Troubleshooting

Fault tracing 01

Fault tracing

What this chapter contains

The chapter lists the warning and fault messages including possible causes and

corrective actions. The causes of most warnings and faults can be identified and

corrected using the information in this chapter. If not, contact an ABB service

representative. If you have a possibility to use the Drive composer PC tool, send the

Support package created by the Drive composer to the ABB service representative.

Warnings and faults are listed below in separate tables. Each table is sorted by

warning/fault code.

Safety

WARNING! Only qualified electricians are allowed to service the drive. Read

the instructions in chapter Safety instructions at the beginning of the Hardware

manual of the drive before working on the drive.

Indications



Warnings and faults

Warnings and faults indicate an abnormal drive status. The codes and names of

active warnings and faults are displayed on the control panel of the drive as well as in

the Drive composer PC tool. Only the codes of warnings and faults are available over

fieldbus.

Warnings do not need to be reset; they stop showing when the cause of the warning

ceases. Warnings do not trip the drive and it will continue to operate the motor.

02 Fault tracing

Faults latch inside the drive and cause the drive to trip, and the motor stops. After the

cause of a fault has been removed, the fault can be reset from a selectable source

(Menu - Primary settings - Advanced functions - Reset faults manually (Reset

faults manually from:) on the panel; or parameter 31.11 Fault reset selection) such

as the control panel, Drive composer PC tool, the digital inputs of the drive, or

fieldbus. Reseting the fault creates an event 64FF Fault reset. After the reset, the

drive can be restarted.

Note that some faults require a reboot of the control unit either by switching the power

off and on, or using parameter 96.08 Control board boot – this is mentioned in the

fault listing wherever appropriate.



Pure events

In addition to warnings and faults, there are pure events that are only recorded in the

event log of the drive. The codes of these events are included in the Warning

messages table on page (388).



Editable messages

For external events, the action (fault or warning), name and the message text can be

edited. To specify external events, select Menu - Primary settings - Advanced

functions - External events.

Contact information can also be included and the text edited. To specify contact

information, select Menu - Primary settings - Clock, region, display - Contact info

view.

Warning/fault history



Event log

All indications are stored in the event log with a time stamp and other information.

The event log stores information on

• the last 8 fault recordings, that is, faults that tripped the drive or fault resets

• the last 10 warnings or pure events that occurred.

See section Viewing warning/fault information on page 387.

Auxiliary codes

Some events generate an auxiliary code that often helps in pinpointing the problem.

On the control panel, the auxiliary code is stored as part of the details of the event; in

the Drive composer PC tool, the auxiliary code is shown in the event listing.

Fault tracing 03



Viewing warning/fault information

The drive is able to store a list of the active faults actually causing the drive to trip at

the present time. The drive also stores a list of faults and warnings that have

previously occurred.

For each stored fault, the panel shows the fault code, time and values of nine

parameters (actual signals and status words) stored at the time of the fault. The

values for the latest fault are in parameters 05.80...05.88.

For active faults and warnings, see

•Menu - Diagnostics - Active faults

•Menu - Diagnostics - Active warnings

•Options - Active faults

•Options - Active warnings

• parameters in group 04 Warnings and faults (page 161).

For previously occurred faults and warnings, see

•Menu -Diagnostics - Fault & event log

• parameters in group 04 Warnings and faults (page 161).

The event log can also be accessed (and reset) using the Drive composer PC tool.

See Drive composer PC tool user’s manual (3AUA0000094606 [English]).

QR code generation for mobile service application

A QR code (or a series of QR codes) can be generated by the drive for display on the

control panel. The QR code contains drive identification data, information on the

latest events, and values of status and counter parameters. The code can be read

with a mobile device containing the ABB service application, which then sends the

data to ABB for analysis. For more information on the application, contact your local

ABB service representative.

To generate the QR code, select Menu - System info - QR code.

Note: If a control panel which does not support QR code generation (version older

than v.6.4x) is used, the QR code menu entry will disappear totally and will not be

available any longer either with control panels supporting the QR code generation.
