F52966Mpc motor quantity not matched

What it means

F52966 belongs to multi-pump control: the drive raises it when the motor quantity configured in p29521 does not match the digital output settings. While the fault is active the drive coasts down, and it accepts a new start only after the fault has been acknowledged.

Why it appears

  • The motor quantity set in p29521 and the digital output settings do not match.
  • The fault also occurs when p29521 is set greater than four while the CU is operated without an I/O extended module.

What to check

  1. Establish whether the CU operates with or without an I/O extended module; the remedy differs between the two cases.
  2. Without an I/O extended module: change p29521 or the digital output settings p0730, p0731, p0732, p0733 so that the motor quantity set in p29521 matches the quantity of digital outputs mapped in r29529.
  3. With an I/O extended module added: change p29521 or the digital output settings p0730, p0731, p0732, p0733, p0734, p0735 so that the motor quantity set in p29521 matches the quantity of digital outputs mapped in r29529.
  4. Note that a motor quantity greater than four in p29521 requires an I/O extended module; with the CU alone the fault occurs.

Parameters the manual names

  • p29521 — Multi-pump control motor configuration: the motor quantity that multi-pump control works with; align this value with the digital outputs mapped in r29529 when F52966 appears.
  • p0730, p0731, p0732, p0733 — digital output settings used without an I/O extended module: change these, or p29521, until the output quantity in r29529 equals the motor quantity.
  • p0734, p0735 — the digital outputs that come in addition once an I/O extended module is added; include them in the matching when the module is fitted.

Acknowledging and restarting

Once p29521 and the digital output settings agree again, acknowledge the fault immediately; the drive coasts down when this fault trips and restarts only after a successful acknowledgement.

The same on every family

Every manual that describes F52966 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

Questions technicians ask

What does fault F52966 on a SINAMICS G120XA mean?

The number of motors set in p29521 for multi-pump control does not match the digital output settings. The drive coasts down until the fault has been acknowledged.

How do I clear fault F52966?

Change p29521 or the digital outputs so that the motor quantity in p29521 equals the number of digital outputs mapped in r29529, then acknowledge the fault immediately. Without an I/O extended module the outputs are p0730, p0731, p0732 and p0733; with the module, p0734 and p0735 are included as well.

Why does F52966 keep appearing?

One case the manual prints explicitly: p29521 is set greater than four while the CU has no I/O extended module — in that configuration the fault occurs.

Which parameters belong to fault F52966?

p29521 (multi-pump control motor configuration) and the digital output parameters p0730 through p0735; r29529 shows the mapped digital outputs against which the comparison is made.
