How to Read ACS880 Faults via Drive Composer
To get the most accurate diagnostic data in 2025, connect your PC to the drive using the Drive Composer tool.
- Fault Logger: View the last 50 events with timestamps.
- Auxiliary Codes: Look for the “Aux Code” in the fault details. This often identifies the specific phase (U, V, W) or module that failed.
- Data Logger: The ACS880 records motor current and torque 500ms before a fault occurs.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between a Warning and a Fault? A: A Warning (Hex codes starting with ‘A’) notifies you of an issue but keeps the motor running. A Fault (Decimal codes) trips the drive and stops the motor for safety.
Q: How do I reset an ABB ACS880 fault? A: You can reset a fault by pressing the Reset button on the control panel, through a digital input (if configured), or via the Fieldbus controller.
Q: Where is the fault history stored? A: Fault history is stored in Parameter Group 04. Parameter 04.01 shows the latest active fault.
