What it means
F01680 is raised by the safety monitoring channel in the Control Unit (SI Motion P1): the checksum that the drive calculates from the safety-relevant parameters and enters in r9728 does not match the reference checksum that was saved in p9729 at the last machine acceptance. The drive therefore treats the safety-relevant parameter set as changed or faulty. The manual notes that this fault results in a STOP A that can be acknowledged
.
Why it appears
- The checksum calculated by the drive from the safety-relevant parameters and entered in r9728 does not match the reference checksum saved in p9729 at the last machine acceptance.
- Safety-relevant parameters have been changed.
- A fault is present.
What to check
- Check the safety-relevant parameters and, if required, correct them.
- Execute the function "Copy RAM to ROM".
- Perform a POWER ON if safety parameters requiring a POWER ON have been modified.
- Carry out an acceptance test.
Reading the message value
- The drive enters the fault value in r0949; interpret the value as a decimal number.
- 0: Checksum error for SI parameters for motion monitoring.
- 1: Checksum error for SI parameters for actual values.
- 2: Checksum error for SI parameters for component assignment.
Parameters the manual names
- r9728 (SI Motion actual checksum SI parameters): contains the actual checksum that the drive calculates from the safety-relevant parameters; read it to compare against the reference checksum in p9729.
- p9729 (SI Motion reference checksum SI parameters): holds the reference checksum saved at the last machine acceptance; the fault is raised when r9728 no longer matches it.
- r0949 (fault value): read the decimal value here to identify which SI parameter group failed the checksum check (0, 1 or 2).
Acknowledging and restarting
The fault leads to a STOP A that can be acknowledged; the drive coasts down and must be acknowledged before it will start. The acknowledgement is immediate and takes effect via a POWER ON: after removing the cause — correcting the safety-relevant parameters if required and executing the function "Copy RAM to ROM" — switch the drive off and on again. A POWER ON is required in any case when safety parameters that require a POWER ON have been modified. Finally, carry out an acceptance test.
What differs between the drive families
Straight from the manuals' own fields — F01680 is not described identically everywhere.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | — | — | Safety monitoring channel has identified an error (10) | Control Unit (CU) | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2652 |
| G130, G150 | OFF2 | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Safety monitoring channel has identified an error (10) | Control Unit (CU) | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1450 |
| G120 | OFF2 | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Safety monitoring channel has identified an error (10) | — | SINAMICS G120 · p. 848 |

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F01680 mean on a SINAMICS drive?
The safety monitoring channel in the Control Unit (SI Motion P1) has found that the checksum calculated from the safety-relevant parameters (r9728) does not match the reference checksum saved in p9729 at the last machine acceptance — the parameters have been changed or a fault is present.
How do I clear and reset F01680?
Check and correct the safety-relevant parameters, execute the function "Copy RAM to ROM" and perform a POWER ON if safety parameters requiring a POWER ON have been modified. The fault results in a STOP A that can be acknowledged, and an acceptance test must be carried out.
What is the fault value of F01680 telling me?
Read r0949 and interpret it as a decimal number: 0 means a checksum error in the SI parameters for motion monitoring, 1 in the SI parameters for actual values and 2 in the SI parameters for component assignment.
Which parameters belong to F01680?
r9728 holds the actual checksum that the drive calculates from the safety-relevant parameters, p9729 holds the reference checksum from the last machine acceptance, and r0949 holds the fault value that identifies the affected parameter group.
