Internal SW error
ABB · ACS880
What does 6180 mean?
An internal software error has occurred within the drive's operating system or application. This is a critical fault indicating a software anomaly that prevents normal operation and usually requires expert intervention to resolve. This can be caused by corrupted memory or an unexpected program state.
Common Causes
- Corruption of critical operating system files on internal non-volatile memory (e.g., flash memory).
- Unhandled exception or division by zero error within the drive's application code.
- Race condition or deadlocked threads within the real-time operating system (RTOS) of the drive.
- Memory leak in background tasks causing eventual system instability.
- Incompatible application version loaded onto a drive with differing hardware revisions.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Perform a power cycle of the drive by disconnecting input power for 60 seconds.
- 2
Upload the drive's current parameter configuration (e.g., using a backup tool or software).
- 3
Attempt a full factory reset of the drive parameters (e.g., P0-10 = 1, then P0-10 = 0 to restore defaults).
- 4
Re-install the drive's firmware package, ensuring the correct version for the hardware model.
- 5
Reload the saved parameter configuration to the drive after firmware re-installation.
- 6
Monitor internal processor load (e.g., monitoring parameter P1-50, if available) after reboot.
