External Fault

Siemens · SINAMICS G120 Variable Speed Drive

What does F00085 mean?

An external fault has been triggered, typically through a command input such as control word 2, bit 13. This indicates an issue originating outside the drive itself, requiring investigation of the external control logic or connected devices that are signaling the fault, which can stop the drive unexpectedly.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Investigate the external conditions or devices that are configured to trigger the fault input.

  2. 2

    Check parameter P2106 to identify the source and configuration of the external fault input.

  3. 3

    If desired, disable control word 2, bit 13 as a command source or disable the terminal input for the fault trigger if it's causing nuisance trips.
