Communication timeout bus module – MOVIMOT®

SEW Eurodrive · Drives

What does 91 mean?

The communications link between the fieldbus interface (MFP/MFI) and the MOVIMOT® inverter is interrupted or experiences a timeout. This system fault is signaled to the PLC as error code 91 dec via the diagnostics channel or status words, and typically triggers a steady 'SYS-F' LED light on the fieldbus interface.

Common Causes

  • Interrupted or faulty electrical communication link between the fieldbus interface (MFP/MFI) and the MOVIMOT® inverter.
  • Missing 24 V supply to the MOVIMOT® inverter.
  • Maintenance switch on the field distributor is set to OFF.
