SEW Eurodrive · MCBSM

What does 36 mean?

Immediate switch-off with inhibit. This fault occurs if an incorrect option card is used, the setpoint/control signal source or operating mode is not permitted for the option card, or a required option is entirely missing. This prevents proper system functionality and operation, necessitating a restart after correction.

Common Causes

  • A required option module is not physically installed or detected.
  • Option slot is empty where a module is expected by configuration.
  • Faulty connection of the option module.
  • Configuration parameter (e.g., P1-02) expects an option that is not present.
