Axis drive safe velocity exceeded

Siemens SINAMICS drive alarm 300914: Axis drive safe velocity exceeded. This alarm indicates a fault condition in the SINAMICS servo drive system. Refer to the Siemens SINAMICS fault list documentation for the complete remedy.

Root Cause Summary

This alarm occurs when an axis exceeds the safe velocity limit defined in safety-related machine data, often due to incorrect program parameters or safety configuration issues. SAFETY CRITICAL: Do not modify safety limits without proper authorization and risk assessment.

Safety

  • Refer to Siemens documentation
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Ensure machine is in safe state before proceeding. This is a safety-related alarm.

  2. 2

    Locate offending block

    Check the alarm message for the specific program line and axis causing the issue.

  3. 3

    Adjust feedrate

    Reduce the programmed feedrate or velocity in the identified block to comply with safe limits.

  4. 4

    Test and restart

    Clear the alarm, simulate the program in safe mode, and restart to verify the fix.

Service Recommendedmedium confidence

Call a technician if:

  • ·Always contact authorized personnel for safety parameter modifications
  • ·If program adjustments do not resolve the alarm
  • ·If alarm persists after program corrections
  • ·Before modifying any safety-related machine data

Prevention

  • Always simulate programs to catch velocity issues before execution
  • Verify machine data settings match operational requirements
  • Regular safety system verification and documentation
  • Ensure operators understand safe velocity limits

Common Mistakes

  • Overlooking the specific axis mentioned in the alarm
  • Setting unrealistic feedrates without checking safe limits
