F4001

Double MST failure shutdown

Indramat · Indradrive

What does F4001 mean?

The drive detected a simultaneous failure of two Master Status Telegrams (MST). This is a critical communication error indicating a severe disruption in the primary communication link between the master controller and the IndraDrive, leading to a shutdown to ensure safety.

Common Causes

  • Complete loss of communication signal on the bus (e.g., PROFIBUS, SERCOS, EtherCAT).
  • Faulty communication cable or connectors.
  • Problem with the master controller's communication interface.
  • Severe electromagnetic interference disrupting bus communication.
  • Defective communication interface on the IndraDrive.
