Measurement underflow at the I/O module
ABB · PB610 Panel Builder 600 Programming Software
What does 263 mean?
The input measurement on a safety I/O channel has fallen below its minimum detectable range. This can be due to an under-range signal from the sensor, incorrect wiring, or an issue with the sensor's power supply. For AI581-S input channels, the internal detection mechanism might not differentiate between over- and undercurrent effectively, as overcurrent can be followed by undercurrent effects in the electronics. This is a severity 3 error.
Common Causes
- Input signal falls below the minimum measurable range of the I/O module.
- Underload condition or open circuit on the analog input.
- Incorrect scaling of input signal.
- Wiring error causing insufficient voltage.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Check the channel wiring for correct connections and ensure the sensor output range matches the I/O module input specifications.
- 2
Verify the power supply to the sensor connected to the channel, ensuring it is within the specified operating voltage.
