Power unit: Configuration not supported

What does 230020 mean?

This fault signifies that the requested configuration for the power unit is not supported by its hardware or firmware. Possible causes include requesting unsupported autonomous operation, an impermissible DRIVE-CLiQ timing, detection of an incompatible PM260 PS-ASIC version, or an incompatible combination of power unit and Control Unit/Adapter. Initialization failure due to premature Control Unit withdrawal can also trigger this. Operating with an unsupported configuration can lead to system instability, malfunction, or prevent the drive from starting altogether.

• Attempting to enable a function (e.g., 'Autonomous Operation Mode', P0111=1) that is not supported by the specific hardware variant or firmware version of the power unit.
• Mismatch between the configured drive type (e.g., P0100 parameter) in the engineering software and the actual hardware of the power unit.
• Firmware version of the power unit is outdated and does not support the specific features or configuration enabled in the project.
• Incorrectly attempting to operate the power unit without a compatible control unit (CU) if it requires one for specific configurations.
• Internal hardware component failure within the power unit, causing it to misidentify its capabilities or configuration.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Check the power unit's hardware version (e.g., on nameplate) and compare it with the selected hardware in the engineering software (e.g., STARTER/Tia Portal project).

2. 2

   Read out the firmware version of the power unit (r0018[0]) and consult the product manual for compatibility with the desired features.

3. 3

   Update the power unit's firmware to the latest compatible version using the engineering software's firmware update function.

4. 4

   Verify parameter P0100 (Motor type) and P0101 (Power unit type) are correctly set according to the installed power unit and motor.

5. 5

   Review the project configuration for any advanced features or operating modes (e.g., field weakening, P1300) that might not be supported by the current hardware/firmware combination.
