What it means
F06261 reports that the temperature monitoring of the infeed's line filter has responded and the temperature inside the line filter remained permanently above the permitted value. This monitoring exists only on an infeed equipped with an Active Interface Module (AIM). While the fault is active the infeed is switched off and does not return to operation until the fault has been cleared and acknowledged.
Why it appears
- The temperature monitoring of the line filter responded, and afterwards the temperature in the line filter stayed permanently above the permitted level.
- This temperature monitoring is only available for an Active Interface Module (AIM).
What to check
- Compare the line filter type set in p0220[0] with the line filter that is actually connected. Either connect the line filter specified for the infeed being used, or correct the setting of the line filter type in p0220[0].
- Temperature monitoring is mandatory for AIM line filters. Check that the temperature switch inside the line filter is wired securely and dependably to input X21 of the infeed.
- Lower the ambient temperature around the line filter.
- Lower the load on the infeed and on the line filter.
- Check the magnitude of the line supply voltage.
- The internal fan of the line filter may be defective — replace the fan if necessary.
- The temperature switch of the line filter may be defective — replace the line filter if necessary.
Parameters the manual names
- p0220[0] — holds the line filter type the infeed expects; for this fault, check that it matches the filter actually connected and correct the setting if the two differ.
Acknowledging and restarting
Remove the cause first, then acknowledge the fault at the operator panel or in the commissioning tool; only after acknowledgment can the infeed be switched on again. As long as the fault is present, the infeed stays out of operation.

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F06261 mean on a SINAMICS infeed?
The line filter's temperature monitoring has responded and the temperature in the line filter stayed permanently above the permitted value. The monitoring exists only for an Active Interface Module (AIM).
Where must the line filter temperature switch be connected?
For an AIM line filter the temperature switch must be connected correctly and reliably to input X21 of the infeed; this monitoring is mandatory for AIM line filters.
Why does F06261 keep coming back?
If the p0220[0] setting matches the connected filter, the ambient temperature and load have been reduced and the line supply voltage is correct, the filter's internal fan or its temperature switch may be defective; replace the fan or the line filter as necessary.
How is F06261 cleared and restarted?
Remedy the cause using the checks on this page, then acknowledge the fault at the operator panel or in the commissioning tool; the infeed can then be switched on again.
