F107

Status of the axis: current controller not ready

Beckhoff · AX5000 Servo Drive

What does F107 mean?

This error signifies that the current controller for a specific axis is not in an operational state, preventing the motor from being controlled. A frequent cause is the "Commutation Mode" parameter (P-0-0150) being incorrectly set to "0: No commutation position," which is a safety setting to inhibit motor activation. The axis cannot be enabled until this parameter is correctly configured and a valid commutation offset is established, indicating a critical setup issue.

Common Causes

  • Commutation Mode parameter (e.g., P-0-0005) is incorrectly set for the connected motor type or feedback device.
  • Motor encoder feedback signal is missing or corrupted due to a disconnected encoder cable or faulty encoder.
  • Drive enable input is not active, holding the current controller in a disabled state.
  • Internal drive hardware fault on the current control board preventing its initialization.
  • Motor or drive overtemperature condition preventing the current controller from activating.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify the Commutation Mode parameter (e.g., P-0-0005) matches the motor and feedback type (e.g., 'Encoder' for a servo motor).

  2. 2

    Check continuity and shielding of the motor encoder cable between the drive's X10 terminal and the motor's encoder connector. Measure encoder supply voltage (e.g., 5VDC or 24VDC) at the motor connector.

  3. 3

    Confirm the drive enable input (e.g., terminal X3/PIN1) is receiving a valid high signal (e.g., 24VDC) from the safety circuit or PLC.

  4. 4

    Monitor drive internal temperature (e.g., S-0-0004) and motor winding temperature (e.g., S-0-0003) to ensure they are within operational limits (e.g., below 70°C).

  5. 5

    Perform a drive factory reset via parameter P-0-0000 and reconfigure essential motor parameters according to nameplate data.
