What it means
F07085 is issued when the drive has had to change open-loop/closed-loop control parameters itself. This happens in one of four situations: values exceeded their dynamic limits as a result of other parameters; the hardware signalled that it does not have certain features, so the parameters cannot be used; a value had to be estimated because the thermal time constant is missing; or motor temperature model 1 was activated because thermal motor protection is missing.
The number of the parameter the drive changed is stored in the fault value: r0949, interpreted as a decimal number, and the message text displays it as Parameter: %1. The manual describes this message for S120/S150 and for G130/G150 with the same causes; its cross-reference list names p0640 (current limit), p1082 (maximum speed) and p1300 (open-loop/closed-loop control operating mode).
Why it appears
- The parameters exceeded their dynamic limits as a result of other parameters.
- The hardware has detected that it does not have certain features, so the parameters cannot be used.
- A value had to be estimated because the thermal time constant is missing.
- Motor temperature model 1 was activated because thermal motor protection is missing.
What to check
- Read the fault value in r0949 as a decimal number — it is the number of the parameter that the drive changed (the message text shows it as Parameter: %1).
- Match the number against the decoding below to see which automatic adjustment took place.
- Do not re-enter or correct the parameters: per the manual, they have already been correctly limited.
Reading the message value
The drive puts the number of the changed parameter into the fault value; r0949 shows it interpreted as a decimal number.
- 340 — the drive automatically calculated the motor and control parameters (p0340 = 1) because vector control was subsequently activated as configuration (r0108.2).
- 611 — the time constant for thermal motor model 1 was estimated.
- 612 — thermal motor model 1 was activated (p0612.0 = 1).
- 1800 — a more favorable pulse frequency was preassigned (this case is listed only in the S120/S150 description).
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 — read the fault value here as a decimal number; it contains the number of the parameter that the drive changed.
- p0340 — with fault value 340, this is the automatic motor and control parameter calculation the drive ran (p0340 = 1) after vector control was activated as configuration.
- r0108 — r0108.2 shows vector control active as configuration, the condition behind fault value 340.
- p0612 — with fault value 612, the drive itself set p0612.0 = 1 to activate thermal motor model 1; fault value 611 concerns the estimation of this model's thermal time constant.
- p1800 — with fault value 1800, the drive has preassigned a more favorable pulse frequency here; the manual's cross-reference list calls p1800 the pulse frequency setpoint.
Acknowledging and restarting
The drive does not trip on this message — no protective shutdown is triggered — and no parameter changes are needed on your side: Not necessary. It is not necessary to change the parameters as they have already been correctly limited.
Once you have noted which parameter was changed, acknowledge the fault immediately; the acknowledgment requires a POWER ON.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F07085 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | NONE | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2783 |
| G130, G150 | NONE | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1537 |

Questions technicians ask
What does SINAMICS fault F07085 mean?
The drive has had to change one or more open-loop/closed-loop control parameters itself, for example because values exceeded their dynamic limits or the hardware does not provide certain features. The number of the changed parameter is stored in r0949, interpreted as a decimal number.
Do I need to change anything after F07085?
No. The manual's remedy is that no change is necessary because the parameters have already been correctly limited. Identify the parameter via r0949 and acknowledge the fault; the acknowledgment requires a POWER ON.
What does fault value 340 in r0949 mean for F07085?
It means the motor and control parameters were automatically calculated (p0340 = 1) because vector control was subsequently activated as configuration (r0108.2).
Why was thermal motor model 1 activated (fault value 612)?
The drive activated thermal motor model 1 itself (p0612.0 = 1) because thermal motor protection was missing. Fault value 611 reports that the missing thermal time constant for this model was estimated.
