Siemens 25105 - Axis measuring systems differ considerably

Axis measuring systems differ considerably

Siemens SINUMERIK alarm 25105: Axis measuring systems differ considerably. Detailed remedy is being verified against the current Siemens diagnostics manual.

Root Cause Summary

SINUMERIK alarm 25105 indicates the DC link voltage in the drive system has dropped below the minimum threshold defined in parameter P-CHAN-00022. This typically occurs when the main power supply voltage is insufficient or when there are issues with the drive's internal DC bus capacitors or rectifier circuits.

Safety

  • Drive/power/encoder circuit: hazardous voltages may remain in the DC link after power-off. Lock out / tag out, wait for discharge per the drive documentation, and use qualified personnel only.

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Check AC Input Voltage

    Navigate to Diagnostics > Drive > Power Supply and verify the AC input voltage readings against nameplate specifications (typically 380-480V for 3-phase systems).

    Ensure proper PPE and lockout/tagout procedures before checking electrical connections.

  2. 2

    Verify Power Supply Parameters

    Check MD30100 (rated motor voltage) and MD30200 (minimum DC link voltage) in the drive parameter settings via HMI > Parameters > Machine Data.

    Compare actual DC link voltage in r0026 with the threshold in MD30200 to confirm undervoltage condition.

  3. 3

    Inspect Main Contactor and Fuses

    Check the main power contactor operation and verify all input fuses are intact using the electrical cabinet diagnostics.

    Power down the system completely before inspecting fuses or contactors.

DIY Feasiblemedium confidence

Call a technician if:

  • ·DC link capacitor replacement needed
  • ·Rectifier circuit hardware failure confirmed
  • ·Multiple drive faults present
  • ·Electrical measurements show dangerous conditions

Prevention

  • Regular monitoring of DC link voltage trends via r0026
  • Maintain proper ambient temperature around drive cabinets
  • Ensure stable incoming power supply quality
  • Schedule periodic capacitor replacement based on operating hours

Common Mistakes

  • Ignoring gradual DC link voltage degradation trends
  • Not checking brake resistor condition during troubleshooting
  • Assuming power supply issues without verifying actual voltage measurements
  • Overlooking parameter configuration after drive replacement
