6180

Internal SW error

ABB · ACS880

What does 6180 mean?

An internal software error has occurred within the drive's operating system or application. This is a critical fault indicating a software anomaly that prevents normal operation and usually requires expert intervention to resolve. This can be caused by corrupted memory or an unexpected program state.

Common Causes

  • Corruption of critical operating system files on internal non-volatile memory (e.g., flash memory).
  • Unhandled exception or division by zero error within the drive's application code.
  • Race condition or deadlocked threads within the real-time operating system (RTOS) of the drive.
  • Memory leak in background tasks causing eventual system instability.
  • Incompatible application version loaded onto a drive with differing hardware revisions.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Perform a power cycle of the drive by disconnecting input power for 60 seconds.

  2. 2

    Upload the drive's current parameter configuration (e.g., using a backup tool or software).

  3. 3

    Attempt a full factory reset of the drive parameters (e.g., P0-10 = 1, then P0-10 = 0 to restore defaults).

  4. 4

    Re-install the drive's firmware package, ensuring the correct version for the hardware model.

  5. 5

    Reload the saved parameter configuration to the drive after firmware re-installation.

  6. 6

    Monitor internal processor load (e.g., monitoring parameter P1-50, if available) after reboot.
