What it means
The drive monitors the time in which configuration data must be transferred between the drive and the higher-level control system. F01914 (COMM INT: Monitoring time configuration expired) is raised when this monitoring time expires — the send or the receive configuration data did not arrive within its allowed transfer time. The fault value stored in r0949 tells you which direction was too slow. Depending on how the drive is configured, the same condition can also be signalled as an alarm (A) or without any reaction (N); in both variants the drive triggers no automatic response and no acknowledgement is required.
Why it appears
- The monitoring time for the configuration has expired. Whether the send or the receive direction was too slow is shown by the fault value.
What to check
- Acknowledge the faults that are present.
- Carry out a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on) for all components.
- Upgrade the firmware to a later version.
- If the condition persists, contact Technical Support.
Reading the message value
- The drive stores the fault value in r0949; interpret it as a decimal number.
- 0: The transfer time of the send configuration data has been exceeded.
- 1: The transfer time of the receive configuration data has been exceeded.
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 — read the fault value here (interpret it as a decimal number) to see whether the send or the receive configuration data exceeded its transfer time.
Acknowledging and restarting
Acknowledge the faults that are present and then carry out a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on) for all components. If the drive signals this condition as an alarm (A) or without any reaction (N), it triggers no automatic response and the message does not need to be acknowledged.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F01914 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | Infeed: NONE (OFF1, OFF2) Servo: NONE (OFF1, OFF2, OFF3) Vector: NONE (OFF1, OFF2, OFF3) Hla: NONE (OFF1, OFF2, OFF3) | IMMEDIATELY | Communication error to the higher-level control system (9) | None | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2714 |

Questions technicians ask
What does SINAMICS fault F01914 mean?
The monitoring time for the configuration has expired: the send or the receive configuration data between the drive and the higher-level control system took longer than the allowed transfer time.
How do I clear F01914?
Acknowledge the faults that are present and carry out a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on) for all components. If the condition comes back, upgrade the firmware to a later version and, if necessary, contact Technical Support.
What is the fault value of F01914?
Read r0949 and interpret it as a decimal number: 0 means the transfer time of the send configuration data was exceeded, 1 means the transfer time of the receive configuration data was exceeded.
Can F01914 also appear as an alarm?
Yes — depending on the drive configuration, the same condition can also be signalled as an alarm (A) or without any reaction (N). In both cases no automatic response is triggered and no acknowledgement is required.
