What it means
F07986 is raised when problems with the ramp-function generator occur while the rotating measurements are running. The fault value the drive stores in r0949 — to be interpreted as a decimal number — identifies what went wrong; the manuals describe one value: 1, meaning the positive and negative directions are inhibited. In response to the fault the drive brings the motor to a standstill, and the message must be acknowledged before the drive will start again.
Why it appears
- During the rotating measurements, problems occurred with the ramp-function generator.
- Fault value 1: the positive and negative directions are inhibited — both direction inhibits, signalled via p1110 and p1111, are active while the measurement needs to run the ramp-function generator.
What to check
- Read the fault value in r0949 and interpret it as a decimal number.
- For fault value = 1: enable the direction — check the signal linked to p1110 (inhibit negative direction) and the signal linked to p1111 (inhibit positive direction) and clear the active inhibit so the direction is available to the measurement again.
Reading the message value
- The drive writes the fault value to r0949; interpret it as a decimal number.
- 1: The positive and negative directions are inhibited.
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 — fault value of this message; read it here and interpret it as a decimal number to see which ramp-function generator problem occurred.
- p1110 — BI: inhibit negative direction; for fault value 1, enable the negative direction again by clearing the inhibit signalled at this input.
- p1111 — BI: inhibit positive direction; likewise, clear an active inhibit here so the positive direction is enabled.
Acknowledging and restarting
Correct the cause first, then acknowledge the fault — acknowledgement is possible immediately, with no waiting time. The drive has ramped down to a standstill as the fault response; once the message is acknowledged, it accepts a new start command.
What differs between the drive families
Straight from the manuals' own fields — F07986 is not described identically everywhere.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | OFF1 (NONE, OFF2) | IMMEDIATELY | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2904 |
| G130, G150 | OFF1 (NONE, OFF2) | IMMEDIATELY | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1629 |
| G120 | OFF1 (NONE, OFF2) | IMMEDIATELY | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | — | SINAMICS G120 · p. 896 |

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F07986 mean on a SINAMICS drive?
The drive raised it because problems with the ramp-function generator occurred during the rotating measurements. Fault value 1 in r0949 means the positive and negative directions are inhibited.
How do I clear F07986 with fault value 1?
Enable the direction again via p1110 (inhibit negative direction) or p1111 (inhibit positive direction), then acknowledge the fault immediately and restart the drive.
Where do I read the fault value of F07986?
In r0949, interpreted as a decimal number. Value 1 means that both the positive and the negative direction are inhibited.
