What it means
F07560 signals that the pulse number of a rotary absolute encoder is not a power of two. For such encoders the drive requires the value in p0408 (rotary encoder pulse number) to be a power of two and raises this fault when it is not. Both the fault value and the message value tell you which encoder data set is involved.
Why it appears
- For a rotary absolute encoder, the pulse number entered in p0408 is not a power of two.
What to check
- Check the encoder parameterization — the pulse number in p0408 together with p0404.1 and r0458.5 — and make sure the value in p0408 is a power of two.
- If the parameterization is correct, upgrade the Sensor Module firmware if necessary.
Reading the message value
- The drive stores the fault value in r0949; interpret it as a decimal number.
- The fault value contains the number of the encoder data set involved.
- The message value of the fault names it as well and reads
Encoder data set: %1
, with %1 standing for the encoder data set number involved.
Parameters the manual names
- p0408 — rotary encoder pulse number: the value that must be a power of two for a rotary absolute encoder; check and correct it here.
- p0404 — encoder configuration effective: check the value at p0404.1 as part of the encoder parameterization check.
- r0458 — Sensor Module properties: check the value at r0458.5 together with the encoder parameterization.
- r0949 — fault value: read it as a decimal number to identify the encoder data set involved.
Acknowledging and restarting
Acknowledge the fault immediately; a POWER ON also clears it. Because the cause lies in the encoder parameterization, correct p0408 before restarting — as long as the pulse number is not a power of two, the drive raises F07560 again.
What differs between the drive families
Straight from the manuals' own fields — F07560 is not described identically everywhere.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | Infeed: OFF2 (NONE, OFF1) Servo: OFF2 (IASC/DCBRK, NONE, OFF1, OFF3, STOP2) Vector: OFF2 (IASC/DCBRK, NONE, OFF1, OFF3, STOP2) Hla: OFF2 (NONE, OFF1, OFF3, STOP2) | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2846 |
| G130, G150 | Vector: OFF2 (IASC/DCBRK, NONE, OFF1, OFF3, STOP2) Infeed: OFF2 (NONE, OFF1) | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1580 |

Questions technicians ask
What does SINAMICS fault F07560 mean?
It means that for a rotary absolute encoder the pulse number set in p0408 is not a power of two. The fault value in r0949 shows which encoder data set is involved.
Which parameter triggers F07560?
p0408, the rotary encoder pulse number. For rotary absolute encoders its value must be a power of two.
How do I fix fault F07560?
Check the encoder parameterization (p0408, p0404.1, r0458.5) and set the pulse number to a power of two, upgrade the Sensor Module firmware if necessary, then acknowledge the fault immediately.
Why does F07560 come back after acknowledging?
Because the pulse number in p0408 is still not a power of two; the drive re-raises the fault until the value is corrected.
