What it means
F30836 signals a send error on the DRIVE-CLiQ link to the power unit: a DRIVE-CLiQ communication error has occurred from the Control Unit to the power unit concerned, and data were not able to be sent. The manuals describe the fault identically for every drive object it is raised on, so everything below applies throughout.
Why it appears
- A DRIVE-CLiQ communication error has occurred from the Control Unit to the power unit concerned — the data were not able to be sent.
What to check
- Carry out a POWER ON. This is the only remedy the manuals give for this code.
Reading the message value
The drive fills the message value with two pieces of information: the component number (%1) and the fault cause (%2). The individual information is coded in the message value (r0949/r2124) as follows:
- 0000yyxx hex: yy = component number, xx = error cause
- Fault cause 65 (= 41 hex): Telegram type does not match send list
65 (= 41 hex) is the only fault cause the manuals print for this code, so the value read there tells you which component reported the send error and that its telegram type did not match the send list.
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 (fault value) — read the coded message value of this fault here: 0000yyxx hex, from which you take the component number and the error cause.
- r2124 (alarm value) — the location named alongside r0949 in which the same coded value for this code is stored.
Acknowledging and restarting
Carry out a POWER ON — the manuals' only remedy for F30836. The drive coasts down while the fault is active, and the fault must be acknowledged immediately before the drive will start again.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F30836 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | OFF2 | IMMEDIATELY | Internal (DRIVE-CLiQ) communication error (12) | Power Module | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 3017 |
| G130, G150 | OFF2 | IMMEDIATELY | Internal (DRIVE-CLiQ) communication error (12) | Power Module | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1708 |

Questions technicians ask
What does SINAMICS fault F30836 mean?
The power unit could not send data to the Control Unit over DRIVE-CLiQ — a send error for DRIVE-CLiQ data. The message value names the component number and the fault cause.
What is fault cause 65 in F30836?
65 (= 41 hex) means the telegram type does not match the send list. It is the only fault cause the manuals print for this code.
How do I clear fault F30836?
The manual's remedy is to carry out a POWER ON. The drive coasts down while the fault is active and must be acknowledged immediately before it will start again.
Where can I read the component number reported by F30836?
In the message value, which the drive stores coded in r0949/r2124 as 0000yyxx hex: yy is the component number and xx is the error cause.
