Siemens 301719 - Axis drive power section data incomplete

Axis drive power section data incomplete

The data for the power section are incomplete: - Operation of a power section with an FDD motor requires: MD 1178 $MD_INVERTER_DERATING_SYN (derating factor at 8kHz) - Operation of a power section with an MSD motor requires: MD 1179 $MD_INVERTER_DERATING_ASYN (derating factor at 8kHz) - Operation of a power section with a PE MSD motor requires: MD 1179 $MD_INVERTER_DERATING_ASYN (derating factor at 8kHz) - MD 1175 $MD_INVERTER_THERM_CURR_ASYN (limit current power section for PE MSD) - MD 1177 $MD_INVERTER_RATED_CURR_ASYN (limit current power section for PE MSD) 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

This alarm occurs when the power section data for a drive is incomplete, typically due to missing or incorrect machine data (MD) settings for derating factors. Correct the relevant MD parameters to resolve it.

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 alarm details

    Note the axis and drive number in the alarm message to identify the affected component.

  2. 2

    Verify machine data

    Access MD 1178 and MD 1179 in the control parameters and ensure correct derating values are set for 8kHz operation.

  3. 3

    Save and restart

    Save the corrected parameters, reset the alarm, and restart the system to apply changes.

DIY Feasiblehigh confidence

Call a technician if:

  • ·If the alarm persists after correcting machine data
  • ·If unsure about correct derating values or motor configuration

Prevention

  • Double-check machine data settings during commissioning
  • Document motor and power section configurations for reference

Common Mistakes

  • Overlooking the specific axis/drive in the alarm message
  • Entering incorrect derating values in MD parameters
