A01698

Safety commis./reset act.

Siemens · SINAMICS G120

What does A01698 mean?

The safety reset or safety commissioning process is currently active, indicated by parameter p0010 = 95. This prevents normal drive operation until the safety procedure is properly concluded, ensuring that all safety configurations are finalized and verified for safe machine control.

Common Causes

  • Parameter P0010 is actively set to 95 (Safety commissioning menu) by an operator or through software, requiring manual completion.
  • A safety-related change was made, and the drive automatically entered commissioning mode, waiting for acknowledgement (P0976).
  • Incomplete or interrupted safety commissioning sequence from a previous attempt, leaving the drive in an active state.
  • Drive was powered off during an active safety commissioning process, causing it to remain in this state on restart.
  • Software glitch causing the drive to falsely register an active commissioning state, even without recent changes.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    1. Navigate to parameter P0010 and ensure it is not set to 95; if it is, complete the safety commissioning steps as per the drive manual or set it back to 0.

  2. 2

    2. Acknowledge any pending safety parameter changes by setting parameter P0976 (Safety acknowledge) to the required value (e.g., 1 or 2).

  3. 3

    3. Review the drive's safety manual for the specific procedure to correctly exit the 'Safety commissioning active' state.

  4. 4

    4. Save all parameters to non-volatile memory (e.g., P0971=1) after confirming the safety configuration and commissioning status.

  5. 5

    5. Power cycle the drive and check P0010 again to ensure the safety commissioning mode has been exited successfully.
