-drive manual extends to all components. So after correcting p9700, p9501 and p9601 — and saving via p0977 if you used the STARTER route — power the components down and up again.

What differs between the drive families

Straight from the manuals' own fields — F01663 is not described identically everywhere.

Questions technicians ask

What does fault F01663 mean in SINAMICS?

The drive rejected the copy of the Safety Integrated parameters from monitoring channel 1 to monitoring channel 2, because no safety-relevant function is selected in channel 1 (p9501 = 0, p9601 = 0).

Why does F01663 appear after loading a project?

p9700 holds the value 87 or 208, saved or entered offline, so at boot the drive starts the SI copy and rejects it as long as channel 1 has no safety function selected.

How do I fix fault F01663?

Set p9700 to 0, check and if needed correct p9501 and p9601, then restart the copy by entering the value into p9700 again; the STARTER route ending with p0977 = 1 and a POWER ON is an alternative.

Does F01663 cause a safety stop?

No — the manual states explicitly that this fault does not result in a safety stop response.
