What to do if ABB Power distribution unit IEDs receive corrupted measurement data?
If IEDs receive corrupted or faulty measurement data during runtime, and the faults are permanent, the measurement chain should be checked to remove the origin of the faulty measurement data.
How to check if ABB Power distribution unit error is external or internal?
To determine if the error is external or internal, remove the wiring from the IED and test the input and output operation with an external test device. If the problem remains, further actions may be needed.
What to do if ABB Power distribution unit has configuration data loss?
If configuration data is lost, or any other file system error prevents the IED from working correctly, the software can be rebooted or the whole file system can be restored to the original factory state.
How to check the module with an error in ABB Power distribution unit?
To check a module with an error, examine the IED supervision events in Main menu > Monitoring > IED status > Selfsupervision for a faulty hardware module.
