Siemens 27224 - PROFIsafe: F module MD [ ] - MD [ ]: double assignment of PROFIsafe

PROFIsafe: F module MD - MD: double assignment of PROFIsafe

In the NCK MD or in the S7 F parameters, the same PROFIsafe address has been parameterized for the F modules parameterized in the specified machine data. Therefore, no clear communication link is possible between F master and F slave Control reaction: Mode group not ready. Channel not ready. NC Start disable in this channel. Interface signals are set. Alarm display. NC Stop on alarm.

Root Cause Summary

Alarm 27224 fires when identical PROFIsafe addresses are assigned to multiple F modules within the NCK machine data (MD) or S7 F parameters, preventing unique identification and secure communication between the PROFIsafe master and slave devices. This double assignment violates PROFIsafe protocol requirements for distinct device addressing.

Safety

  • Only qualified personnel should diagnose and clear control alarms; follow the machine builder's safety procedures and lockout/tagout where hardware work is required.

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Access NCK Machine Data via HMI menu: Maintenance > Machine Data > Category filter 'PROFIsafe' or search MD numbers in range 16500-16599 and 20060-20069.

  2. 2

    Document all F module addresses currently assigned. Create a spreadsheet listing each F module instance with its corresponding PROFIsafe address parameter value to identify duplicates.

    Do not modify data yet; first identify the conflicting entries.

  3. 3

    For each duplicate, reassign a unique PROFIsafe address value (typically 0-65535 range, depending on your network topology). Ensure sequential or non-overlapping assignment across all F modules in the system.

    Coordinate address changes with your PROFIsafe network documentation to avoid conflicts with other devices.

  4. 4

    Save machine data, perform a warm restart (POWER OFF > 10 seconds > POWER ON) of the SINUMERIK 840D control, and verify alarm 27224 is cleared from the alarm list.
