F00055

BOP-EEPROM Fault

Siemens · SINAMICS G120

What does F00055 mean?

A read or write failure occurred in the EEPROM of the Basic Operator Panel (BOP) during parameter cloning or saving. This could be due to a faulty BOP, an EEPROM that is too small for the stored parameters, or an incompatibility, leading to an inability to store or retrieve non-volatile parameters essential for drive configuration.

Common Causes

  • Corrupted data within the BOP's EEPROM memory preventing successful read/write operations.
  • Physical damage or manufacturing defect of the BOP's internal EEPROM chip.
  • Interruption of power supply to the BOP during a parameter save or cloning operation.
  • Electromagnetic interference (EMI) causing data corruption during EEPROM access.
  • Attempting to store an excessively large parameter set into a BOP with limited EEPROM capacity.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Remove and re-insert the BOP to ensure a secure connection to the drive's interface port.

  2. 2

    Attempt to re-initialize or factory reset the BOP if the option is available within its menu (e.g., 'Restore Defaults').

  3. 3

    Try to perform a parameter cloning operation from the drive to the BOP again, ensuring stable power supply.

  4. 4

    Replace the existing BOP with a known-good BOP to isolate whether the fault is with the panel or the drive's interface.

  5. 5

    Check for sources of strong electromagnetic interference near the drive and BOP (e.g., unshielded power cables, welding equipment).
