What it means
F33836 means that a DRIVE-CLiQ communication error has occurred from the Control Unit to the encoder involved — the component concerned is the Sensor Module Encoder 3 — and the data were not able to be sent. The manuals pin the condition down to one fault cause: 65 (= 41 hex), the telegram type does not match the send list. Depending on how the drive is configured, the same condition can also be output as an alarm (A) or with no reaction (N); the G130/G150 and S120/S150 manuals describe the cause and the remedy identically.
Why it appears
- A DRIVE-CLiQ communication error has occurred from the Control Unit to the encoder involved — the data were not able to be sent.
- Fault cause 65 (= 41 hex):
Telegram type does not match send list
.
What to check
- Carry out a POWER ON. This is the single remedy the manuals give for this code; no other measures are described.
Reading the message value
- The drive stores the message value — component number and fault cause — in r0949 as the fault value or in r2124 as the alarm value.
- Coding: 0000yyxx hex, where yy is the component number and xx is the error cause.
- xx = 65 (= 41 hex): Telegram type does not match send list.
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 — fault value: read the coded message value (0000yyxx hex) here to identify the component number and the error cause while the fault is present.
- r2124 — alarm value: the same coded information is stored here when the drive outputs the condition as an alarm.
Acknowledging and restarting
The fault must be acknowledged IMMEDIATELY. Afterwards carry out a POWER ON. When the drive is configured to output this condition only as an alarm (A) or with no reaction (N), the manuals note that neither a reaction nor an acknowledgement takes place in those cases.
What differs between the drive families
Straight from the manuals' own fields — F33836 is not described identically everywhere.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | Servo: OFF1 (IASC/DCBRK, NONE, OFF2, OFF3) Vector: OFF1 (IASC/DCBRK, NONE, OFF2, OFF3) Hla: OFF1 (NONE, OFF2, OFF3) | IMMEDIATELY | Internal (DRIVE-CLiQ) communication error (12) | Sensor Module Encoder 3 | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 3169 |
| G130, G150 | OFF1 (IASC/DCBRK, NONE, OFF2, OFF3) | IMMEDIATELY | Internal (DRIVE-CLiQ) communication error (12) | Sensor Module Encoder 3 | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1841 |

Questions technicians ask
What does SINAMICS fault F33836 mean?
A DRIVE-CLiQ communication error has occurred from the Control Unit to encoder 3, and the data were not able to be sent. The fault cause is 65 (= 41 hex): the telegram type does not match the send list.
How do I clear fault F33836?
Acknowledge the fault immediately and then carry out a POWER ON. The manuals give no other remedy for this code.
Which fault cause does F33836 report and where is it stored?
Cause 65 (= 41 hex), meaning the telegram type does not match the send list. It is coded in the message value r0949 (or r2124 when raised as an alarm) as 0000yyxx hex, where yy is the component number and xx the error cause.
Can F33836 also appear as an alarm instead of a fault?
Yes — depending on the drive's configuration, the same condition can be output as an alarm (A) or with no reaction (N). In both cases no reaction and no acknowledgement take place.
