ABB ACS Drive Fault List

[dave2]

I am having random issues on an ABB ACS 550 drive, does anyone have the ABB ACS fault list handy? Please post if you have something. I have more than one fault occurring. thanks!

ABB ACS 550 Fault and Alarm List

Just and FYI, ABB considers faults to be critical and alarms to be less severe so they are considered advisory.

Fault Number: 1 Fault name: OVERCURRENT Fault/Alarm Description: Output current is excessive. Check for and correct: Excessive motor load, Insufficient acceleration time (parameters 2202 ACCELER TIME 1 and 2205 ACCELER TIME 2), Faulty motor, motor cables or connections.

Fault Number: 2 Fault name: DC OVERVOLT Fault/Alarm Description: Intermediate circuit DC voltage is excessive. Check for and correct: Static or transient overvoltages in the input power supply, Insufficient deceleration time (parameters 2203 DECELER TIME 1 and 2206 DECELER TIME 2), Undersized brake chopper (if present).
• Verify that overvoltage controller is ON (using parameter 2005).

Fault Number: 3 Fault name: DEV OVERTEMP Fault/Alarm Description: Drive heatsink is overheated. Temperature is at or above limit. R1...R4: 115 °C (239 °F) R5, R6: 125 °C (257 °F) Check for and correct: Fan failure, Obstructions in the air flow, Dirt or dust coating on the heat sink, Excessive ambient temperature, Excessive motor load

Fault Number: 4 Fault name: SHORT CIRC Fault/Alarm Description: Fault current. Check for and correct: A short-circuit in the motor cable(s) or motor, Supply disturbances

Fault Number: 5 Fault name: RESERVED Fault/Alarm Description: Fault Not used

Fault Number: 6 Fault name: DC UNDERVOLT Fault/Alarm Description: Intermediate circuit DC voltage is not sufficient. Check for and correct: Missing phase in the input power supply, Blown fuse, Undervoltage on mains.

Fault Number: 7 Fault name: AI1 LOSS Fault/Alarm Description: Analog input 1 loss. Analog input value is less than AI1 FAULT LIMIT (3021). Check for and correct: Source and connection for analog input, Parameter settings for AI1 FAULT LIMIT (3021) and 3001 AI<MIN FUNCTION

Fault Number: 8 Fault name: AI2 LOSS  Fault/Alarm Description: Analog input 2 loss. Analog input value is less than AI2 FAULT LIMIT (3022). Check for and correct: Source and connection for analog input, Parameter settings for AI2 FAULT LIMIT (3022) and 3001 AI<MIN FUNCTION.

Fault Number: 9 Fault name: MOT OVERTEMP Fault/Alarm Description: Motor is too hot, based on either the drive's estimate or on temperature feedback. Check for overloaded motor, Adjust the parameters used for the estimate (3005...3009), Check the temperature sensors and Group 35: MOTOR TEMP MEAS parameters.

Fault Number: 10 Fault name: PANEL LOSS Fault/Alarm Description: Panel communication is lost and either: Drive is in local control mode (the control panel displays LOC), or Drive is in remote control mode (REM) and is parameterized to accept start/stop, direction or reference from the control panel. To correct check: Communication lines and connections, Parameter 3002 PANEL COMM ERR, Parameters in Group 10: START/STOP/DIR and Group 11: REFERENCE SELECT (if drive operation is REM).

Fault Number: 11 Fault name: ID RUN FAIL Fault/Alarm Description: The Motor ID Run was not completed successfully. Check for and correct: Motor connections, Motor parameters 9905...9909

Fault Number: 12 Fault name: MOTOR STALL Fault/Alarm Description: Motor or process stall. Motor is operating in the stall region. Check for and correct: Excessive load,  Insufficient motor power, Parameters 3010...3012.

