cause : EPROM checksum error comes when internal parameter data is corrupted. An EPROM checksum error on a Siemens SINAMICS G120 drive indicates that there is a discrepancy between the checksum value stored in the EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) and the calculated checksum value.
The checksum is a value calculated from the contents of the EPROM to ensure data integrity.
Here's how you can address this issue:
-
Restart the Drive: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve checksum errors. Turn off the drive, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on. This may clear the error if it was caused by a temporary glitch.
-
Check EPROM: Inspect the EPROM module to ensure it is properly seated in its socket and securely connected. If there are any signs of damage to the EPROM or its socket, such as corrosion or bent pins, replace the EPROM as necessary.
-
Check EPROM Contents: Verify that the EPROM contains the correct firmware or configuration data. If the EPROM contents have been corrupted or modified, you may need to reprogram or replace the EPROM with a known good version.
-
Reset to Factory Defaults: If the EPROM checksum error persists and you suspect that incorrect configuration data may be causing the issue, consider resetting the drive to its factory default settings. This will clear any custom configurations and restore the drive to its initial state.
-
Update Firmware: Check if there are any firmware updates available for the drive. Updating the firmware to the latest version may resolve EPROM checksum errors by addressing known bugs or compatibility issues.
- Replace the module.
