F33916Encoder 3: Encoder parameterization error

What it means

F33916 signals that a parameter of encoder 3 has been detected as incorrect. The manuals point to one typical situation: the encoder type stored in the parameterization does not match the encoder actually connected. Depending on the drive configuration, the same condition can also be issued as an alarm (A) or with no reaction (N) instead of a fault.

Why it appears

  • An encoder parameter of encoder 3 was detected as being incorrect.
  • It is possible that the parameterized encoder type does not match the connected encoder.

What to check

  1. Check whether the connected encoder type matches the encoder type that has been parameterized.
  2. Determine the parameter number of the incorrect parameter from the fault value r0949, interpreting the value as a decimal number.
  3. Determine the parameter index from p0187.
  4. Correct the parameter specified by the fault value (r0949) and p0187.

Reading the message value

  • Fault value (r0949, interpret decimal): parameter number — the fault value holds the number of the parameter detected as incorrect.
  • Message value: Parameter: %1, supplementary information: %2.

Parameters the manual names

  • r0949 — fault value of the message; for F33916 it contains the number of the incorrect encoder parameter and must be interpreted as a decimal number.
  • p0187 — encoder 1 encoder data set (EDS) number; for this fault the entry uses it to read out the parameter index that, together with r0949, identifies the parameter to correct.

Acknowledging and restarting

The fault must be acknowledged immediately (IMMEDIATELY); when it trips, the drive executes OFF1, so operation can only resume after the incorrect parameter has been corrected and the message acknowledged. Where the condition is output as alarm A or with no reaction (N), the drive neither reacts nor requires an acknowledgement.

What differs between the drive families

Straight from the manuals' own fields — F33916 is not described identically everywhere.

Questions technicians ask

What does fault F33916 mean on a SINAMICS drive?

It reports that a parameter of encoder 3 was detected as incorrect, possibly because the parameterized encoder type does not match the encoder actually connected.

How do I find the parameter that causes F33916?

The fault value r0949, interpreted as a decimal number, contains the parameter number, and p0187 provides the parameter index. Correct the parameter identified by these two values.

How do I reset F33916?

Correct the flagged parameter and acknowledge the fault immediately; as a fault the drive reacts with OFF1. In configurations where it is output as an alarm or with no reaction, no acknowledgement is required.

Which SINAMICS drives can issue F33916?

The code is described for SINAMICS G130, G150, S120 and S150 and concerns encoder 3.
