Test stop for motion monitoring is required
Siemens · SINAMICS G120
What does F01697 mean?
The set time (p9559) for performing the forced checking procedure (test stop) of the extended functions has been exceeded. This indicates a required safety test is overdue, compromising safety integrity if not performed and potentially leading to a fault state.
Common Causes
- The scheduled test stop for Safe Motion monitoring functions (e.g., SSM, SDI) has not been performed within the interval defined by p9559.
- The required test stop procedure was initiated but failed to complete successfully, perhaps due to an external condition.
- Parameter p9559, which defines the test interval, is set too short for the application's operational rhythm or maintenance schedule.
- An external safety PLC or higher-level controller has failed to trigger the required motion monitoring test.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
1. Initiate the forced checking procedure (test stop) for the extended safety functions as per the safety manual (e.g., by activating specific test inputs).
- 2
2. Monitor the relevant safety status bits (e.g., r9756) to confirm the successful completion of the motion monitoring test stop.
- 3
3. Review parameter p9559 to ensure the test interval is appropriate for the application and maintenance schedule, adjusting it if needed.
- 4
4. Verify the external safety circuit or PLC logic responsible for triggering the motion monitoring test stop is functioning correctly.
- 5
5. Document the completion of the safety test stop in the maintenance logbook.
