Siemens 6RA70 alarm F004: Causes and Troubleshooting Guide
If you're encountering the Siemens 6RA70 alarm F004, it's likely due to a power supply issue. This alarm is commonly seen when the DC governor displays F004 and cannot be reset. Understanding the reasons behind this fault and how to fix it can save time and prevent further damage to your system.
**What Causes F004?**
The F004 alarm is triggered when the three-phase input voltage drops by approximately 20%. The system uses voltage divider resistors to monitor the incoming voltage and sends the signal to the CPU for comparison. If the voltage is too low, the alarm activates. Other causes may include a blown thyristor fast-acting protector, an open power sampling signal, or a faulty CUD1 control board. In some cases, the F004 code appears immediately upon powering up, making it impossible to reset until the issue is resolved.
**Troubleshooting Steps for F004:**
1. Check the display value of R015. Under normal conditions, the input voltage should be around 380–400V. If it’s lower, there may be an issue with the power supply.
2. Replace the pulse-triggering power board if it shows signs of damage or malfunction.
3. If the problem persists, consider replacing the CUD1 control board, as it could be the source of the fault.
Additionally, check the armature power supply for phase voltage faults. If the armature voltage is not stable, the device will fail to start, and F004 will appear. Common issues include a blown fuse on the AC side of the armature circuit or a faulty power component.
Other related faults may also occur, such as F005 (excitation circuit fault), F035 (driving stall), F036 (no armature current), F037 (motor overheating), and F038 (overweight condition). Each has its own set of possible causes, including contactor disconnection, motor overload, or encoder failure.
By systematically checking each component and following the troubleshooting steps, you can identify and resolve the root cause of the F004 alarm effectively. Always ensure proper safety measures are taken when working with electrical systems.
