The reason is to suppress unnecessary faults (the start up of the overriding control is usually slower than the one of the drive). Solution: Check: – ComLossCtrl (30.28), FB TimeOut (30.35), CommModule (98.02) – parameter settings of group 51 (fieldbus) – fieldbus cable – fieldbus termination – fieldbus adapter |
| A129 ParRestored | Cause: Parameter restored- The parameters found in the flash were invalid at power-up (checksum fault). All parameters were restored from the parameter backup. |
| A130 LocalCmdLoss | Cause: Local command loss: Connection fault with DCS800 Control Panel, DriveWindow or DriveWindow Light. Solution: Check: – LocalLossCtrl (30.27) – if control DCS800 Control Panel is disconnected – connection adapter – cables |
| A131 ParAdded | Cause: Parameter added- A new firmware with a different amount of parameters was downloaded. The new parameters are set to their default values. The parameters causing the alarm can be identified in Diagnosis (9.11). Solution: Check: – new parameters and set them to the desired values |
| A132 ParConflict | Cause: Parameter setting conflict- Is triggered by parameter settings conflicting with other parameters. The parameters causing the alarm can be identified in Diagnosis (9.11). |
| A133 RetainInv | Cause: Retain data invalid- Set when the retain data in the flash are invalid during power-up. In this case the backup data are used. Note: The backup of the lost retain data reflects the status at the previous power-up. Examples for retain data are: – fault logger data, – Data1 (19.01) to Data4 (19.04), – I/O options (see group 98) and – parameters defined by means of DCS800 ControlBuilder (CoDeSys) with the box RETAIN ticked The situation of invalid retain data occurs, if the auxiliary voltage of the DCS800 is switched off about 2 seconds after power-up (while the retain data sector is being rearranged). Solution: Check: – if the flash of the SDCS-CON-4 is defective and – if the auxiliary power supply has a problem |
| A134 ParComp | Cause: Parameter compatibility- When downloading parameter sets or during power-up the firmware attempts to write the parameters. If the setting is not possible or not compatible the parameter is set to default. The parameters causing the alarm can be identified in Diagnosis (9.11). Solution: Check: – parameter setting |
| A135 ParUpDwnLoad | Cause: Parameter up- or download failed- The checksum verification failed during up- or download of parameters. Please try again. Two or more parameter set actions were requested at the same time. Solution: Please try again. |
| A136 NoAPTaskTime | Cause: Adaptive Program task time not set- The task time for the Adaptive Program is not set, while the Adaptive Program is started. Solution: Check: – that TimeLevSel (83.04) is set to 5 ms, 20 ms, 100 ms or 500 ms when AdapProgCmd (83.01) is set to Start, SingleCycle or SingleStep. |
| A137 SpeedNotZero | Cause: Speed not zero- Re-start of drive is not possible. Speed zero [see M1ZeroSpeedLim (20.03) or M2ZeroSpeedLim (49.04)] has not been reached. In case of an alarm set On = Run = 0 and check if the actual speed is within the zero speed limit. This alarm is valid for: – normal stop, Off1N [UsedMCW (7.04) bit 0] in case FlyStart (21.10) = StartFrom0, – Coast Stop, Off2N [UsedMCW (7.04) bit 1], – E-stop, Off3N [UsedMCW (7.04) bit 2] and – if the drive is de-energized and then re- energized. Solution: Check: – M1ZeroSpeedLim (20.03) – FlyStart (21.10) – M1SpeedFbSel (50.03) – M2SpeedFbSel (49.24) – M2ZeroSpeedLim (49.04) – for proper function of the used speed feedback devices (analog tacho / encoder) |
| A138 Off2FieldBus | Cause: Off2 (Emergency Off / Coast Stop) pending via MainCtrlWord (7.01) / fieldbus – start inhibition: There is no problem with the drive itself! Solution: Check: – MainCtrlWord (7.01) bit1 Off2N |
| A139 Off3FieldBus | Cause: Off3 (E-stop) pending via MainCtrlWord (7.01) / fieldbus- There is no problem with the drive itself! Solution: Check: – MainCtrlWord (7.01) bit2 Off3N |
| A140 IllgFieldBus | Cause: Illegal fieldbus settings- The fieldbus parameters in group 51 (fieldbus) are not set according to the fieldbus adapter or the device has not been selected. Solution: Check: – group 51 (fieldbus) – configuration of fieldbus adapter |
| A141 COM8FwVer | Cause: SDCS-COM-8 firmware version conflict- Invalid combination of SDCS-CON-4 firmware and SDCS-COM-8 firmware. Solution: Check: – for valid combination of SDCS-CON-4 [FirmwareVer (4.01)] and SDCS-COM-8 [Com8SwVersion (4.11)] firmware version according to the release notes |
| A142 MemCardMiss | Cause: Memory Card missing- There is an application loaded in the drive. The Memory Card belonging to the application is not found. Solution: Check: – if the Memory Card is properly plugged into the SDCS-CON-4 (X20) – de-energize the electronics, insert the proper Memory Card and reenergize – ParApplSave (16.06) – in case there is no Memory Card used set ParApplSave (16.06) = DisableAppl |
| A143 MemCardFail | Cause: Memory Card failure- Checksum failure or wrong Memory Card Solution: Check: – Memory Card – if proper ABB Memory Card is used – ParApplSave (16.06) |

| F502 ArmOverCur | Cause: Armature overcurrent. Solution: Check: – ArmOvrCurLev (30.09) – parameter settings of group 43 (current control: armature current controller tuning) – current and torque limitation in group 20 – all connections in the armature circuit, especially the incoming voltage for synchronizing. If the synchronizing voltage is not taken from the mains (e.g. via synchronizing transformer or 230 V / 115 V network) check that there is no phase shift between the same phases (use anoscilloscope). – for faulty thyristors – armature cabling – in case of a rebuild kit proper connection of firing pulses and CT’s – if TypeCode (97.01) = None and S ConvScaleCur (97.02) is set properly |
| F503 ArmOverVolt | Cause: Armature overvoltage (DC). Solution: Check: – if setting of ArmOvrVoltLev (30.08) is suitable for the system – parameter settings of group 44 (field excitation: field current controller tuning, EMF controller tuning, flux linearization) – too high field current (e.g. problems with field weakening) – if the motor was accelerated by the load, – overspeed – does the speed scaling fit, see SpeedScaleAct (2.29) – proper armature voltage feedback – connector X12 and X13 on SDCS-CON-4 – connector X12 and X13 on SDCS-PIN-4/51 – cutting of resistors for voltage coding on SDCS-PIN-51 |
