FPGA version incompatible

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.

• 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.

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.
