F07312Bypass LSS:

What it means

F07312 is raised by the bypass function when the feedback signals of the Line Side Switch (LSS) are not plausible. After every switching operation the function waits for the positive feedback signal from the switch; if the feedback is missing, arrives later than the specified time, or contradicts the requested bypass state, the drive trips and coasts down. The message value carries the fault cause as a binary bit pattern in r0949, so you can read exactly which of the four monitored conditions tripped the drive.

Why it appears

  • The Line Side Switch does not return a plausible feedback signal — the expected "Closed" or "Open" feedback is missing.
  • The switch feedback signal is too slow: after switching, the function waits for the positive feedback signal and shuts down when the signal arrives after the specified time has elapsed.
  • The Line Side Switch feedback signal is not consistent with the bypass state: when switching on or when switching the motor in (staging), the line side switch closed without the bypass having requested this.

What to check

  1. Read the binary fault value in r0949 to see which condition tripped the drive (bit 1, 2, 3 or 6).
  2. Check the transfer of the feedback signals — the sources of the bypass switch feedback signal are configured in p1269, and for bit 3 compare the actual feedback time with the monitoring time in p1274.
  3. Check the switch itself.

Reading the message value

The drive stores the fault cause in r0949 as a binary value ("Fault cause: %1 bin"). The bits have the following meaning:

  • Bit 1: Switch "Closed" feedback signal missing.
  • Bit 2: Switch "Open" feedback signal missing.
  • Bit 3: Switch feedback signal too slow. After switching, the system waits for the positive feedback signal. If the feedback signal is received later than the specified time, then a fault trip (shutdown) is issued.
  • Bit 6: Line Side Switch feedback signal not consistent with the bypass state — when switching-on or when switching-in (staging) the motor, the line side switch is closed without this having been requested from the bypass.

Parameters the manual names

  • r0949 — fault value: holds the fault cause of this trip as a binary bit pattern (bits 1, 2, 3 and 6, see the decoding above).
  • p1260 — bypass configuration: the configuration of the bypass function whose Line Side Switch is monitored here.
  • p1266 — BI: bypass control command: the command with which the bypass function is operated.
  • p1267 — bypass changeover source configuration: sets the source that triggers the bypass changeover.
  • p1269 — BI: bypass switch feedback signal: the signal source of the switch feedback that you check for this fault.
  • p1274 — bypass switch monitoring time: the "specified time" within which the positive feedback signal must arrive after a switching operation (bit 3).

Acknowledging and restarting

The drive coasts down (OFF2 reaction) and must be acknowledged before it will start again. The acknowledgment class is IMMEDIATELY, i.e. the fault can be acknowledged directly after the trip. Once acknowledged and the feedback problem corrected, the drive can be restarted.

What differs between the drive families

Straight from the manuals' own fields — F07312 is not described identically everywhere.

Questions technicians ask

What does SINAMICS fault F07312 mean?

The bypass function received a Line Side Switch feedback signal that is not plausible: the "Closed" or "Open" feedback is missing, the feedback came later than the specified time, or it does not match the bypass state.

How do I fix fault F07312?

The manual's remedy is to check the transfer of the feedback signals and to check the switch. The binary value in r0949 tells you which condition tripped the drive (bits 1, 2, 3 or 6).

What is the fault value of F07312 in r0949?

Interpret r0949 bitwise: bit 1 means the switch "Closed" feedback is missing, bit 2 the "Open" feedback, bit 3 that the feedback was too slow, and bit 6 that the feedback contradicts the bypass state.

Can F07312 be acknowledged immediately?

Yes — the manuals specify IMMEDIATELY acknowledgment. The drive coasts down with the OFF2 reaction and can be restarted once the fault has been acknowledged.
