Section 7 Troubleshooting7.1 Fault tracing7.1.1 Identifying hardware errors1. Check the module with an error.• Check the general IED status in Main menu/Monitoring/IED status fora faulty hardware module.• Check the history of changes in internal event list in Main menu/Monitoring/Internal events.2. Inspect the IED visually.• Inspect the IED visually to find any physical error causes.• If you can find some obvious physical damage, contact ABB for repair orreplacement actions.3. Check whether the error is external or internal.• Check that the error is not caused by external origins.• Remove the wiring from the IED and test the input and output operationwith an external test device.• If the problem remains, contact ABB for repair or replacement actions.7.1.2 Identifying runtime errors1. Check the error origin from IED's internal event list Main menu/Monitoring/Internal events.2. Reboot the IED and recheck the supervision events to see if the fault hascleared.3. In case of persistent faults, contact ABB for corrective actions.7.1.3 Identifying communication errorsCommunication errors are normally communication interruptions or synchronizationmessage errors due to communication link breakdown.• Check the communication status in the internal event list in Main menu/Monitoring/IED status.• In case of persistent faults originating from IED's internal faults such ascomponent breakdown, contact ABB for repair or replacement actions.1MRS756509 E Section 7Troubleshooting630 series 83Operation Manual
