How do I check the communication link operation on an ABB Relion 670?
To check the communication link operation on the ABB Protection Device, ensure the uplink LED is lit with a steady green light. Check the communication status of the front port via the LHMI in Main menu/Diagnostics/Communication/Ethernet status/Front port/FRONTSTATUS:1, ensuring the LinkStatus value is 1. Also, check the communication status of the rear ports via the LHMI in Main menu/Diagnostics/Communication/Ethernet status/Access points, verifying that the LinkStatus value is 1.
What to do if I have communication errors with my ABB Relion 670?
If you are experiencing communication errors with your ABB Protection Device, check the IEC61850 and DNP3 communication status in the internal event list located in Main menu/Diagnostics/IED Status/General. In case of persistent faults originating from IED's internal faults such as component breakdown, contact ABB for repair or replacement actions.
How to identify runtime errors in ABB Relion 670?
To identify runtime errors in the ABB Protection Device, check the error origin from IED's internal event list Main menu/Diagnostics/IED status/General. Reboot the IED and recheck the supervision events to see if the fault has cleared. In case of persistent faults, contact ABB for corrective actions.
What to do if ABB Industrial Equipment shows 'Internal fail On'?
If the ABB Industrial Equipment indicates 'Internal fail On', it means a failure has occurred. To address this, check the other indicated results to pinpoint the specific fault.
Why is the ABB Control Unit showing a Diagnostics Replication Failed error?
If the ABB Control Unit displays a Diagnostics Replication Failed error, it can be due to the server(s) not being reachable or the server configuration having changed. Verify that the LDAP server is up and running. Verify with the system administrator that LDAP settings are still valid. Check the IED connection.
