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
Remove and re-insert the BOP to ensure a secure connection to the drive's interface port.
- 2
Attempt to re-initialize or factory reset the BOP if the option is available within its menu (e.g., 'Restore Defaults').
- 3
Try to perform a parameter cloning operation from the drive to the BOP again, ensuring stable power supply.
- 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
Check for sources of strong electromagnetic interference near the drive and BOP (e.g., unshielded power cables, welding equipment).
