Siemens 300858 - Axis drive generator mode: response voltage > switch-off

Axis drive generator mode: response voltage > switch-off

The sum of the values in MD1631: $MD_LINK_VOLTAGE_GEN_ON (response voltage for generator axis) + MD1632: $MD_LINK_VOLTAGE_GEN_HYST (voltage range for generator control) is greater than MD1633: $MD_LINK_VOLTAGE_GEN_OFF (deactivation threshold for generator axis) Control reaction: Interface signals are set. Alarm display.

Root Cause Summary

This alarm occurs when the sum of response voltage and hysteresis exceeds the deactivation threshold for generator mode in the drive parameters. Adjust the values in MD1631, MD1632, or MD1633 to resolve.

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

    Access machine data

    Navigate to the machine data settings in the Siemens control panel.

  2. 2

    Check values

    Verify the values in MD1631, MD1632, and MD1633 for the affected axis and drive.

  3. 3

    Adjust parameters

    Reduce MD1631 or MD1632, or increase MD1633 to ensure the sum is below the threshold.

  4. 4

    Restart system

    Clear the alarm and restart the system to apply changes.

DIY Feasiblehigh confidence

Call a technician if:

  • ·If parameter adjustments do not resolve the alarm
  • ·If unsure about safe parameter values for the machine

Prevention

  • Always backup machine parameters before modifications
  • Document parameter changes during setup with date and reason
  • Validate machine data after updates or imports
  • Perform regular parameter audits against baseline configurations

Common Mistakes

  • Overlooking the specific axis/drive in the alarm message
  • Setting arbitrary values without checking thresholds
