What it means
F07414 reports that the serial number of the motor encoder of a synchronous motor has changed. The drive only runs this check for encoders that supply a serial number (e.g. EnDat encoders) on built-in motors (e.g. p0300 = 401) or third-party motors (p0300 = 2). The same condition can also be output as an alarm (A) or as an N message without reaction, depending on how the message is configured in the drive.
The check is tied to the adjustment of the absolute encoder with closed-loop position control: while the adjustment is starting (p2507 = 2) the serial number is accepted, and once the encoder is adjusted (p2507 = 3) it is checked for changes — if it has changed, the adjustment is reset (p2507 = 1).
Why it appears
- The serial number of the motor encoder of a synchronous motor has changed; the drive checks this only for encoders with a serial number (e.g. EnDat encoders) on built-in motors (e.g. p0300 = 401) or third-party motors (p0300 = 2).
- Cause 1: the encoder was replaced.
- Cause 2: a third-party, built-in or linear motor was re-commissioned.
- Cause 3: the motor with an integrated and adjusted encoder was replaced.
- Cause 4: the firmware was updated to a version that checks the encoder serial number.
What to check
- Work out which cause applies: a replaced encoder, a re-commissioned third-party, built-in or linear motor, a replaced motor with an integrated and adjusted encoder, or a firmware update to a version that checks the encoder serial number.
- For causes 1 and 2: acknowledge the fault and carry out an automatic adjustment using the pole position identification routine. Initiate the routine with p1990 = 1 and then check that the pole position identification routine is correctly executed. For the SERVO drive object, p1990 is activated automatically if a pole position identification technique is selected in p1980 and p0301 does not contain a motor type with an encoder adjusted in the factory.
- Alternatively, set the adjustment via p0431 — in this case the new serial number is accepted automatically.
- Alternatively, mechanically adjust the encoder and accept the new serial number with p0440 = 1.
- For causes 3 and 4: accept the new serial number with p0440 = 1.
- To hide serial number monitoring instead: set p0441 = FF and p0442 = 0, p0443 = 0, p0444 = 0, p0445 = 0 for the corresponding Encoder Data Set, and parameterize F07414 as message type N via p2118 and p2119.
Parameters the manual names
- p0300 — motor type selection: the serial number check applies to built-in motors (e.g. p0300 = 401) and third-party motors (p0300 = 2).
- p2507 — LR absolute encoder adjustment status: shows where the adjustment stands — starting (p2507 = 2, serial number accepted), adjusted (p2507 = 3, serial number checked) or reset (p2507 = 1) after a change.
- p1990 — set p1990 = 1 to initiate the pole position identification routine for the automatic adjustment (causes 1 and 2).
- p1980 — PolID technique: on a SERVO drive object, p1990 is activated automatically when a technique is selected here and p0301 has no motor type with a factory-adjusted encoder.
- p0301 — motor code number selection: on a SERVO drive object, check whether it contains a motor type with an encoder adjusted in the factory, because this decides whether p1990 starts automatically.
- p0431 — angular commutation offset: setting the adjustment via p0431 automatically accepts the new serial number.
- p0440 — copy encoder serial number: set p0440 = 1 to accept the new serial number (after mechanical adjustment, or for causes 3 and 4).
- p0441 — encoder commissioning serial number part 1: set to FF, together with p0442 to p0445 = 0, to hide serial number monitoring.
- p0442 — encoder commissioning serial number part 2: set to 0 when hiding serial number monitoring.
- p0443 — encoder commissioning serial number part 3: set to 0 when hiding serial number monitoring.
- p0444 — encoder commissioning serial number part 4: set to 0 when hiding serial number monitoring.
- p0445 — encoder commissioning serial number part 5: set to 0 when hiding serial number monitoring.
- p2118 — change message type message number: enter the number F07414 here when re-parameterizing the message.
- p2119 — change message type type: set message type N here for the message number entered in p2118.
Acknowledging and restarting
For causes 1 and 2 the remedy begins with acknowledging the fault, after which the pole position identification routine is initiated with p1990 = 1; for causes 3 and 4 the new serial number is accepted with p0440 = 1. When the condition is configured as an alarm (A) or as an N message, the manual specifies no reaction and no acknowledgement for it.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F07414 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F07414 mean on a SINAMICS drive?
It reports that the serial number of the motor encoder of a synchronous motor has changed. The check only applies to encoders with a serial number (e.g. EnDat encoders) on built-in motors (e.g. p0300 = 401) or third-party motors (p0300 = 2).
How do I clear F07414 after replacing the encoder?
Acknowledge the fault and carry out the automatic adjustment: initiate the pole position identification routine with p1990 = 1 and check that it is correctly executed. Alternatively set the adjustment via p0431, or mechanically adjust the encoder and accept the new serial number with p0440 = 1.
How do I disable the encoder serial number check behind F07414?
Set p0441 = FF and p0442 = 0, p0443 = 0, p0444 = 0, p0445 = 0 for the corresponding Encoder Data Set, and parameterize F07414 as message type N using p2118 and p2119.
Why did F07414 appear after a firmware update?
The manual lists a firmware update to a version that checks the encoder serial number as cause 4. In that case the new serial number is accepted with p0440 = 1.
