What it means
F32142 is raised for Encoder 2. While the drive is switched off, the encoder uses a battery to back up its multiturn information. The drive reports this fault when that battery voltage is no longer sufficient to check the multiturn information. Depending on the drive's configuration, the same condition can also be issued as an alarm or without any reaction.
Why it appears
- The battery that backs up the multiturn information of Encoder 2 while the drive is switched off no longer has sufficient voltage to check the multiturn information.
What to check
- Replace the battery of Encoder 2.
Acknowledging and restarting
Acknowledge the fault immediately after the battery has been replaced; the drive can then be restarted. If the drive's configuration raises this condition as an alarm or without a reaction, no acknowledgment is needed.
What differs between the drive families
Straight from the manuals' own fields — F32142 is not described identically everywhere.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | Servo: OFF1 (IASC/DCBRK, NONE, OFF2, OFF3, STOP2) Vector: OFF1 (IASC/DCBRK, NONE, OFF2, OFF3, STOP2) Hla: OFF1 (NONE, OFF2, OFF3, STOP2) | IMMEDIATELY | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | Encoder 2 | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 3098 |
| G130, G150 | OFF1 (IASC/DCBRK, NONE, OFF2, OFF3, STOP2) | IMMEDIATELY | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | Encoder 2 | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1776 |

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F32142 mean on a SINAMICS drive?
The battery that backs up the multiturn information of Encoder 2 while the drive is switched off can no longer supply enough voltage to check the multiturn information.
How do I clear F32142?
Replace the encoder battery and then acknowledge the fault immediately, after which the drive can be restarted.
Can F32142 also appear as an alarm?
Yes. Depending on the drive's configuration, the same condition can be issued as an alarm or without any reaction instead of as a fault.
