What it means
F06700 is signalled by the infeed when an ON command would require the line contactor to be switched under load — in other words, while the DC link is loaded. The drive switches off (OFF2) and the fault must be acknowledged before it will start again. Depending on how the drive is configured, the same condition can also be issued as an alarm instead of a fault.
Why it appears
- An ON command was issued in a situation in which the infeed line contactor would have to be switched under load.
- The DC link is loaded before the infeed has issued its operating signal (r0863.0 = 1).
What to check
- Do not load the DC link as long as the infeed has not issued its operating signal (r0863.0 = 1).
- After the infeed has been switched off, switch off all power units connected to the DC link as well; interconnect the operating signal of the infeed (r0863.0) so that this happens.
Acknowledging and restarting
Once the cause has been removed, acknowledge the fault — this can be done right away — and then start the drive again with a new ON command.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F06700 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

Questions technicians ask
What does SINAMICS fault F06700 mean?
The infeed raises F06700 when an ON command would require the line contactor to be switched under load, i.e. while the DC link is loaded. Depending on the drive configuration, the same condition can also be signalled as an alarm.
How do I clear fault F06700?
Do not load the DC link until the infeed has issued its operating signal (r0863.0 = 1), and after the infeed switches off, switch off all power units connected to the DC link. The infeed operating signal r0863.0 must be suitably interconnected for this. Then acknowledge the fault and start the drive again.
What is r0863.0 in fault F06700?
It is the operating signal of the infeed. For F06700 the DC link may only be loaded once it is 1, and it must be interconnected so that the power units connected to the DC link switch off when the infeed switches off.
Can F06700 be acknowledged?
Yes — once the cause has been removed, the fault can be acknowledged right away, and the drive is then started again with a new ON command.
