F00063

Par Cl. MMC-PS contents incompatible

Siemens · SINAMICS G120

What does F00063 mean?

The parameter cloning file found on the MMC-PS is from an incompatible drive type. Although the file exists, its parameters cannot be applied to the current drive, preventing proper configuration and startup due to a mismatch in hardware or firmware versions.

Common Causes

  • The parameter file on the MMC-PS was saved from a different drive model or family (e.g., a SINAMICS G120 file on a SINAMICS S120 drive).
  • Major firmware version mismatch between the drive and the parameter file on the MMC-PS.
  • The parameter file is intended for a different power size or specific hardware variant of the same drive type.
  • The parameter file contains settings for optional modules (e.g., fieldbus cards, I/O extensions) not present in the target drive.
  • Corruption of the parameter file header, leading to an incorrect drive type identification.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify that the drive model and firmware version exactly match the model and firmware version for which the parameter file was originally created.

  2. 2

    Use a parameter file specifically generated for the current drive's model, power rating, and firmware version.

  3. 3

    If parameters need to be transferred between different drive variants, use conversion tools provided by the manufacturer (e.g., STARTER, TIA Portal) to adapt the file.

  4. 4

    Perform a factory reset on the drive, then manually input parameters or clone from a known compatible source.

  5. 5

    Ensure the MMC-PS card is functioning correctly and not causing data misreads; try a different card with a known-good, compatible parameter file.
