What it means
F13010 reports that at least one function module that requires a license is not licensed — the drive's configuration includes such a function module, but no valid license key has been entered for it. The bit set in the fault value identifies which function module is affected. The manual describes this code for the S120/S150 and the G130/G150 families.
Why it appears
- At least one function module that requires a license does not have a license — no license key has been entered and activated for it.
What to check
- Read the fault value in r0949 (interpret it in hexadecimal) and use the bit-to-module assignment in p0108 / r0108 to identify which function module is unlicensed.
- If a license is available, enter the license key in p9920 and activate it with p9921.
- If the function module is not needed, deactivate it instead in p0108 so the drive no longer expects a license for it.
Reading the message value
- The message value (%1) is the fault value; the drive stores it in r0949, to be interpreted in hexadecimal.
- Bit x = 1: the corresponding function module does not have a license.
- Which bit number belongs to which function module is shown in p0108 or r0108.
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 (fault value) — read the fault value here, interpreted hexadecimal, to see which function module is unlicensed.
- r0108 (DO function module) — shows which bit number corresponds to which function module, so the bit set in r0949 can be decoded.
- p0108 (DO function module) — same bit-to-module assignment; use it to deactivate a function module that is to remain unlicensed.
- p9920 (enter license key) — the license key for the function module is entered here.
- p9921 (activate license key) — activates the key entered in p9920.
Acknowledging and restarting
F13010 is acknowledged immediately once the cause is removed: after the license key has been entered (p9920) and activated (p9921), or after the unlicensed function module has been deactivated (p0108), acknowledge the fault and the drive can be restarted.
What differs between the drive families
Straight from the manuals' own fields — F13010 is not described identically everywhere.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | — | — | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2932 |
| G130, G150 | OFF1 | IMMEDIATELY | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1646 |

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F13010 mean on a SINAMICS drive?
That at least one function module which requires a license is not licensed — no valid license key is stored for it. The fault value in r0949 shows which function module is affected.
How do I find out which function module is missing a license?
Read the fault value in r0949 and interpret it in hexadecimal. p0108 or r0108 gives the assignment between the bit number and the function module.
How is F13010 cleared?
Enter the license key in p9920 and activate it with p9921; if the function module is not needed, deactivate it in p0108 instead. Then acknowledge the fault immediately.
Can I clear F13010 without buying a license?
The alternative the manual gives is to deactivate the unlicensed function module (p0108, r0108) so it is no longer used. The fault then no longer appears for that module.
