What it means
F07083 is raised when the drive is to execute a macro but cannot find the associated ACX file in the directory provided for it — the macro files are stored on the memory card. The fault value tells you which parameter started the macro execution. The manuals for G120, G120XA, G130, G150, S120 and S150 describe this fault identically.
Why it appears
- The ACX file (macro) that the drive is to execute is not present in the directory where the drive expects it.
What to check
- Read the fault value in r0949 as a decimal number — it contains the parameter number with which the macro execution was started.
- Check whether the ACX file is saved in the appropriate directory on the memory card.
- Compare the storage location with the macro setting:
If p0015 is set to 1501, then the selected ACX file must be located in the following directory: ... /PMACROS/DEVICE/P15/PM001501.ACX
Reading the message value
- r0949, interpreted as a decimal number, holds the parameter number with which the macro execution was started.
- The message value names this parameter.
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 (fault value) — read as a decimal number for this fault; it holds the parameter number with which the macro execution was started.
- p0015 (macro drive unit) — its setting determines which ACX file must be on the memory card; the manual pairs p0015 = 1501 with ... /PMACROS/DEVICE/P15/PM001501.ACX.
- p0700 (Macro Binector Input (BI)), p1000 (Macro Connector Inputs (CI) for speed setpoints) and p1500 (Macro Connector Inputs (CI) for torque setpoints) are the further macro parameters the manual cross-references for this fault.
Acknowledging and restarting
Once the ACX file is in the expected directory on the memory card, acknowledge the fault; the drive allows immediate acknowledgment, and the manual names no further restart steps for this fault.
What differs between the drive families
Straight from the manuals' own fields — F07083 is not described identically everywhere.

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F07083 mean on a SINAMICS drive?
The drive was to execute a macro and could not find the associated ACX file in the appropriate directory on the memory card. The fault value in r0949 shows the parameter number with which the execution was started.
How do I clear F07083?
Check that the ACX file is saved in the appropriate directory on the memory card — with p0015 set to 1501, for example, at ... /PMACROS/DEVICE/P15/PM001501.ACX — and then acknowledge the fault.
Where does the drive look for the ACX file?
The manual gives ... /PMACROS/DEVICE/P15/PM001501.ACX as the example for p0015 = 1501; the expected location follows the macro setting.
Which parameter does F07083 point to?
Read r0949 as a decimal number: it contains the parameter number with which the macro execution was started. The manual also cross-references the macro parameters p0015, p0700, p1000 and p1500.
