Siemens 840D 101144 - MDx118 MOTOR_STANDSTILL_CURRENT = 0
Alarm 101144 indicates that the motor standstill current parameter (MDx118 MOTOR_STANDSTILL_CURRENT) has been set to zero or is missing in the motor data set. This parameter is critical for proper holding torque and servo control when the motor is stationary, and a zero value prevents proper drive initialization.
Siemens 840D 101144 - MDx118 MOTOR_STANDSTILL_CURRENT = 0
MDx118 MOTOR_STANDSTILL_CURRENT = 0
Siemens SINUMERIK operator message 101144: MDx118 MOTOR_STANDSTILL_CURRENT = 0. This is an informational message from the SINUMERIK control indicating a system status or operation result that may require operator action.
Root Cause Summary
Alarm 101144 indicates that the motor standstill current parameter (MDx118 MOTOR_STANDSTILL_CURRENT) has been set to zero or is missing in the motor data set. This parameter is critical for proper holding torque and servo control when the motor is stationary, and a zero value prevents proper drive initialization.
Safety
Causes and Fixes
Navigate to HMI Commissioning mode → Drive → Motor Data → Select affected axis motor data set (MD1xx series).
Locate MD118 MOTOR_STANDSTILL_CURRENT parameter and verify current value is 0 or blank.
Enter correct motor standstill current value from motor nameplate or manufacturer datasheet (typically 60-100% of rated motor current for synchronous motors).
Incorrect standstill current values can cause motor overheating or inadequate holding torque
Save motor data, perform NCK reset (Power ON with NCK reset), and execute drive optimization if required.
