SI Motion: Sensor Module software/hardware incompatible

Siemens · FC1765DC Controller

What does 201673 mean?

The Sensor Module's existing software and/or hardware is not compatible with the higher-level control's safe motion monitoring function. This could be due to outdated firmware or an unsuitable hardware version that does not support the required safety features. While this fault does not immediately trigger a safety stop, it prevents the safe motion monitoring features from functioning correctly, potentially compromising machine safety if not upgraded.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Upgrade the Sensor Module software to the latest compatible version that supports safe motion monitoring.

  2. 2

    If a software upgrade does not resolve the issue, replace the Sensor Module with one that explicitly supports the safe motion monitoring function and is compatible with the higher-level control.
