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.
