What should I do if the temperature deviates > ±10° from the setpoint in ABB Laboratory Equipment?
If the temperature deviates more than ±10° from the setpoint in your ABB Laboratory Equipment, check the analysis temperature control TCF settings, zone indicators, and Diagnostic Displays.
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.
How to fix low oven purge air pressure and open alarm on ABB PGC5000?
If you have low oven purge air pressure with an open alarm in your ABB Laboratory Equipment, check the purge pressure settings at the oven’s front panel gauge and adjust as necessary. Also, check the instrument air supply pressure and the oven gauge pressure switch.
How do I troubleshoot a temperature out of range (high) issue in ABB Laboratory Equipment?
If the temperature is out of range (high) on your ABB Laboratory Equipment, check the setting at Setup Tab>Oven>DTC# Button and adjust as needed.
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.
