A fault is indicated by a red LED. See the LEDs section on page 315.
An alarm or fault message on the panel display indicates an abnormal condition of the drive.
Most alarm and fault causes can be identified and corrected using the information provided in this section. If not corrected, contact an ABB representative.
The four-digit code number in parentheses after a fault is used for field communication. See the Field Communication Control with Embedded Field Communication section on page 271.

How to Reset

The drive can be reset by pressing a key on the keypad (Basic Control Panel) or (Assistant Control Panel), via a digital input or field communication, or by turning off the supply voltage for a while. The source of the fault reset signal is selected with the 1604 FAULT RESET SEL parameter. After the fault is cleared, the  motor can be restarted.

Fault History

When a fault is detected, it is recorded in the fault history. The latest faults are stored with a timestamp.
Parameters 0401 LAST FAULT, 0412 PREVIOUS FAULT 1, and 0413 PREVIOUS FAULT 2 store the latest faults. Parameters 0404…0409 show the operating data of the drive when the latest fault occurred. The Assistant Control Panel provides additional information about the fault history. See the Fault Logger Mode section on page 94 for more information.

0014 EXTERNAL FAULT 1 (9000) 0305 bit 13
(programmable fault function 3003)
External fault 1. Check for faults in external devices.
Check the setting of 3003 EXTERNAL FAULT 1.

0015 EXTERNAL FAULT 2 (9001) 0305 bit 14
(programmable fault function 3004)
External fault 2. Check for faults in external devices.
Check the setting of 3004 EXTERNAL FAULT 2.

0016 EARTH FAULT (2330) 0305 bit 15
(programmable fault function 3017)
The drive has detected an earth (ground) fault in the motor or motor cable.
Check the motor.
Check the motor cable. The length of the motor cable should not exceed the maximum specifications. See the Motor connection data section on page 325.
Note: Disabling the earth fault (ground fault) may void the warranty.

0018 THERMAL FAULT (5210) 0306 bit 1
Internal drive fault.
The thermistor used for measuring the internal temperature of the drive is open or short-circuited.
Contact your local ABB representative.

0021 CURRENT MEASUREMENT (2211) 0306 bit 4
Internal drive fault.
Current measurement is out of range.
Contact your local ABB representative.

0022 SUPPLY PHASE (3130) 0306 bit 5
Intermediate circuit DC voltage is fluctuating due to a missing input power line phase or fuse failure.
The fault occurs when the DC voltage fluctuation exceeds 14% of the nominal DC voltage.
Check the input power line fuses.
Check for an imbalance in the input power supply.
Check the fault function parameters.

0024 OVERSPEED (7310) 0306 bit 7
The motor is spinning faster than the allowed maximum speed due to incorrectly set minimum/maximum speed.
The operating range limits are set with parameters 2007 MINIMUM FREQUENCY and 2008 MAXIMUM FREQUENCY.
Check the minimum/maximum frequency settings.
Check the adequacy of the motor braking torque.

0026 DRIVE IDENTITY (5400) 0306 bit 9
Internal drive identity fault. Contact your local ABB representative.

0027 CONFIGURATION FILE (630F) 0306 bit 10
Internal configuration file error. Contact your local ABB representative.

0028 SERIAL 1 ERROR (7510) 0306 bit 11
(programmable fault function 3018, 3019)
Field communication interruption.
Check the field communication status. See the Field Communication Control with Embedded Field Communication section on page 271.
Check the fault function parameter settings.
Check the connections.
Check if the master device is in a communicable state.

0029 EFB CONFIGURATION FILE (6306) 0306 bit 12
Configuration file read error. Contact your local ABB representative.

0030 FORCED FAULT (FF90) 0306 bit 13
A fault command has been received from field communication.
Refer to the appropriate communication module manual.

0031 EFB 1 (FF92) 0307 bit 0
Error from the embedded fieldbus (EFB) protocol implementation. The meaning depends on the protocol.
See the Field Communication Control with Embedded Field Communication section on page 271.

0032 EFB 2 (FF93) 0307 bit 1
0033 EFB 3 (FF94) 0307 bit 2

0035 OUTPUT WIRING (FF95) 0306 bit 15
(programmable fault function 3023)
Incorrect input power and motor cable connection (i.e., the input power cable is connected to the drive motor connection).
The fault can be falsely reported if the drive is faulty or if the input power is a delta grounded system and the motor cable capacitance is large.
Check the input power connections.

0036 INCOMPATIBLE SOFTWARE (630F) 0307 bit 3
The loaded software is not compatible.
Contact your local ABB representative.

0038 USER LOAD CURVE (FF6B) 0307 bit 4
The condition defined by 3701 USER LOAD C MODE has been valid for longer than the duration defined by 3703 USER LOAD C TIME.
See the 37 USER LOAD CURVE parameter group.
