201590

Drive: Motor maintenance interval expired

Siemens · SINUMERIK 828D

What does 201590 mean?

This alarm indicates that the configured service or maintenance interval for the motor has been reached, based on operating hours (p0650) against the set interval (p0651). While not an immediate operational fault, ignoring this alarm can lead to neglecting scheduled maintenance, increasing the risk of premature component wear, reduced performance, and eventual motor failure due to lack of upkeep.

Common Causes

  • Motor operating hours (r0650) have exceeded the configured maintenance interval (P0651).
  • Parameter P0651 (maintenance interval) was set to a value too low for the application's actual operational demands.
  • The maintenance counter was not reset after previous motor maintenance (P0652 = 0 to reset).
  • Inaccurate measurement of motor operating hours due to sensor or configuration issues.
  • Monitoring function enabled (P0650 > 0) but maintenance action not yet performed.
