F01682

Monitoring function not supported

Siemens · SINAMICS G120

What does F01682 mean?

A configured monitoring function is not supported by the current hardware or software version. This indicates a mismatch between desired functionality and system capabilities, preventing the function from operating correctly or safely.

Common Causes

  • Attempting to enable a monitoring function (e.g., Safe Brake Control SBC, Safe Operating Stop SOS) that requires an optional hardware module not installed on the drive.
  • The drive's firmware version is outdated and does not include support for the specific safety or monitoring function being configured.
  • Parameterization of a function (e.g., p9500 (SLS enable)) for which the connected motor module or control unit lacks the necessary processing capability.
  • Incorrect selection of the drive type or control unit type during initial setup in the engineering software (e.g., STARTER).

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    1. Verify that the installed hardware modules (e.g., Control Unit, safety modules) are compatible with the desired monitoring function.

  2. 2

    2. Check the drive's firmware version (r0018) and compare it to the minimum version required for the monitoring function as per the manufacturer's documentation.

  3. 3

    3. If the firmware is outdated, perform a firmware update to a compatible version using commissioning software (e.g., STARTER).

  4. 4

    4. Deactivate the unsupported monitoring function by setting its enabling parameter (e.g., p9500) to 0 or an equivalent 'disabled' state.

  5. 5

    5. Review the project configuration in the engineering software to ensure the correct hardware components are selected.
