What it means
F30685 (SI Motion P2: Safely Limited Speed limit value too high) is raised when the limit value set for the Safety Integrated (SI) function Safely-Limited Speed (SLS) is greater than the speed that corresponds to an encoder limit frequency of 500 kHz. The manual notes that this fault does not result in a safety stop response. In the same manuals, SLS is also listed under the name SG (Safely reduced speed).
Why it appears
- The SLS limit value is set to a speed that lies above the speed corresponding to an encoder limit frequency of 500 kHz.
What to check
- Read the fault value in r0949 and interpret it as a decimal number: it contains the maximum permissible speed.
- Check the configured SLS limit values in p9331 (SI Motion SLS limit values, Motor Module).
- Reduce the SLS limit values so that none of them exceeds the maximum permissible speed shown in r0949.
- Carry out a POWER ON so that the corrected limit values become effective.
Reading the message value
- The drive stores the fault value in r0949; for F30685 it must be interpreted as a decimal number.
- The decoded value is the maximum permissible speed, i.e. the highest SLS speed the encoder limit frequency of 500 kHz still allows.
Parameters the manual names
- p9331 — SI Motion SLS limit values (Motor Module): the parameter in which the SLS limit values are configured; correct these values here when F30685 occurs.
- r0949 — fault value: for F30685 it displays the maximum permissible speed; read the value as a decimal number.
Acknowledging and restarting
The remedy is to Correct the limit values for SLS and carry out a POWER ON.
A POWER ON is therefore part of clearing the fault: once the corrected limit values are in p9331, the drive leaves the fault state after the POWER ON and can be restarted.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F30685 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | OFF2 | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2995 |
| G130, G150 | OFF2 | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | None | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1690 |

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F30685 mean on a SINAMICS drive?
The limit value set for the Safely-Limited Speed (SLS) function is greater than the speed that corresponds to an encoder limit frequency of 500 kHz.
How do I clear fault F30685?
Correct the SLS limit values in p9331 and then carry out a POWER ON. The fault is only cleared after the corrected values have been loaded with this POWER ON.
Does F30685 trigger a safety stop?
No. The manual notes that this fault does not result in a safety stop response.
What does the fault value r0949 show for F30685?
Interpreted as a decimal number, r0949 contains the maximum permissible speed for the SLS function.
