Module fault At least one SIMOCODE pro module is not ready for use.

• Connecting cable is defective or has not been plugged in cor-rectly.

• Module is defective. Please replace the module. For this, see chapter 13 "Mounting, Wiring, Interfaces".


Switched off

Motor operating hours >

The configured limit value for the motor operating hours has been exceeded.

Please implement the maintenance measures planned for the feeder.

No start permis-sible

The permitted number of starts in the monitoring timeframe was achieved. The next start should not be carried out until the inter-locking time has expired.

Reset Switched off

Operational pro-tection off (OPO)

The "Operational Protection Off (OPO)" signal is pending. A switched-on motor feeder was switched off. Switching on is not possible as long as the OPO signal is pen-ding.

Reset Switched off; for positioners: QE1 or QE2 switched on until end posi-tion - indepen-dent of the configuration

Overload The motor feeder was over-loaded.

Please check the motor and the application which is driven by the motor. The motor can only be switched on again after the cooling down time has expired or after an emergency start is car-ried out.

Reset, Auto-reset

Switched off

Overload and Unbalance

The motor feeder was overloaded asymmetrically. Possible causes:• Failure of a phase• Fault in the motor windings.

Check the motor feeder and the motor. The motor can only be switched on again after the cooling down time has expired or after an emergency start is car-ried out.

Reset or Auto reset

Switched off

Parameter blok-king during start-up active

The start-up parameter block pre-vents SIMOCODE pro parame-ters which could be saved in the DP Master from being accepted. The block must be set when• SIMOCODE ES

or• SIMATIC PDMis used for parameterizing. The block may not be set when• SIMOCODE pro C/V is integra-

ted in STEP 7 via the SIMOCODE pro object manager (OM) or

• SIMOCODE pro C was parame-terized via GSD.

Parameter is faulty ("Gen. fault" category)

There in an error in the parameter data.

The designation of the faulty parameter can be found on the basis of the number (byte No.) in the system manual chapter A "Tables".


Switched off

Parameter is faulty ("Gen. fault" category)

There is a fault in the parameter data transmitted to the device. Faults can occur in the parameter data, for example, if the device parameterization was not carried out with SIMOCODE ES or SIMATIC PDM.

Check the parameter data (data records 130 133) transmitted to the device to make sure that the contents are correct.

Permissible num-ber of starts exceeded

The permitted number of starts in the monitoring timeframe has already been exceeded. The next start should not be carried out until the interlocking time has expired.

Reset Switched off

Phase unbalance The limit value for the phase unbalance was exceeded. The phase unbalance can lead to an overload. Possible causes:• Failure of a phase• Fault in the motor

windings.

Check the motor feeder and the motor.

Reset Switched off

Power failure monitoring (UVO)

The network failure lasted longer than the configured network failure time.

Reset Switched off

Pre-warning overload (I > 115%)

The motor feeder is in overload operation. It will be tripped within a short period of time due to overloading if this condition continues to per-sist.

Please check the motor and the application which is driven by the motor.

Required function is not supported

At least one parameterized function is not supported by the product version of the basic unit.

Only activate functions that are supported by the product version of the basic unit. For example, SIMOCODE pro V basic units with the product version E01 do not sup-port the voltage measu-ring module, the temperature module and the analog module.

Status - Cooling down time active

The motor feeder was switched off due to overload.

The motor can only be switched on again after the cooling down time has expired.

Status - Emer-gency start exe-cuted

The thermal memory was deleted with the function "Emergency start".

The motor can immedia-tely be switched on again after an overload release.

Status - Test position Feed-back (TPF)

The motor feeder is in the test position. The main current circuit is inter-rupted and the "cold starting" of the feeder can be carried out.

Stop time > The configured limit value for the stop time has been exceeded.

Please implement the maintenance measures planned for the feeder. If possible, switch on the feeder.

Wrong password The SIMOCODE pro parameters are protected by a password. An attempt was made to change the parameters without entering the password.

Please use the correct password for changing the parameters. If you do not know the password, new parame-ters cannot be set until the factory default set-tings have been reset. Please refer to chapter 14.3.4 "Resetting the Basic Factory Default Settings" for a descrip-tion of the factory default settings.
