What it means
F35887 is generated by the CU when a fault is detected on a connected DRIVE-CLiQ component — in this case a Terminal Module (TM). The G130/G150 and S120/S150 manuals describe the message identically and state: Faulty hardware cannot be excluded
. Which Terminal Module is affected, and why, is coded in the message value (see the decoding below).
Why it appears
- A fault has been detected on the DRIVE-CLiQ component involved — the Terminal Module; the drive cannot exclude that the hardware itself is the origin.
- The coded fault cause identifies the trigger: an error in the telegram header, a receive or send error in which the telegram buffer memory contains an error, a response that arrived too late during runtime measurement, or a characteristic-data exchange that took too long — the numbers are listed in the decoding below.
What to check
- Check the DRIVE-CLiQ wiring to the Terminal Module — interrupted cable, contacts and the like.
- Check the electrical cabinet design and the cable routing for EMC compliance.
- If required, use another DRIVE-CLiQ socket for the Terminal Module (p9904).
- Replace the component involved.
Reading the message value
The drive codes both placeholders of the message value (component number, fault cause) into a single word, stored as fault value in r0949 and as alarm value in r2124:
0000yyxx hex — yy = component number, xx = error cause.
- 32 (20 hex): error in the telegram header.
- 35 (23 hex): receive error — the telegram buffer memory contains an error.
- 66 (42 hex): send error — the telegram buffer memory contains an error.
- 67 (43 hex): send error — the telegram buffer memory contains an error.
- 96 (60 hex): response received too late during runtime measurement.
- 97 (61 hex): time taken to exchange characteristic data too long.
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 (fault value) — read the coded message value of F35887 here: component number (yy) and fault cause (xx).
- r2124 (alarm value) — named by the manual alongside r0949 as the place where the same coded message value is stored.
- p9904 (topology comparison acknowledge differences) — applies when, per the remedy, the Terminal Module is moved to another DRIVE-CLiQ socket.
Acknowledging and restarting
The drive is brought to a standstill by the reaction (a ramp-down stop; in the alternative configuration the motor coasts down) and this fault must be acknowledged immediately before a restart is possible. Remedy the cause first, then acknowledge the fault; the remedy lists no further reset steps beyond acknowledgement and the possible socket change via p9904.
What differs between the drive families
Straight from the manuals' own fields — F35887 is not described identically everywhere.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | OFF1 (OFF2) | — | Internal (DRIVE-CLiQ) communication error (12) | Terminal Module (TM) | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 3239 |
| G130, G150 | OFF1 (OFF2) | IMMEDIATELY | Internal (DRIVE-CLiQ) communication error (12) | Terminal Module (TM) | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1902 |

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F35887 on a SINAMICS mean?
The CU has detected a fault on a DRIVE-CLiQ Terminal Module involved in the communication. The manuals explicitly note that faulty hardware cannot be excluded.
How do I decode the message value of F35887?
Read it in r0949 (or r2124): formatted 0000yyxx hex, yy is the component number and xx the error cause — for example 32 (20 hex) for a telegram header error or 96 (60 hex) for a response received too late during runtime measurement.
Does F35887 always mean the Terminal Module is defective?
No. First check the DRIVE-CLiQ wiring and the EMC-compliant cabinet design and cable routing; replacing the component involved is the last step of the remedy.
Which parameter matters if I move the Terminal Module to another DRIVE-CLiQ socket?
p9904 (topology comparison acknowledge differences) is the parameter the remedy names when another DRIVE-CLiQ socket is used.
