MESSAGE LOG DCWA010 AC-450 ONLINE-BUILDER

Good Morning!

While accessing some controllers (AC450) on my MB-300 network, I have generated error logs with the following code: DCWA010. I found nothing about this in ABB's technical documentation. Could someone please give me more information about this error?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hugs!

DCWA010 is the System Status supervision task

Some error codes are documented on ABB Library (subscription or ABB intranet access required)

https://search.abb.com/library/Downlo...

https://search.abb.com/library/Downlo...
Products > Control Systems > Advant OCS with Master SW > System > ABB Master

A typical problem is a missing node that cannot be reached or a network/node number has changed. Sometimes it can help to restart the task.

If you share full details from the DCWA010 system messages (H'XXXXXXXX, Data 1 and Data2) we can probably give some further advise on best course of action.

Hello Stefan!

First of all, thank you for the quick return!
Following is more information regarding the message:

From the "DC SW 2.5 - 5765_111-210.PDF" referenced earlier:

12450521 dcwb45 dcwbcns
1: 0
2: network no.
3: node no.

= Fail to get status for specified MasterBus link

Do you see these when you call System Status from the AS500 Operator Stations?
As far as I know, this is a nuissance message that you can disregard from.

What version of AC450 (SHTARG)?

Older versions *had* issues with System Status.

The only impact I see from this error would be some impairment of the System Status information from the concerned controller when presented in the AS 500OS HMI.

Good morning Stefan!

My ControlSystem contract does not entitle me to access the technical document that you gave me in the previous link, as it informs you that it is exclusive for ABB access. As for the information requested, follows the system version:

#SHTARG

Target System Identity:
QC02-BAS21*9.0/7 *02/01/08/
Copyright 2001 ABB Automation Products AB
QC02-LIB21*9.0/1 (1/1)
QC02-OPF21*9.0/4 (1/1)
QC02-LOS21*9.0/0 (1/1)
YC572 SW*3.1/0 (1/1)
Generated 1998-03-25
Copyright 1998 ABB GENERATION AB
Network, node: 11, 72

Seeing your analysis of the failure, where it informs you that it does not appear to be a serious mistake, makes me more relaxed. So thank you once again for your help!

A big hug my friend!

Stefan,

I remember that on my MB300 network there are other AC450 controllers with the same version, but the error message does not occur. Reinforcing, the error message happens when accessing the node online mode in Controlbuilder, and is configured to show screen and message log failures. Other information: My supervisory system is 800xA.

Hugs!

QC02-BAS21*9.0/7 is the most recent of the AC450 1.3 version, since then 2.1 and finally 2.3 was released. There are subsequent corrections made to System Status there, but none that I feel maps your problem description. A warm start might clear this error.

To my knowledge DCWA010 is the task for "System messages".

Example of a System message (from Net: 14, Node: 41):

* 14 41 *19:23:10 24 16 DCWA010 H'12410506 108 H'000B0047

mtype = 24 (signal call errors),

mcode = 16 (There is a network number and/or node number which can not be recognized)

data_1 = signal identity
data_2 = network number, node number (H'000B0047 (network number 12, node number 71))

BR Carsten

P.s. Please provide more info regarding the exact message, e.g. as in the example above
