Troubleshooting

Check the general IED status in Main menu/Diagnostics/IED status/General for a
faulty hardware module.
Check the history of changes in internal event list in Main menu/Diagnostics/Internal
Events.
Inspect the IED visually to find any physical error causes.
If you can find some obvious physical damage, contact ABB for repair or replacement
actions.
Check that the error is not caused by external origins.
Remove the wiring from the IED and test the input and output operation with an
external test device.
