Reference source parametrization
ABB · ACS880
What does 65B1 mean?
A reference source is simultaneously connected to multiple parameters with different units, causing a configuration conflict. This inconsistency prevents correct signal processing and can lead to incorrect drive operation. Refer to warning A6DA for detailed information.
Common Causes
- Multiple drive parameters (e.g., P1-01 Speed Reference, P1-02 Torque Reference) are simultaneously linked to the same reference source (e.g., analog input AI1).
- The linked parameters require different units or scaling for the same physical input, causing an irreconcilable conflict (e.g., one requires Hz, another Nm).
- An internal function block or parameter group is attempting to use a reference source in a way that contradicts its configuration elsewhere.
- A user-defined parameter set (P9-04) was loaded that contains conflicting reference assignments.
- Firmware bug in reference handling logic causing misinterpretation of parameter linkages.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Identify all drive parameters currently configured to use the problematic reference source (e.g., using parameter cross-reference in drive software).
- 2
Review the required units and scaling for each identified parameter (e.g., P1-01 requires a speed value in Hz, P1-02 requires torque in Nm).
- 3
Reassign one of the conflicting parameters to an alternative, unused reference source (e.g., assign P1-02 to a fixed value or a different analog input like AI2).
- 4
If using a single analog input for multiple functions, implement a parameter block (e.g., P5-01 Function Block) to independently scale and process the signal for each destination.
- 5
Perform a parameter upload, review the configuration in a PC tool, and then re-download the corrected parameter set to the drive.
