6885

Text file overflow

ABB · ACS580

What does 6885 mean?

An internal fault indicating an overflow related to an internal text file within the drive's memory. This is usually indicative of a software bug or a transient memory allocation issue. Continued occurrence can compromise drive stability.

Common Causes

  • Firmware bug leading to excessive logging or storage of internal diagnostic text data.
  • Corruption of internal flash memory partition designated for text files (e.g., custom warning messages, application scripts).
  • An attempt to load a user-defined text file (e.g., via Parameter P98-01 for user messages) that exceeds the drive's memory limits.
  • Persistent error messages or events filling up an internal text buffer, similar to a log file becoming too large.
  • Intermittent power supply to the control board causing memory write errors.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Perform a drive power cycle to clear transient memory states.

  2. 2

    If custom text files are used, verify their size against drive specifications and reduce content if necessary.

  3. 3

    Perform a parameter reset to factory defaults (P96-01=1) and then reconfigure the drive.

  4. 4

    Update the drive's main firmware to the latest stable release to address potential software bugs.

  5. 5

    If the fault recurs frequently after these steps, consider replacing the main control board due to a potential memory hardware issue.
