Axis drive active without NC axis assignment

Siemens SINAMICS drive alarm 300010: Axis drive active without NC axis assignment. The encoder or position measuring system connected to the SINAMICS drive has reported a fault. This prevents reliable position feedback for the affected axis.

Safety

  • Refer to Siemens documentation
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Common Causes

  • Encoder cable damaged or connector loose at drive or encoder end
  • Encoder signal amplitude below minimum specification — contamination or cable issue
  • SSI or EnDat measuring system communication fault
  • Encoder supply voltage out of specification
  • Measuring system hardware failure

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Check encoder/measuring system cable for damage and reseat connectors.
  2. 2Clean the measuring system reading head and scale if contamination is present.
  3. 3Verify encoder supply voltage at the connector.
  4. 4Check SINAMICS drive diagnostics for detailed fault sub-codes.
  5. 5Replace encoder cable first; replace sensor head if cable checks out.
