F06503Infeed: Line black start unsuccessful

What it means

F06503 reports that the line black start of the infeed was unsuccessful. The message value of the fault contains the state the black start had reached; this state corresponds to r5482, the line synchronization status. The fault value in r0949 tells which of the two possible situations occurred: either a line supply was already identified when the black start began (fault value 109), or the black start did not finish within the maximum time p5581[2]. In the default setting the drive is stopped (OFF1) when this fault occurs.

Why it appears

  • The line black start the infeed attempted did not succeed.
  • With fault value 109 in r0949: at the start of the black start (p5581 = 1), a line supply was identified — the frequency and voltage were within the limits specified in p0281 to p0285.
  • With every other fault value: the maximum time for a black start (p5581[2]) was exceeded.

What to check

  1. Read the fault value in r0949 to determine which situation applies: 109 — a line supply was identified at the start of the black start; any other value — the maximum time p5581[2] was exceeded. The message value shows the corresponding black-start state, which corresponds to r5482.
  2. Check the conditions of a line black start.
  3. Check the parameterization of the line black start; the manual points to p5581 (Island grid times), the parameter that holds the black-start times including the maximum time p5581[2].

Reading the message value

  • The drive enters the state of the black start into the message value; the state corresponds to r5482 (CO: Line synchronization status).
  • 109 — at the start of the black start (p5581 = 1) a line supply was identified: frequency and voltage were within the specified limits p0281 to p0285.
  • Any other value — the maximum time for a black start (p5581[2]) was exceeded.

Parameters the manual names

  • r5482 (CO: Line synchronization status) — the message value of F06503 corresponds to this status; read it to see the line synchronization state at the moment of the fault.
  • r0949 (Fault value) — holds the fault value that separates the two causes of this code: 109 versus any other value.
  • p5581 (Island grid times) — the parameterization of the line black start: the start of a black start corresponds to p5581 = 1, and p5581[2] sets the maximum time a black start may take.
  • p0281 (Line supply overvoltage alarm threshold) — with p0285 it spans the limits p0281 to p0285 within which frequency and voltage must lie for a line supply to be identified at the start of a black start.
  • p0285 (Line supply frequency undershot alarm threshold) — the frequency limit that completes the p0281 to p0285 window used to identify a line supply at the start of a black start.

Questions technicians ask

What does fault F06503 in SINAMICS mean?

It reports that the line black start of the infeed was unsuccessful. The fault value in r0949 distinguishes the two situations: a line supply was identified when the black start started (value 109), or the maximum black-start time p5581[2] was exceeded.

What does fault value 109 of F06503 mean?

Fault value 109 means that at the start of the black start (p5581 = 1) a line supply was identified, i.e. frequency and voltage were within the limits p0281 to p0285. Any other fault value means the maximum time for the black start (p5581[2]) was exceeded.

How do I fix fault F06503?

Check the conditions of a line black start and then check its parameterization. For the parameterization the manual refers to p5581 (Island grid times), which holds the black-start times including the maximum time p5581[2].

Where is the maximum time for the infeed black start set?

In p5581[2] (Island grid times). If the black start exceeds this time, the infeed raises F06503 with a fault value other than 109.
