Indramat · Indradrive

What does F7042 mean?

Common Causes

  • Incorrect switching sequence or command for safety operating modes.
  • Mismatch between the safety PLC's commanded mode and the drive's detected mode.
  • Configuration error in safety parameters defining operating modes.
  • Internal error in the safety module's state machine.
