What it means
F01683 is a Safety Integrated (SI) Motion message of processor 1 in the Control Unit (P1 (CU)). The drive raises it when a safety-relevant basic function is not enabled in p9501 although other safety-relevant monitoring functions are enabled. On the S120, S150, G130 and G150 the missing basic function is "SOS/SLS"; on the G120 the fault is printed as "SI Motion P1 (CU): SLS enable missing" and names the function "SLS". The abbreviations in the message stand for SI: Safety Integrated, SOS: Safe Operating Stop / SBH: Safe operating stop, and SLS: Safely-Limited Speed / SG: Safely reduced speed. The manuals note that this fault does not result in a safety stop response.
Why it appears
- The safety-relevant basic function "SOS/SLS" is not enabled in p9501 although other safety-relevant monitoring functions are enabled (S120, S150, G130, G150).
- On the G120 the cause is given for the single function: the safety-relevant function "SLS" is not enabled in p9501 although other safety-relevant monitoring functions are enabled.
What to check
- Enable the missing basic function by setting bit 0 of p9501: "SOS/SLS" (p9501.0) on the S120, S150, G130 and G150; "SLS" (p9501.0) on the G120.
- On the G120:
Save the changes before POWER ON (copy from RAM to ROM)
. - Carry out a POWER ON — this is the remedy the manuals print for the fault, and the drive restarts only after this POWER ON.
Parameters the manual names
- p9501 — SI Motion enable safety functions (Control Unit): its bit 0 (p9501.0) enables the SOS/SLS basic function (G120: SLS); setting it is the fix for F01683, followed by saving the change (G120) and a POWER ON.
Acknowledging and restarting
Acknowledgement is by POWER ON: after enabling p9501.0, switch the drive off and on again — on the G120 only after the changed safety setting has been copied from RAM to ROM. Without this POWER ON the fault remains, even though the function is now enabled in p9501.
What differs between the drive families
Straight from the manuals' own fields — F01683 is not described identically everywhere.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | OFF2 | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2666 |
| G130, G150 | OFF2 | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1455 |
| G120 | OFF2 | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | — | SINAMICS G120 · p. 849 |
The drives this code lives on
F01683 is described for G120, G130, G150, S120, S150. These are the converters of those families in our catalogue — price on request.
Questions technicians ask
What does fault F01683 on a SINAMICS drive mean?
It reports that the safety-relevant basic function SOS/SLS (on the G120: SLS) is not enabled in p9501 although other safety-relevant monitoring functions are enabled. The message comes from processor 1 of the Control Unit.
How do I clear F01683?
Enable the missing function with bit 0 of p9501 (p9501.0), on a G120 first save the change from RAM to ROM, then carry out a POWER ON. The drive accepts only this POWER ON as acknowledgement.
Does F01683 trigger a safety stop?
No. The manuals explicitly note that this fault does not result in a safety stop response.
Which parameter is behind F01683?
p9501 — SI Motion enable safety functions (Control Unit). Its bit 0 (p9501.0) enables SOS/SLS (G120: SLS) and must be set before the POWER ON.
