What it means
F07333 is raised because a closed-loop control function that is not supported has been activated. The fault value stored in r0949, read as a decimal number, identifies the unsupported function. Only the value 0 is defined for this fault: open-loop controlled operation — the open-loop mode that applies at speeds below p1755 — is not available in the "encoderless torque" control mode (see p1300, p1501).
Why it appears
- A closed-loop control function that is not supported was activated.
- Fault value 0: open-loop controlled operation (open-loop mode for speeds below p1755) is not supported in the "encoderless torque" control mode (see p1300, p1501).
What to check
- Read the fault value from r0949 as a decimal number; the measures below apply to fault value = 0.
- If encoderless operation is to be kept, either change the control mode to "Encoderless speed control" by setting p1300 = 20 and p1501 = 0, or keep torque control going.
- To continue with torque control, activate encoderless operation — including zero frequency — with test pulses by setting p1750.5 = 1. This option exists only on SINAMICS S120 and requires licensing.
Reading the message value
- The drive stores the fault value in r0949; interpret the value as a decimal number.
- 0: open-loop controlled operation (open-loop mode for speeds below p1755) is not supported in the "encoderless torque" control mode (see p1300, p1501).
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 — fault value; read it as a decimal number to identify which unsupported function the drive has detected (here: 0).
- p1300 — open-loop/closed-loop control operating mode; set it to 20 to change over to "Encoderless speed control".
- p1501 — BI: changeover between closed-loop speed/torque control; set it to 0 together with p1300 = 20.
- p1750 — motor model configuration; set p1750.5 = 1 to activate encoderless operation including zero frequency with test pulses.
- p1755 — motor model changeover speed for encoderless operation; the speed threshold below which the unsupported open-loop mode would apply.
Acknowledging and restarting
When this fault trips, the drive coasts down and cannot run again until the fault has been acknowledged. Remove the unsupported control function first (see the checks above); the fault must then be acknowledged immediately, after which the drive can be restarted.

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F07333 mean in SINAMICS?
The drive has activated a closed-loop control function that it does not support. With fault value 0, open-loop controlled operation (speeds below p1755) has been requested in the "encoderless torque" control mode, which is not supported.
How do I clear F07333?
Either switch the control mode to "Encoderless speed control" by setting p1300 = 20 and p1501 = 0, or, to keep torque control, set p1750.5 = 1 to activate encoderless operation including zero frequency with test pulses (SINAMICS S120 only, licensing required). Then acknowledge the fault and restart.
Where do I read the fault value for F07333?
In r0949, interpreted as a decimal number. Value 0 identifies the unsupported open-loop mode in the "encoderless torque" control mode.
Can I keep torque control when F07333 appears?
Yes, on SINAMICS S120 with the appropriate licensing: setting p1750.5 = 1 activates encoderless operation including zero frequency with test pulses, so torque control can continue.
