6181

FPGA version incompatible

ACS880 · Primary Control Program Firmware

What does 6181 mean?

The firmware version of the ACS880 control program is incompatible with the Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) logic version in the power unit. This mismatch prevents proper communication and operation of the drive.

Common Causes

  • Mismatched firmware versions between the control program and the power unit FPGA logic, typically after an incomplete or incorrect update.
  • Installation of incompatible firmware packages.
  • Hardware issue with the FPGA causing it to report an incorrect version.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Identify the current firmware version of the control program and the FPGA logic version of the power unit.

  2. 2

    Update either the power unit FPGA logic or the control program firmware (whichever is older or indicated by ABB instructions) to ensure compatibility.

  3. 3

    Follow the specific update procedure provided by ABB for the ACS880 drive diligently to avoid further compatibility issues.

  4. 4

    If the issue persists after updating both components, document all details and contact ABB technical support.
