F30805Power unit: EEPROM checksum error

What it means

F30805 means the power unit has detected an EEPROM checksum error: its internal parameter data is corrupted. The drive switches off immediately (OFF2) and the fault must be acknowledged before the drive can run again; acknowledgement is possible immediately, without any waiting period. The manuals for the G120, G120XA, G130, G150, S120 and S150 describe the code with the same cause and remedy; only the interpretation of the fault value differs between them (see below).

Why it appears

  • The power unit's internal parameter data is corrupted — this is the only cause the manuals print for this code.

What to check

  1. Read the fault value in r0949 and match it against the decoding below; it tells you whether the EEPROM access failed, whether the EEPROM holds too many blocks, or whether the safety data is affected (S120/S150 only).
  2. Replace the affected power unit/module. The S120/S150 manual words this as replacing the power unit involved, the other manuals as replacing the module; no other remedy, parameter change or repair procedure is described.

Reading the message value

The drive stores the fault value in r0949. For the G120, G120XA, G130 and G150 the manual says to interpret it in hexadecimal; for the S120 and S150, in decimal:

  • 01: EEPROM access error.
  • 02: Too many blocks in the EEPROM.
  • 03: Safety EEPROM data error.
  • … 20: Safety EEPROM data error — the S120/S150 manual prints this as a range from 03 to 20; the other manuals list no safety values.

Parameters the manual names

  • r0949 (fault value): read it for this code to see which of the EEPROM errors above the power unit detected — interpret it in hexadecimal on the G120, G120XA, G130 and G150, in decimal on the S120 and S150.

Acknowledging and restarting

The fault is acknowledged immediately — no waiting time and no power-down are required. Because the corrupted data sits in the power unit itself, the manuals give no reset or re-parameterization procedure for this code: the remedy is to replace the power unit/module.

What differs between the drive families

Straight from the manuals' own fields — F30805 is not described identically everywhere.

Questions technicians ask

What does fault F30805 on a SINAMICS drive mean?

The power unit reports an EEPROM checksum error — its internal parameter data is corrupted. The drive switches off immediately (OFF2) and the fault has to be acknowledged before it can run again.

How do I fix fault F30805?

Read the fault value in r0949 to identify the exact EEPROM error, then replace the power unit/module — the manuals describe no other remedy. The fault itself can be acknowledged immediately.

What do fault values 01, 02, 03 and 20 mean for F30805?

01 means an EEPROM access error, 02 that too many blocks are stored in the EEPROM, and 03 through 20 are safety EEPROM data errors. The safety values are listed only in the S120/S150 manual.

Does F30805 also appear as an alarm?

No alarm form is given in these manuals — F30805 is described only as a fault with an immediate switch-off and immediate acknowledgement.
