Siemens Drive Fault Code 7902
Use a digital multimeter and, if available, a megohmmeter.
If the above points pass but the fault persists, suspect drive hardware:
Before diving into causes, it helps to recognize how this fault manifests: siemens drive fault code 7902
In some applications, immediate trip on overtemperature is too aggressive. You can modify the response:
Warning: Delaying trip can destroy motor winding insulation. Only do this if you have secondary protection (e.g., external thermal switch). Use a digital multimeter and, if available, a megohmmeter
Yes, by setting p0600 = 0 (disable temperature monitoring). However, this removes overtemperature protection – emergency use only.
| Cause | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| PLC stop | Controller switched to STOP mode, stopped sending cyclic data |
| Cable issue | PROFIBUS/PROFINET cable disconnected, damaged, or poorly terminated |
| Connector fault | Loose or broken fieldbus connector (especially PROFIBUS 9-pin D-sub) |
| Configuration mismatch | Telegram configuration (e.g., telegram type, length) differs between drive and PLC |
| Bus overload | Excessive bus cycle time or high bus load causing intermittent telegrams |
| Parameter error | p2040 (telegram monitoring time) set too low |
| Master failure | Fieldbus master (PLC) power cycle or hardware fault |
| Interference | Electromagnetic interference (EMI) on bus cable | In some applications, immediate trip on overtemperature is
