Copying the SI parameters rejected
Siemens · SINAMICS G120
What does F01663 mean?
The attempt to copy Safety Integrated (SI) parameters was rejected. This can happen if p9700 is not 0, or if safety functions (p9501, p9601) are active, preventing critical parameter changes. This can lead to an inconsistent or un-saved configuration, especially after modifying safety settings.
Common Causes
- Parameter P9700 (Safety acknowledgement) is not set to 0, indicating an outstanding safety acknowledgment is required.
- Safety functions are currently active (e.g., P9501, P9601 are enabled and operational), preventing parameter modification.
- The drive is not in a safe operating state (e.g., STO not active) when attempting to copy safety-related parameters.
- Write protection (e.g., P0003 or via HMI) is active, preventing changes to parameters.
- Inconsistent firmware versions between the Control Unit and a connected safety module.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Ensure parameter P9700 (Safety acknowledgement) is set to 0 before attempting to copy Safety Integrated parameters.
- 2
Deactivate all active safety functions (e.g., set P9501 to 0) temporarily, if permissible by the safety concept, before copying parameters.
- 3
Verify the drive is in a safe operating state (e.g., STO activated) if required by the system for parameter changes.
- 4
Check for and disable any write protection settings (e.g., P0003 or higher-level controller lock) that might prevent parameter changes.
- 5
Perform a power cycle of the drive and then retry the parameter copy operation after ensuring the above conditions are met.
