F01030

Sign-of-life failure for master control

Siemens · DCM

What does F01030 mean?

The drive has lost its "sign-of-life" signal from an active PC master control within the configured monitoring time, indicating a communication interruption. Consequently, master control has reverted to the BICO interconnection. This fault stops PC-based control, potentially leading to an uncontrolled state or production halt.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Verify the communication link (e.g., Ethernet, PROFIBUS) between the PC master control and the drive.

  2. 2

    Adjust the monitoring time setting on the PC master control software; if necessary, increase it, but be aware that a longer time delays fault detection.

  3. 3

    Confirm the PC master control application is running and actively communicating, and check its internal logs for errors.
