FF38
Hardware Reconfiguration Required
ABB · ACS800 Standard Firmware
What does FF38 mean?
The inverter type (e.g., sr0025_3) has been changed, a process typically performed at the factory or during initial drive implementation. This alarm signals that the new hardware configuration needs validation by cycling the control board power.
Common Causes
- Internal hardware components require a system reset or reconfiguration.
- Control board detected an anomaly requiring a power cycle.
- Firmware update or corruption requiring a hardware reset.
- Persistent internal error state requiring a full system reinitialization.
