F00057

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. 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. 2

    Perform a factory reset of the BOP via its menu options if possible, then try to clone parameters again.

  3. 3

    Check the drive's firmware version and the BOP's compatibility (e.g., using part numbers) to ensure they are matched.

  4. 4

    Replace the BOP with a new or known-good unit and attempt the cloning process.

  5. 5

    If transferring parameters via external software, ensure the parameter file is valid and for the correct drive model.
