Synchronization, safety time slices unsuccessful
Siemens · SINAMICS G120
What does F01651 mean?
Synchronization of safety time slices within the Control Unit was unsuccessful, which can prevent proper and safe operation of the drive. This might indicate a transient issue or a deeper problem with the unit's internal timing or processing, affecting safety integrity.
Common Causes
- Internal timing or synchronization error within the Control Unit's safety processor (F-CPU).
- High internal processor load preventing the F-CPU from maintaining real-time safety slice synchronization.
- Electromagnetic interference (EMI) affecting the internal communication or clock signals of the Control Unit.
- Defective internal hardware component responsible for safety time slice management.
- Corrupted firmware or safety program loaded onto the F-CPU.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Perform a power cycle of the entire drive system (Control Unit and Power Module) to attempt re-synchronization.
- 2
Check for external sources of severe EMI close to the drive's Control Unit that could disrupt internal electronics.
- 3
Verify the drive's firmware version is up-to-date and compatible with any connected safety modules or higher-level controllers.
- 4
Reset safety-relevant parameters (e.g., using P9700=0 and then re-commissioning) to clear potential configuration inconsistencies.
- 5
Monitor the drive's diagnostic buffer for other concurrent internal communication faults (e.g., F01662) that might indicate a deeper hardware issue.
