F01694 — SI Motion CU: Firmware version Motor Module/Hydraulic Module older Control Unit

F01694 belongs to the SI Motion safety motion monitoring: the drive raises it because the firmware version of the Motor Module/Hydraulic Module is older than the firmware version of the Control Unit. In this state it is possible that safety functions are not available — the drive shows this in r9771 (Control Unit) and r9871 (Motor Module). The message itself does not result in a safety stop response. Depending on the drive configuration, the same condition can also be output as an alarm (A); as an alarm it triggers no reaction and requires no acknowledgement. The message can also occur when, after an automatic firmware update, a POWER ON was not carried out — the manual points to Alarm A01007 in this context.

• The firmware version of the Motor Module/Hydraulic Module is older than the version of the Control Unit, so it is possible that safety functions are not available (visible in r9771/r9871).
• An automatic firmware update was carried out and the POWER ON that should follow it was not performed; the manual associates this situation with Alarm A01007.

1. Check whether an automatic firmware update has just taken place and the subsequent POWER ON was omitted (Alarm A01007). If so, switch the power supply off and on again first and see whether the message clears.
2. Compare the firmware levels: read the SI Motion version of the safety motion monitoring in the Control Unit (r9590) and in the Motor Module (r9390).
3. Check r9771 and r9871 to establish whether the safety functions are currently available.
4. Upgrade the firmware of the Motor Module/Hydraulic Module to a later version — the remedy the manuals give — and then acknowledge the fault as described below.

• r9390 — SI Motion version of the safety motion monitoring in the Motor Module; read it to compare the Motor Module's firmware level with the Control Unit's.
• r9590 — SI Motion version of the safety motion monitoring in the Control Unit; compare it against r9390.
• r9771 — SI common functions in the Control Unit; the manual points here to show that safety functions may be unavailable.
• r9871 — SI common functions in the Motor Module; read it together with r9771.

Acknowledge the fault immediately or by means of a POWER ON — switching the power supply off and on again; the drive only restarts once the fault has been acknowledged. If the message arose because the POWER ON after an automatic firmware update was missed (Alarm A01007), carry out that POWER ON.
