F07955Drive: Motor has been changed

What it means

The drive saves the code number of the motor with DRIVE-CLiQ and compares it against the motor that is actually connected. If the code number of the connected motor does not match the saved number, F07955 "Drive: Motor has been changed" is raised — normally because a different motor has been connected or the motor has been exchanged. In the S120/S150 description the comparison additionally covers the code numbers of the bearings, the gearbox and the brake. The fault value tells you which parameter is affected (see below).

Why it appears

  • The code number of the actual motor with DRIVE-CLiQ does not match the saved number.
  • Per the S120/S150 manual only: the code numbers of the bearings, the gearbox or the brake do not match the saved numbers.

What to check

  1. Read the fault value: r0949, interpreted as a decimal number, gives the number of the incorrect parameter.
  2. Identify the connected motor: r0302 shows the motor code number of the motor with DRIVE-CLiQ that the drive is reading — this is the number that does not match the saved one.
  3. If the original motor is available: connect it, switch on the Control Unit again (POWER ON) and exit quick commissioning with p0010 = 0.
  4. If the motor data have not changed: set p0300 = 10100 without recommissioning (this option is given in the S120/S150 manual).
  5. Otherwise: set p0300 = 10000 — the parameters are loaded from the motor with DRIVE-CLiQ — and re-commission. Per the S120/S150 manual, the data for bearings, gearbox and brake are reloaded.
  6. Note on completion: quick commissioning (p0010 = 1) is exited automatically with p3900 > 0. If quick commissioning was exited with p0010 = 0, an automatic controller calculation (p0340 = 1) is not carried out.

Reading the message value

  • The drive stores the number of the incorrect parameter in the fault value; read it in r0949 and interpret it as a decimal number.
  • The message value shows this as "Parameter: %1", where %1 stands for the number of the incorrect parameter.

Parameters the manual names

  • r0949 — read the fault value here (interpret it as a decimal) to find the number of the incorrect parameter.
  • p0300 — motor type selection: set it to 10100 to keep the existing motor data without recommissioning, or to 10000 to load the parameters from the connected motor with DRIVE-CLiQ.
  • p0301 — motor code number selection: the parameter through which the motor code number is selected.
  • r0302 — shows the motor code number of the connected motor with DRIVE-CLiQ, i.e. the number that is being compared.
  • p0010 — drive commissioning parameter filter: set it to 0 to exit quick commissioning after reconnecting the original motor.
  • p3900 — with p3900 > 0, quick commissioning (p0010 = 1) is exited automatically.
  • p0340 — automatic parameter calculation: if quick commissioning was exited with p0010 = 0, the automatic controller calculation is not carried out.

Acknowledging and restarting

Acknowledge the fault immediately after the cause has been removed — that is, after the original motor has been reconnected or the motor data have been reloaded as described above — and the drive can be restarted. Where the remedy requires it, switch the Control Unit on again (POWER ON) and exit quick commissioning with p0010 = 0, or let p3900 > 0 end quick commissioning automatically. Remember that if quick commissioning was exited with p0010 = 0, the automatic controller calculation (p0340 = 1) does not run.

What differs between the drive families

Straight from the manuals' own fields — F07955 is not described identically everywhere.

Questions technicians ask

What does fault F07955 in SINAMICS mean?

The code number of the motor with DRIVE-CLiQ that is actually connected does not match the number saved in the drive, typically because another motor was connected. On S120/S150, mismatching bearing, gearbox or brake code numbers also raise it.

How do I clear and reset F07955?

Remove the mismatch first: either reconnect the original motor, switch the Control Unit on again (POWER ON) and exit quick commissioning with p0010 = 0, or set p0300 = 10000 and re-commission. Once the cause is cleared, acknowledge the fault immediately.

What is stored in the fault value of F07955?

r0949, interpreted as a decimal number, contains the number of the incorrect parameter. The message value displays it as "Parameter: %1".

What does p0300 = 10000 do for F07955?

It makes the drive load the parameters from the connected motor with DRIVE-CLiQ, after which you re-commission. Per the S120/S150 manual, the data for bearings, gearbox and brake are reloaded as well.
