What to do if the LEDs are not illuminated on my ABB Laboratory Equipment?
- CChristopher GonzalezSep 16, 2025
If the LEDs are not illuminated on your ABB Laboratory Equipment, check the power to the unit.
What to do if the LEDs are not illuminated on my ABB Laboratory Equipment?
If the LEDs are not illuminated on your ABB Laboratory Equipment, check the power to the unit.
Why won't my ABB Laboratory Equipment Master Controller or Ovens power on?
If the Master Controller or Ovens do not power on, check for power-related problems. This includes examining the external power supply, fuses, and breaker boxes for any potential issues.
What should I do if my ABB PGC5000 Laboratory Equipment device stopped communicating?
If your ABB Laboratory Equipment device stops communicating, check the board LEDs for any error indications and inspect the CANbus.
What to do if ABB PGC5000 device did not communicate with Oven Controller or go online?
If your ABB Laboratory Equipment device does not communicate with the Oven Controller or go online, check the board LEDs for any error indications.
What to do if analysis failed validation in ABB PGC5000 Laboratory Equipment?
If the analysis failed validation on your ABB Laboratory Equipment: 1. From the Analysis tab, edit the Analysis to meet requirements. 2. User controlled.
What does 'Schedule Stopped or paused' mean for ABB PGC5000?
This is informational only.
What should I do if the RTD or thermocouple reading is out of range in ABB PGC5000?
If the RTD or thermocouple reading is out of range on your ABB Laboratory Equipment: * Measure the resistance of the RTD with one lead disconnected; it should measure about 425 ohms at room temperature. Replace as necessary. * Disconnect the TC and use a TC tester to verify proper operation of the TC. Replace as necessary. Refer to the oven wiring diagram for RTC and TC connections.
What should I do if the retry of Automatic Ignites has been exceeded on my ABB PGC5000?
If the retry of automatic ignites has been exceeded in your ABB Laboratory Equipment, check the utilities, igniter (including fuel), burner, and connection. Verify flows, burner air.
How do I resolve the issue of two devices having the same CAN node ID in ABB PGC5000?
If two devices have the same CAN node ID in your ABB Laboratory Equipment, correct this by changing the node ID of one of the duplicate boards.
What to do if DTC did not detect AC or power to heater failed in ABB PGC5000?
If the DTC did not detect AC or power to the heater failed in your ABB Laboratory Equipment, check the AC connections to the DTC assembly. Also, T-Rating faults can cause this symptom.
