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
Perform a drive power cycle to clear transient memory states.
- 2
If custom text files are used, verify their size against drive specifications and reduce content if necessary.
- 3
Perform a parameter reset to factory defaults (P96-01=1) and then reconfigure the drive.
- 4
Update the drive's main firmware to the latest stable release to address potential software bugs.
- 5
If the fault recurs frequently after these steps, consider replacing the main control board due to a potential memory hardware issue.
