F30656SI P2: Motor Module parameter error

What it means

F30656 is raised when the drive hits an error while reading the Safety Integrated (SI) parameters of monitoring channel 2 out of the non-volatile memory — on G120 the affected unit is the second parameter processor, which is why its manual titles the code SI P2: Parameter processor 2 parameter error. On G130, G150, S120 and S150 the channel belongs to the Motor Module (MM). The fault forces a STOP A that can be acknowledged, and the drive only comes back after a POWER ON.

Why it appears

  • An error occurred while the Safety Integrated parameters for monitoring channel 2 (on G120: for processor 2) were being accessed in the non-volatile memory.
  • What exactly failed is told by the fault value in r0949: corrupted SI parameters (129) or an internal software error on the Control Unit, on the Motor Module/Hydraulic Module or — on G120 — on one of the two processors (131, 255).

What to check

  1. Re-commission the safety functions.
  2. Upgrade the Control Unit software and, on the Motor Module variant, the Motor Module/Hydraulic Module software as well — the G120 manual does not list this step.
  3. Replace the memory card or the Control Unit.
  4. If the fault value (r0949, read as a decimal number) is 129, run this sequence:
    1. Activate the safety commissioning mode (p0010 = 95).
    2. Adapt the PROFIsafe address (p9610) — this step is printed for the Motor Module variant only.
    3. Start the copy function for SI parameters (p9700 = D0 hex).
    4. Acknowledge the data change (p9701 = DC hex).
    5. Leave the safety commissioning mode (p0010 = 0).
    6. Save all parameters (p0977 = 1, or "copy RAM to ROM"; G120 saves with p0971 = 1).
    7. Carry out a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on) for all components — on G120 for the Control Unit.

Reading the message value

The message value carries the fault value, which r0949 shows as a decimal number:

  • 129 — the safety parameters of monitoring channel 2 (G120: of processor 2) are corrupted; for the Motor Module variant the manual adds that a drive with enabled safety functions may have been copied offline in the commissioning tool and the project downloaded.
  • 131 — internal software error on the Control Unit (G120: on processor 1).
  • 255 — internal software error on the Motor Module/Hydraulic Module (G120: on processor 2).

Parameters the manual names

  • r0949 — read the fault value here, interpreted as a decimal number, to see whether case 129, 131 or 255 applies.
  • p0010 — set to 95 to enter the safety commissioning mode and back to 0 to leave it.
  • p9610 — adapt the PROFIsafe address of the Control Unit here (Motor Module variant, fault value 129).
  • p9700 — set to D0 hex to start the copy function for SI parameters.
  • p9701 — set to DC hex to acknowledge the changed SI data.
  • p0977 — set to 1, or run "copy RAM to ROM", to save all parameters after the copy (Motor Module variant).
  • p0971 — the G120 performs the same save with this parameter set to 1.

Acknowledging and restarting

Once the remedy is done, the fault clears only on a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on) of all components — on G120 of the Control Unit. The STOP A produced by the fault can then be acknowledged.

What differs between the drive families

Straight from the manuals' own fields — F30656 is not described identically everywhere.

Questions technicians ask

What does fault F30656 mean in SINAMICS?

The drive found an error while reading the Safety Integrated parameters of monitoring channel 2 (parameter processor 2 on G120) from the non-volatile memory. The fault value in r0949 tells which of the cases 129, 131 or 255 applies.

How do I clear F30656 with fault value 129?

Activate the safety commissioning mode (p0010 = 95), adapt the PROFIsafe address p9610 where the manual provides it, copy the SI parameters with p9700 = D0 hex and acknowledge with p9701 = DC hex. Then exit the mode, save all parameters and POWER ON the components.

Why does F30656 appear after I copied a project offline?

Fault value 129 means the SI parameters of monitoring channel 2 are corrupted — possibly a drive with enabled safety functions was copied offline in the commissioning tool and its project downloaded.

How is F30656 acknowledged?

By a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on) of all components once the safety functions have been re-commissioned and the parameters saved; on G120 the POWER ON concerns the Control Unit.
