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
Verify the MMC-PS card is fully and correctly inserted into the drive's designated card slot.
- 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
Check the MMC-PS card's write protection tab (if present) and ensure it is in the 'unlocked' position.
- 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
Try a different, known-good MMC-PS card to determine if the issue is with the card or the drive's slot.
