A88B

Value counter 2

ABB · ACS880

What does A88B mean?

Warning generated by value counter 2, indicating a predefined count threshold has been reached for a monitored value. This is often used for tracking production cycles, material usage, or other process-related counts. Overlooking this could lead to process deviations or component wear.

Common Causes

  • Value counter 2 (Parameter P4-08) has reached its configured threshold (P4-08.01 Value Count 2 Limit) for a distinct monitored value.
  • The input source feeding Value Counter 2 is providing data correctly, and the accumulated value is genuine.
  • The limit set in P4-08.01 is no longer appropriate for the current application or reporting cycle.
  • The counter was not manually reset after reaching its threshold in a previous operational period.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Identify the specific value being monitored by Value Counter 2 (e.g., total regenerated energy, total material length processed) by reviewing system documentation.

  2. 2

    Note the current accumulated value displayed in parameter P4-08.00 (Current Value 2).

  3. 3

    Execute any necessary operational adjustments, data archival, or preventative maintenance triggered by this accumulated value.

  4. 4

    Reset Value Counter 2 to zero by setting parameter P4-08.02 (Reset Counter 2) to '1' (Execute) after necessary actions are performed.

  5. 5

    Modify the limit value in parameter P4-08.01 (Value Count 2 Limit) if the monitoring threshold requires adjustment.
