What it means
F07433 is raised when a changeover to closed-loop control with encoder is to be carried out but the connected encoder has not been unparked — it is still parked. While the encoder remains parked, the drive cannot use it for closed-loop control and rejects the changeover. The fault signals this rejected changeover rather than a drive trip, so no automatic stop is executed.
Why it appears
- The changeover to closed-loop control with encoder was commanded while the encoder had not yet been unparked.
- For long-stator motors (p3870.0 = 1): the encoder had not completed the unparking procedure (r3875.0 = 1) before the changeover was attempted.
What to check
- Check whether the encoder firmware supports the "parking" function: r0481.6 must read 1.
- If the encoder firmware does not support the parking function, upgrade the firmware.
- For long-stator motors (p3870.0 = 1), make sure the encoder has completed the unparking procedure before changing over — r3875.0 must read 1.
The encoder is unparked using binector input p3876 = 0/1 signal and remains until a 0 signal in this state.
Parameters the manual names
- r0481 (CO: Encoder status word Gn_ZSW / Enc Gn_ZSW) — for this fault bit 6 is checked: r0481.6 = 1 means the encoder firmware supports the parking function.
- p3870 (Long stator configuration / Long stator config) — p3870.0 = 1 identifies the application as a long-stator motor, the case for which the unparking condition applies before the changeover.
- p3876 (BI: Unpark long stator signal source 1 encoder / s_s 1 enc unpark) — the binector input whose 0/1 signal unparks the encoder; the encoder remains unparked until a 0 signal is applied.
Acknowledging and restarting
No special reset is described for this fault. Once the encoder is unparked — for long-stator motors, once r3875.0 reads 1 — and, where the parking function was not supported, the firmware has been upgraded, acknowledge the fault in the way shown for your drive object and repeat the changeover to closed-loop control with encoder.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F07433 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F07433 mean in SINAMICS?
The drive wanted to change over to closed-loop control with encoder, but the connected encoder has not been unparked. The changeover is rejected while the encoder is still parked.
How do I fix F07433?
Check r0481.6: if the encoder firmware does not support the parking function, upgrade the firmware. For long-stator motors (p3870.0 = 1), unpark the encoder via p3876 and wait until r3875.0 = 1 before repeating the changeover.
How is a long-stator encoder unparked?
With a 0/1 signal at binector input p3876; the encoder remains unparked until a 0 signal is applied. r3875.0 = 1 shows that the unparking procedure has completed.