Fault Number: 13 Fault name: RESERVED Fault/Alarm Description: Fault Not Used

Fault Number: 14 Fault name: EXT FAULT 1 Fault/Alarm Description: Digital input defined to report first external fault is active. See parameter
3003 EXTERNAL FAULT 1.

Fault Number: 15 Fault name: EXT FAULT 2 Fault/Alarm Description: Digital input defined to report second external fault is active. See parameter
3004 EXTERNAL FAULT 2

Fault Number: 16 Fault name: EARTH FAULT Fault/Alarm Description: Possible ground fault detected in the motor or motor cables. The drive monitors for ground faults while the drive is running and while the drive is not running. Detection is more sensitive when the drive is not running and can produce false positives.

Possible corrections: Check for/correct faults in the input wiring, Verify that motor cable does not exceed maximum specified length, Decrease the detection level for earth fault with parameter 3028 EARTH FAULT LVL, A delta grounded input power supply and motor cables with high capacitance may result in erroneous error reports during non-running tests. To disable response to fault monitoring when the drive is not running, use parameter 3023 WIRING FAULT. To disable response to all ground fault monitoring, use parameter 3017 EARTH FAULT.
Note: Disabling earth fault (ground fault) may void the warranty.

Fault Number: 17 Fault name: OBSOLETE  Fault/Alarm Description: Fault Not Used

Fault Number: 18 Fault name: THERM FAIL  Fault/Alarm Description: Internal fault. The thermistor measuring the internal temperature of the drive is open or shorted. Contact your local ABB representative.

Fault Number: 19 Fault name: OPEX LINK  Fault/Alarm Description: Internal fault. A communication-related problem has been detected on the fiber optic link between the control and OINT boards. Contact your local ABB representative.

Fault Number: 20 Fault name: OPEX PWR  Fault/Alarm Description: Internal fault. Exceptionally low voltage detected on the OINT power supply. Contact your local ABB representative.


Fault Number: 21 Fault name: CURR MEAS Fault/Alarm Description: Internal fault. Current measurement is out of range. Contact your local ABB representative

Fault Number: 22 Fault name: SUPPLY PHASE  Fault/Alarm Description: Ripple voltage in the DC link is too high. Check for and correct: Missing mains phase, Blown fuse

Fault Number: 23 Fault name: ENCODER ERR Fault/Alarm Description: The drive is not detecting a valid encoder signal.

A wrong value will only be detected if the error is such that the calculated slip is greater than 4 times the rated slip of the motor, Encoder is not being used, but parameter 5002 ENCODER ENABLE = 1 (ENABLE).

Fault Number: 24 Fault name: OVERSPEED Fault/Alarm Description: Motor speed is greater than 120% of the larger (in magnitude) of 2001 MINIMUM SPEED or 2002 MAXIMUM SPEED.

Fault Number: 35 Fault name: OUTP WIRING Fault/Alarm Description: Incorrect input power and motor cable connection (i.e., input power cable is connected to drive motor connection). The fault can be erroneously declared if the drive is faulty or the input power is a delta grounded system and the motor cable capacitance is large. This fault can be disabled by using parameter 3023 WIRING FAULT. Check input power connections, Check grounding

HOW TO RESET A FAULT

First off, you can configure certain faults to reset automatically by setting the appropriate parameter. OK, now to reset a fault manually is pretty basic.

To reset a Flashing Red LED: To reset the drive for faults indicated by a flashing red LED Just turn the power off for 5 minutes.

To reset a Steady Red LED: To reset the drive for faults indicated by a red LED (steady on and not flashing), correct the problem first and either press RESET from the control panel or turn the power off for 5 minutes.

Hello,

i am continously getting  failt 512 on my ABB DCS drive
i checked the mains voltage and found 2 fuses feeding the power to the drive to be bust and replaced them
now checked the terminals for the voltage and still the drive reads the same fault 512
even after reset

512 alarm on ABB drives are usually low mains voltage, you changed fuses, is it possible they simply blew again? Or possible blown fuses upstream maybe?
