F00061

Par Cl. MMC-PS not fitted Fault

Siemens · SINAMICS G120

What does F00061 mean?

The parameter cloning process using the MMC-PS (Memory Card Parameter Save) has failed due to various reasons, including an incorrectly formatted or missing MMC-PS, an inability to write to the MMC, or a corrupted cloning file. This prevents successful transfer of drive parameters, impacting drive configuration and operation.

Common Causes

  • The Memory Card Parameter Save (MMC-PS) card is not physically inserted into the drive's slot.
  • The MMC-PS card is not properly seated in its slot (e.g., partially inserted).
  • The MMC-PS card is damaged, unformatted, or contains an unrecognized file system.
  • The MMC-PS card is write-protected, preventing parameter saving.
  • A faulty MMC-PS slot or communication interface on the drive.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify the MMC-PS card is fully and correctly inserted into the drive's designated card slot.

  2. 2

    Inspect the MMC-PS card for physical damage (e.g., bent pins, cracked casing) and ensure it's the correct type (e.g., SD card specified by manufacturer).

  3. 3

    Check the MMC-PS card's write protection tab (if present) and ensure it is in the 'unlocked' position.

  4. 4

    Attempt to format the MMC-PS card using a PC (e.g., FAT32) or via the drive's menu if available, then retry cloning.

  5. 5

    Try a different, known-good MMC-PS card to determine if the issue is with the card or the drive's slot.
