What it means
F36896 — printed by the manual as "Hub DRIVE-CLiQ (CU): Inconsistent component properties" — means that the properties of the DRIVE-CLiQ component named in the fault value, a DRIVE-CLiQ Hub Module, have changed in an incompatible fashion with respect to the properties recorded when the drive booted. The message value tells you which component is affected.
Why it appears
- The properties of the DRIVE-CLiQ Hub Module specified by the fault value no longer match the properties it had at boot time.
- A DRIVE-CLiQ cable has been replaced — the manual names this as one possible cause.
- A DRIVE-CLiQ component has been replaced — likewise named as a possible cause.
What to check
- Carry out a POWER ON — switch the drive off and back on again.
- If a component was replaced, use the same component type and, if possible, the same firmware version.
- If a cable was replaced, use only a cable whose length is the same as, or as close as possible to, the length of the original cable, and ensure compliance with the maximum cable length.
Reading the message value
- Message value: Component number: %1 — the drive enters the number of the affected component.
- Fault value (r0949, interpret decimal): the component number of the DRIVE-CLiQ component whose properties have changed.
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 — read the fault value here; interpreted as a decimal number it gives the component number of the DRIVE-CLiQ component named by this fault.
Acknowledging and restarting
The fault must be acknowledged immediately. The remedy the manual gives is a POWER ON: switching the drive off and on again lets it capture the component properties anew at boot. If a component or its cable has been exchanged, the new component type and firmware version, or the new cable length, should match the original as described above before the drive is powered up again.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F36896 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F36896 mean on a SINAMICS drive?
It means the properties of a DRIVE-CLiQ Hub Module — the component identified by the fault value — have changed incompatibly compared with the properties captured when the drive booted, for example because a DRIVE-CLiQ cable or component was replaced.
How do I fix fault F36896?
Carry out a POWER ON. If a component was replaced, use the same component type and, if possible, the same firmware version; if a cable was replaced, use one of the same length as the original, or as close as possible, observing the maximum cable length.
Which component has triggered F36896?
The fault value stored in r0949, interpreted as a decimal number, gives the component number of the affected DRIVE-CLiQ component.
Why does F36896 appear after swapping a DRIVE-CLiQ cable?
Because the hub component's properties no longer match those recorded at boot. The manual therefore recommends replacing a cable only with one whose length is the same as or as close as possible to the original, while complying with the maximum cable length.
