6681

EFB comm loss

ABB · ACS580 General Purpose Drive

What does 6681 mean?

A communication break has occurred in the embedded fieldbus (EFB) communication link. This means the drive has lost its connection with the fieldbus master, leading to a loss of control and monitoring capabilities via the EFB, which can halt automated processes.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Check the operational status of the fieldbus master (e.g., online, offline, error status).

  2. 2

    Inspect all physical cable connections to the EIA-485/X5 terminals 29, 30, and 31 on the control unit for secure and correct wiring.

  3. 3

    Verify termination resistors and addressing on the fieldbus network.
