F35150TM54F: Communication error

What it means

F35150 reports a communication error on the TM54F Terminal Module. The drive raises it when it detects a communication error either between the TM54F master and the Control Unit, or between the TM54F slave and the Motor Module/Hydraulic Module. The manuals for G130, G150, S120 and S150 describe this fault with the same cause and the same remedy, so the procedure below applies to every family listed.

Why it appears

  • A communication error between the TM54F master and the Control Unit was detected.
  • A communication error between the TM54F slave and the Motor Module/Hydraulic Module was detected.

What to check

  1. If a Motor Module or Hydraulic Module has been replaced: start the copy function for the node identifier on the TM54F (p9700 = 1D hex).
  2. Acknowledge the hardware CRC on the TM54F (p9701 = EC hex).
  3. Save all parameters (p0977 = 1).
  4. Carry out a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on) for all components.
  5. Check the electrical cabinet design and the cable routing for EMC compliance.
  6. Upgrade the software on the TM54F.
  7. Contact Technical Support.
  8. Replace the TM54F.

Reading the message value

  • The drive stores the fault value in r0949; the manual specifies hexadecimal interpretation.
  • The content is Only for internal Siemens troubleshooting — no bit or value decoding is published for this fault.

Parameters the manual names

  • r0949 — holds the fault value of F35150; read it hexadecimal, as it is reserved for internal Siemens troubleshooting.
  • p9700 — set to 1D hex to start the copy function for the node identifier on the TM54F after a Motor Module/Hydraulic Module replacement.
  • p9701 — set to EC hex to acknowledge the hardware CRC on the TM54F.
  • p0977 — set to 1 to save all parameters as the third step of the replacement sequence.

Acknowledging and restarting

The fault is cleared by a POWER ON: switch the power supply off and on again for all components. After a Motor Module/Hydraulic Module replacement this power cycle is the last step — run p9700, p9701 and p0977 first, then power down and power up all components so the fault acknowledges.

The same on every family

Every manual that describes F35150 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

Questions technicians ask

What does SINAMICS fault F35150 mean?

It reports a communication error between the TM54F master and the Control Unit, or between the TM54F slave and the Motor Module/Hydraulic Module.

How is fault F35150 reset?

By a POWER ON — switch the power off and on again for all components. After replacing a Motor Module/Hydraulic Module, first run p9700 = 1D hex, p9701 = EC hex and p0977 = 1, then power cycle.

What is the fault value of F35150 in r0949?

The drive writes it to r0949 in hexadecimal, but the manual states the value is only for internal Siemens troubleshooting, so no decoding is published.

What should I do if F35150 keeps occurring?

Check the electrical cabinet design and cable routing for EMC compliance and upgrade the software on the TM54F; then contact Technical Support and, if required, replace the TM54F.
