A01654

PROFIBUS configuration differs

Siemens · SINAMICS G120

What does A01654 mean?

The PROFIsafe configuration in the higher-level control differs from that in the drive. This inconsistency can lead to communication errors or safety function issues, preventing reliable and safe operation. Specific alarm values (r2124=1 or r2124=2) provide more detail.

Common Causes

  • Mismatched PROFIsafe addresses (P60021) between the drive and the safety PLC.
  • Different PROFIsafe telegram types (P60022) configured in the drive and the safety PLC.
  • Inconsistent safety program checksums due to changes made in the PLC or drive without updating the other.
  • The safety PLC configuration was downloaded without acknowledging changes in the drive's safety parameters (e.g., P9700).
  • Hardware replacement of a drive component (e.g., Control Unit) which altered the internal safety configuration without re-downloading the safety program from the PLC.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Compare the PROFIsafe address (P60021) in the drive with the address configured for the drive in the safety PLC's hardware configuration.

  2. 2

    Verify the PROFIsafe telegram type (P60022) in the drive against the type expected by the safety PLC for the safety I/O module.

  3. 3

    Perform an upload of the current safety configuration from the drive and compare it against the safety PLC's project data (if software allows).

  4. 4

    Initiate a safety acknowledgment procedure in the drive (e.g., P9700=1) to confirm the safety configuration after changes.

  5. 5

    If discrepancies persist, re-download the safety PLC program to the safety controller to ensure consistency with the drive's configuration.
