What it means
F06100 is issued by the infeed when the filtered (steady-state) value of the line supply voltage falls below the fault threshold. The trip condition is Vrms < p0283 * p0210: the actual steady-state line voltage is lower than the undervoltage trip threshold p0283 multiplied by the set line supply voltage p0210.
The trip is not immediate — the occurrence of this fault is delayed by the time in p3492. If the fault is removed during this design time, the power unit is not tripped (shut down).
Why it appears
- The filtered (steady-state) line supply voltage has dropped below the fault threshold (p0283) — the measured steady-state line voltage (Vrms) is smaller than p0283 * p0210.
What to check
- Check the line supply.
- Check the line supply voltage (p0210).
- Check the threshold value (p0283).
Reading the message value
- The fault value in r0949 is written as a floating-point number and contains the actual steady-state line supply voltage — the value that fell below the trip threshold. No bit decoding is given for this fault.
Parameters the manual names
- p0283 (Line supply undervoltage shutdown (trip) threshold) — the threshold factor for this fault; check this setting when F06100 occurs.
- p0210 (Drive unit line supply voltage) — the set line supply voltage that the threshold p0283 is multiplied by; check that it matches the actual supply.
- p3492 (Infeed, line supply undervoltage delay time) — delays the occurrence of this fault; an undervoltage removed within this time does not trip the power unit.
- r0949 (Fault value) — holds the actual steady-state line supply voltage (floating point) for this fault.
Acknowledging and restarting
The drive reacts with OFF2 and coasts down. Restore the line supply and acknowledge the fault immediately; switching the drive off and on again (POWER ON) also clears it. A restart is only possible once the fault has been acknowledged and the steady-state line voltage is again above the trip threshold p0283 * p0210.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F06100 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

| G130, G150 | OFF2 (OFF1) | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Network fault (2) | None | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1527 |

Questions technicians ask
What does SINAMICS fault F06100 mean?
The infeed has shut down because the filtered (steady-state) line supply voltage fell below the undervoltage trip threshold — the condition is Vrms < p0283 * p0210. The trip is delayed by the time in p3492.
How do I clear fault F06100?
Restore the line supply and acknowledge the fault immediately; switching the drive off and on again (POWER ON) also clears it. After acknowledgement the drive can be restarted.
Why does F06100 trip although the line supply looks normal?
Then the set line supply voltage p0210 or the threshold p0283 does not match the actual supply. The manual's remedy is to check the line supply, the voltage setting in p0210 and the threshold value in p0283.
What is stored in r0949 for F06100?
The actual steady-state line supply voltage as a floating-point value, i.e. the voltage that was below the trip threshold when the infeed shut down.
