What it means
F05061 ("Infeed VSM count") is raised when the number of active Voltage Sensing Modules (VSM) assigned to the drive object of an infeed with chassis power units is not correct. The component named for this fault is the Voltage Sensing Module (VSM). The fault value in r0949 shows how many VSMs the drive currently has assigned to the drive object, so the count can be compared directly with the actual configuration.
Why it appears
- The number of active Voltage Sensing Modules (VSM) for the drive object infeed with chassis power units is not correct.
- For an A_Infeed, each active power unit must be assigned an active VSM — this also applies in a parallel circuit configuration.
- For an S_Infeed, the active drive object must be assigned at least one active VSM.
What to check
- Read the fault value in r0949, interpreting it as a decimal number: it is the number of VSMs currently assigned to the drive object.
- Compare this count with the required assignment — for an A_Infeed, an active VSM for each active power unit (also in a parallel circuit configuration); for an S_Infeed, at least one active VSM on the active drive object.
- Adapt the number of active Voltage Sensing Modules (VSM) so that the assignment matches.
Reading the message value
- The message value is shown as %1; the same fault value is stored in r0949 and is to be interpreted as a decimal number.
- Value: the number of VSMs that are currently assigned to the drive object. The manuals print no bit decoding for this value.
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 — fault value: read it as a decimal number to see how many VSMs are currently assigned to the drive object.
Acknowledging and restarting
There is no separate reset sequence: adapt the number of active VSMs first, then acknowledge the fault — the acknowledgment takes effect immediately. No further restart steps are described for this fault.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F05061 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F05061 Infeed VSM count mean?
The number of active Voltage Sensing Modules (VSM) assigned to the infeed drive object with chassis power units is not correct. The fault value in r0949 shows how many VSMs are currently assigned.
How do I clear fault F05061?
Adapt the number of active VSMs so the assignment is correct — for an A_Infeed, an active VSM for each active power unit (also in a parallel circuit); for an S_Infeed, at least one active VSM on the active drive object. Then acknowledge the fault; the acknowledgment takes effect immediately.
Where can I read the assigned VSM count for F05061?
In the fault value r0949, interpreted as a decimal number — it holds the number of VSMs currently assigned to the drive object.
