What it means
F37835 reports a DRIVE-CLiQ communication error between the Control Unit and the HF Damping Module: the two nodes no longer send and receive in synchronism, so the cyclic data exchange with the HF Damping Module is disturbed. The component concerned and the precise reason are coded in the message value, which the drive stores in r0949 (fault value) or r2124 (alarm value); the decoding is listed below.
Why it appears
- There is a DRIVE-CLiQ communication error between the Control Unit and the HF Damping Module — the nodes do not send and receive in synchronism.
- Which telegram actually failed is recorded as a coded fault cause: the cyclic telegram was not received, the telegram receive list ran into a timeout, or the telegram send list ran into a timeout (see the decoding of the message value below).
What to check
- Read the message value of F37835 in r0949 and split it into component number and fault cause to identify the affected component and the type of telegram fault.
- Carry out a POWER ON.
- If F37835 occurs again after powering up, replace the component involved.
Reading the message value
- The drive codes the individual information of this message in the message value (r0949/r2124):
0000yyxx hex: yy = component number, xx = error cause
. - Fault cause 33 (= 21 hex): the cyclic telegram has not been received.
- Fault cause 34 (= 22 hex): timeout in the telegram receive list.
- Fault cause 64 (= 40 hex): timeout in the telegram send list.
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 — fault value: read the coded message value of F37835 here; the hex coding 0000yyxx gives the component number (yy) and the fault cause (xx) of this event.
- r2124 — alarm value: named by the manual alongside r0949 as the register in which the same coded information of this message is stored.
Acknowledging and restarting
Carry out a POWER ON first. If F37835 appears again afterwards, replace the component involved. Once the cause has been eliminated this way, the fault can be acknowledged immediately; no further reset steps are described.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F37835 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F37835 mean on a SINAMICS S120 or S150?
It is a DRIVE-CLiQ communication error between the Control Unit and the HF Damping Module: the nodes no longer send and receive in synchronism, so the cyclic data exchange with the module is disturbed.
How can I see which component triggered F37835?
Read the message value in r0949: coded as 0000yyxx hex, yy is the component number and xx the fault cause (33, 34 or 64).
What do the fault causes 33, 34 and 64 of F37835 mean?
33 (= 21 hex): the cyclic telegram has not been received; 34 (= 22 hex): timeout in the telegram receive list; 64 (= 40 hex): timeout in the telegram send list.
How do I clear F37835?
Carry out a POWER ON; if the fault occurs again, replace the component involved. After that the fault can be acknowledged immediately.
