How to Solve Siemens Alarm F7802?

DEC. 23, 2025

As long as it is playing Siemens SINUMERIK with SINAMICS this system of friends, it is estimated that the following scene is not unfamiliar: the machine tool is energized, the screen is on, the fan is turning, the lights are no problem, but the drive is “lying down” does not move. No matter how anxious you are, the axis is not enabled, the system coldly give you a pop-up F7802.

At this time, many people's hearts will “thump”: “finished, drive burned?” “Power module hangs?” “Is it necessary to change a set?”

How to Solve Siemens Alarm F7802?
To be honest, in our maintenance desk work for a long time, this scene has seen too much. F7802 alarm, really not the kind of up to give you a "hardware death notice” of the ruthless role. It is more like Siemens system in a particularly cautious tone with you said: "Buddy, do not rush, your equipment power supply this ‘link’ is not ready to go to work it, I can not release.”
 
What is this F7802 saying?
The Siemens manual says "Power unit not ready / Infeed not ready”. Translated into our field vernacular, that is: the drive "power supply part” has not entered the state, the system does not dare to let you move.

You can think of it as a set of sophisticated collaboration. Control unit (such as CU, NCU) is the brain, power unit (power module) is the heart and muscles. Before the brain gives the order, it must repeatedly confirm that the heart blood supply is stable and the muscles are warmed up. This confirmation signal is "Ready” (ready). As long as this "ready” signal is not transmitted back to the brain, even if the program, parameters are correct, F7802 will immediately jump out to stop you.
 
Several common "not ready”
According to our experience over the years, if the F7802 jumps out, in all likelihood, it is the following places that are "off the chain:

1. DC bus status "wrong” (the most common)
This is the number one suspect. Performance is usually: a power, DC bus voltage climbed up particularly slow, or just up on the shivering, can not be stabilized. The system waits and waits, just can't wait for the stable "working voltage”.
The reason behind it is quite real:
* Incoming three-phase power itself is not very stable.
* rectifier / feeder module is old, poor condition.
* DC circuit capacitor aging, can not store electricity (a common problem of old equipment).

The machine looks to be energized, but the driver's heart is clear: I have this bottom of the virtual, not yet "ready”.

2. Power supply module of their own "temper tantrum”
In the system with an independent power supply module, this situation is not uncommon. The module may not be burned or blown, but the internal self-test did not pass, or a protection status (such as over-temperature) is not lifted, or inside a monitoring card "confused”. In short, it is there on its own "self-closed”, can not send a "Ready” signal, the brain to see, F7802 wait.

3. Startup time was "dragged to death”
This is particularly typical of old equipment, or put a long time without powering on the machine. Capacitor performance degradation, low ambient temperature, will make the DC bus voltage build-up slower. The result is that the voltage is actually creeping up, but the system's "window of time” has expired. If the system can't wait, it determines that you are "not ready for timeout” and alarms you directly.

4. DRIVE-CLiQ communication "flash”
This type of problem is the most "annoying”, because it is often not permanent damage. It may be that the cable is not plugged in tightly, that the plug is oxidized, or that there is occasionally poor contact inside the cable. The module itself is fine, but the communication path that reports "I'm OK” is intermittent, the system receives incomplete status messages, and the F7802 comes out.

5. Software and hardware "don't get along”
This usually happens after the hardware has been changed, e.g., modules have been replaced, drivers have been repaired, system has been changed. The hardware has changed, but the software configuration (topology, module address, parameters) forgot to synchronize the update. The system is still waiting for a "non-existent” or "incorrect” module to return the signal, naturally, never wait, the alarm becomes inevitable.
 
Can it be repaired or should it be replaced? The key is to look at the "cause of the problem”
This is the most common question asked by customers. Our experience is:
* If the root cause of the problem is aging capacitors, abnormal status of a power supply board or parameter setting problems, then targeted repairs and adjustments are very valuable and can help you save a lot of money.
* But if the power supply module has obvious physical burnout, repeated repairs of the same hardware failure, or the whole system is too old, then directly replace the new or reliable refurbished parts, but more time-saving, more secure choice.

The real key is not to worry about "repair or replacement”, but to find out why it is "not ready”.
 
Why do we have to "go to the test bench”?
Because the F7802 is so easy to misjudge, at Songwei, any repaired or replaced Siemens drive component must pass the Siemens Test Bench. We do not simply "power on and light up even if good”, but to simulate the real working conditions, see it:
* Whether the DC bus voltage build-up process is clean.
* With some simulated loads, the voltage is stable or not.
* The key "Ready” signal, can it be issued on time and steadily every time.
* Does it perform consistently when switched on and off several times in a row.

Only when all these pass, we dare to say that the component is really "ready”.

A final word

In the end, the F7802 is more of a loyal "security sentry” than a saboteur. It stops not the production, but the potential risk behind it. Most of the F7802 alarms, as long as you follow the "power link” vine, patiently feel down, you can find the knot, and then solve it, the equipment can be restored to stability.

If you are now also stuck in the neck by the F7802, not sure whether the power supply, modules, communications or software configuration in the ghost, do not rush to blindly replace parts. It may be worthwhile to find a like us Songwei, both understand the Siemens system "temperament”, but also have the equipment can actually verify the team, together with this "case” solved.
