What it means
F37887 is raised when the drive detects a fault on the HF Damping Module — the DRIVE-CLiQ component involved. The message value tells you which component is affected and which fault cause the drive observed: the component number and the fault cause are coded together in the value that r0949 / r2124 display, and the decoding is given below.
Why it appears
- Fault detected on the DRIVE-CLiQ component (HF Damping Module) involved.
Faulty hardware cannot be excluded.
- Which of the fault causes listed under the message value applies is shown in r0949 / r2124.
What to check
- Check the DRIVE-CLiQ wiring (interrupted cable, contacts, …).
- Check the electrical cabinet design and the cable routing for EMC compliance.
- If required, use another DRIVE-CLiQ socket (p9904).
- Replace the component involved.
Reading the message value
- The message value contains the component number (%1) and the fault cause (%2).
- In r0949 / r2124 the information is coded as 0000yyxx hex: yy is the component number, xx is the error cause.
- Fault cause 32 (= 20 hex): error in the telegram header.
- Fault cause 35 (= 23 hex): receive error — the telegram buffer memory contains an error.
- Fault cause 66 (= 42 hex): send error — the telegram buffer memory contains an error.
- Fault cause 67 (= 43 hex): send error — the telegram buffer memory contains an error.
- Fault cause 96 (= 60 hex): response received too late during runtime measurement.
- Fault cause 97 (= 61 hex): time taken to exchange characteristic data too long.
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 — fault value: read the coded message value of F37887 here (0000yyxx hex) to get the component number and the fault cause.
- r2124 — alarm value: the manual names it alongside r0949 for the same coding of this message value.
- p9904 — topology comparison acknowledge differences: use it to acknowledge the topology difference after the DRIVE-CLiQ cable has been moved to another socket as part of this remedy.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F37887 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

Questions technicians ask
What does SINAMICS fault F37887 mean?
The drive has detected a fault on the HF Damping Module, the DRIVE-CLiQ component involved. The manual notes that faulty hardware cannot be excluded.
How do I fix fault F37887?
Check the DRIVE-CLiQ wiring for an interrupted cable or contact problems, check the electrical cabinet design and cable routing for EMC compliance, and if required use another DRIVE-CLiQ socket (p9904). As the last step, replace the component involved.
How is the F37887 message value decoded?
The value shown in r0949 / r2124 is coded 0000yyxx hex: yy is the component number and xx the fault cause — for example 32 for an error in the telegram header or 96 for a response received too late during runtime measurement.
What does fault cause 97 in F37887 mean?
The time taken to exchange characteristic data was too long.
