F40820CX32 DRIVE-CLiQ: Telegram error

What it means

F40820 is a CX32 DRIVE-CLiQ telegram error: a DRIVE-CLiQ communications error has occurred from the Control Unit to the controller extension involved — in the manuals for the G130, G150, S120 and S150 this is the DRIVE-CLiQ Hub Module (Hub). A telegram arriving at the hub was defective or not the one expected, so the drive coasts down and the fault must be acknowledged immediately before it can run again.

Why it appears

  • A DRIVE-CLiQ communications error has occurred from the Control Unit to the CX32 controller extension (DRIVE-CLiQ Hub Module) involved.
  • What exactly was wrong with the received telegram is given by the fault cause coded in the message value — see the list under fault value.

What to check

  1. Carry out a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on).
  2. Check the electrical cabinet design and the cable routing for EMC compliance.
  3. Check the DRIVE-CLiQ wiring (interrupted cable, contacts, ...).
  4. The remedy for this fault also refers to p9916 (DRIVE-CLiQ data transfer error shutdown threshold slave).

Reading the message value

The drive stores the message value in r0949 or r2124 and codes it as 0000yyxx hex, where yy is the component number and xx the fault cause:

  • 1 (= 01 hex): checksum error (CRC error).
  • 2 (= 02 hex): the telegram is shorter than specified in the length byte or in the receive list.
  • 3 (= 03 hex): the telegram is longer than specified in the length byte or in the receive list.
  • 4 (= 04 hex): the length of the receive telegram does not match the receive list.
  • 5 (= 05 hex): the type of the receive telegram does not match the receive list.
  • 6 (= 06 hex): the address of the component in the telegram and in the receive list do not match.
  • 7 (= 07 hex): a SYNC telegram is expected, but the received telegram is not a SYNC telegram.
  • 8 (= 08 hex): no SYNC telegram is expected, but the received telegram is one.
  • 9 (= 09 hex): the error bit in the receive telegram is set.
  • 16 (= 10 hex): the receive telegram is too early.

Parameters the manual names

  • r0949 — fault value: read the coded message value of this fault here (0000yyxx hex, component number in yy, fault cause in xx).
  • r2124 — alarm value: the second location the manual names for the same coded message value of this fault.
  • p9916 — DRIVE-CLiQ data transfer error shutdown threshold slave: the parameter the manual's remedy cross-refers to for this fault.

Acknowledging and restarting

Acknowledge the fault immediately. The manual's remedy is to carry out a POWER ON — switch the drive off and on again — before returning it to service. If F40820 reappears, work through the checks above.

The same on every family

Every manual that describes F40820 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

Questions technicians ask

What does fault F40820 mean on a SINAMICS drive?

It is a CX32 DRIVE-CLiQ telegram error: a DRIVE-CLiQ communications error has occurred from the Control Unit to the controller extension involved, the DRIVE-CLiQ Hub Module. The drive coasts down and the fault must be acknowledged immediately.

How do I clear fault F40820?

Carry out a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on) and acknowledge the fault immediately. If it recurs, check the cabinet design and cable routing for EMC compliance and inspect the DRIVE-CLiQ wiring for interrupted cables or poor contacts.

Where do I read the component number and fault cause of F40820?

In the message value, which the drive stores in r0949 or r2124 coded as 0000yyxx hex: yy is the component number and xx the fault cause, for example 09 hex for a set error bit in the received telegram.

Which parameter does the manual mention for this DRIVE-CLiQ fault?

The remedy for F40820 cross-refers to p9916, the DRIVE-CLiQ data transfer error shutdown threshold slave.
