F00064

Drive attempted to do an automatic clone during startup.

Siemens · SINAMICS G120

What does F00064 mean?

The drive attempted to perform an automatic parameter clone during startup but failed because the `Clone00.bin` file was not found in the `/USER/SINAMICS/DATA` directory on the MMC. This prevents automatic configuration, requiring manual intervention to either provide the file or disable the cloning function.

Common Causes

  • The `Clone00.bin` file is missing from the `/USER/SINAMICS/DATA` directory on the MMC card.
  • The MMC card is not correctly inserted or is faulty, preventing access to the file system during startup.
  • The `Clone00.bin` file is corrupted or incomplete, making it unusable for the automatic cloning process.
  • Drive parameters (e.g., P00004 for Master ID or P00003 for Cloning source) are incorrectly configured, leading to an auto-clone attempt without a valid source.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    1. Verify the presence and integrity of the `Clone00.bin` file in the `/USER/SINAMICS/DATA` directory on the drive's MMC using a file browser or STARTER/TIA Portal.

  2. 2

    2. Power down the drive, then carefully re-insert the MMC card, ensuring it is seated correctly in the slot, and power up.

  3. 3

    3. Transfer a known good `Clone00.bin` file to the MMC card's `/USER/SINAMICS/DATA` directory from a reliable backup source.

  4. 4

    4. Check drive parameters P00004 (Master ID) and P00003 (Cloning source) for correct configuration related to automatic cloning functions.

  5. 5

    5. Perform a manual cloning operation from a known good configuration file via STARTER or TIA Portal to ensure parameter consistency.
