Error 8501 "setpoint time out error" Sinamics G120X drives

Taf

I am working with 4 Sinamics G120X drives. I am getting the Error 8501 "setpoint time out error" frequently & each time that i download the code in my PLC (PLCext control AXC F 3152).

I check the wiring connections and everything is okay.

Please does someone here have an idea of what could be the problem and out to solve it?

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks

Is there a parameter in the GSDML file for "PROFINET response monitoring time" ?

Thank you for your feedback Martin.

In the GSDML file we have these parameters :

<TimingProperties SendClock="16 32 64 128" ReductionRatio="1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512"/>

<RT_Class3TimingProperties SendClock="8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64 72 80 88 96 104 112 120 128" ReductionRatioPow2="1 2 4 8 16"/>

Find attached the File

I suspect that the issue can be addressed by adjusting the the drive communication settings. I hope that Siemens will be able to help you with that.
