BOP fault
Siemens · SINAMICS G120
What does F00057 mean?
The Basic Operator Panel (BOP) is either empty (no parameters stored) or contains invalid data, causing a failure during parameter cloning. This prevents the drive from being configured correctly using the BOP, potentially leading to incorrect operation or startup issues.
Common Causes
- The BOP's internal memory (EEPROM) is empty or was factory reset, containing no valid parameter set.
- The parameter data stored on the BOP is corrupted or incomplete.
- An incomplete parameter cloning operation previously led to invalid data being saved to the BOP.
- Hardware malfunction of the BOP itself, causing data integrity issues.
- Attempting to clone an incompatible parameter set from the drive to the BOP (e.g., version mismatch).
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Attempt to upload parameters from the drive to the BOP (e.g., if the drive has a valid set) to refresh the BOP's data.
- 2
Perform a factory reset of the BOP via its menu options if possible, then try to clone parameters again.
- 3
Check the drive's firmware version and the BOP's compatibility (e.g., using part numbers) to ensure they are matched.
- 4
Replace the BOP with a new or known-good unit and attempt the cloning process.
- 5
If transferring parameters via external software, ensure the parameter file is valid and for the correct drive model.
