What to do if PS501 Control Builder Plus / ABB Automation Builder hangs during project modification?

Dean ChavezAug 19, 2025
If the PS501 Control Builder Plus / ABB Automation Builder application appears to hang when closing, saving, or modifying a CoDeSys Safety project, it may be due to the user management requiring you to re-confirm your log-on credentials for safety components. A log-on message box might be in the background. Find the log-on message in the background of your Windows desktop, log-on, and continue your previous actions. If this happens frequently, set a longer user log-on session time for PS501 Control Builder Plus / ABB Automation Builder.

How to fix SM560-S ABB Safety CPU login issues from CoDeSys Safety project?
L
Lauren ColemanAug 21, 2025
If you cannot log in to the SM560-S from CoDeSys Safety project, it might be because the CoDeSys visualization is already connected directly to the SM560-S Safety CPU, blocking the connection. Only one connection to the SM560-S Safety CPU is allowed at a time. Disconnect the CoDeSys visualization from the SM560-S Safety CPU.

What to do if SM560-S ABB Safety CPU goes to RUN state but Safety I/O modules go to RUN state?
C
Courtney GonzalezAug 23, 2025
If the SM560-S Safety CPU is in RUN or DEBUG RUN state, but all Safety I/O modules suddenly go to RUN (module passivation) state, your program may contain an endless loop. This prevents the SM560-S Safety CPU from sending valid safety telegrams to Safety I/O modules in a timely manner (within the configured watchdog time). Check (debug) your safety application program and ensure that there are no endless loops.

Kelsey WilkersonAug 26, 2025
If you cannot log in to the SM560-S Safety CPU, it might be due to incorrect “Communication parameters…” settings. Ensure that the correct settings of “Communication parameters …” are used in CoDeSys Safety to connect to the SM560-S Safety CPU.

What to do if safety digital input channel is occasionally passivated with an internal error diagnostic message (Err. Class: E3, Comp.: 14, Device: 1 … 10, Module: 31, Channel: 31, ID: 43) in ABB?
C
Carl BeasleyAug 28, 2025
If your safety digital input channel is occasionally passivated with an internal error diagnostic message (Err. Class: E3, Comp.: 14, Device: 1 … 10, Module: 31, Channel: 31, ID: 43), one potential reason is that your input signal frequency exceeded an allowed input channel signal frequency. Check that your input signal does not exceed the allowed digital input signal frequency.

If you are unable to log in to the SM560-S Safety CPU from CoDeSys Safety after logging out, you might be trying to log in too quickly. Wait a few seconds (~ 5 – 10 s) after logging out from SM560-S before attempting to log in again in CoDeSys Safety.

What causes DX581-S ABB module to power on without power supply connected to UP clamps?
F
Frances VillegasSep 1, 2025
If the DX581-S module is powered on, but no power supply is connected to the UP clamps, there may be a wiring error. This can occur when +24 V DC is connected to at least one of the safety digital output clamps of DX581-S, causing it to power on through the safety digital outputs. Check the wiring of DX581-S and disconnect +24 V DC from the safety digital output clamp(s).

What to do if safety I/O module is occasionally passivated without a reason in ABB?
E
Erika VelezSep 4, 2025
If some channels of a Safety I/O module or a complete Safety I/O module is occasionally passivated without a clear reason, it might be due to poor electrical contact between the Safety I/O module and the TU582-S terminal unit. Ensure that you pressed the Safety I/O module into the TU582-S terminal unit with a force of at least 100 Newton, as prescribed in AC500-S checklists.

How to resolve long list of internal constants with a green font colour for PROFIsafe F- Host instances after login to CoDeSys Safety in ABB?
B
Brandon RodgersSep 6, 2025
If, after logging in to CoDeSys Safety, you see a long list of internal constants with a green font color for PROFIsafe F-Host instances, the option “Replace constants” is selected in CoDeSys Safety. To resolve this, go to the CoDeSys Safety menu, select “Project è Options è Build,” and unselect the option “Replace constants.”

What to do if serial driver shows communication error after login/logout in ABB?
C
Cynthia WilliamsSep 8, 2025
If you're using the serial driver to connect to the SM560-S Safety CPU and encounter a communication error after executing a “Login” command shortly followed by a “Logout” command in CoDeSys Safety, the serial driver may not have enough time to re-initialize. Wait for at least 20 seconds before executing the “Login” command after a “Logout” has been performed.
