Troubleshooting
Hi all experts!
Is there any documnets between ABB800xa manuals considering TROUBLESHOOTING? That is started to be a big question mark for me where to start as a control engineer for the position of troubleshooting including network and communication problem or to find where the error is considering to motor, transmitter switchgear... etc?
Anyone to guide?

ABB has a number of expert workshops that is given at ABB's University locations (e.g. Västerås [Sweden], Minden [Germany], Wickliffe, OH [USA], Singapore, etc.)
For over a decade now, myself and a few colleagues at the Swedish L3 support center have been collecting troubleshooting hints and "check items" and gathered them in a "System Health Check" manual which I have attached a copy of to this thread. The SHC manual should give a system's engineer a good view over a large number of settings affecting system performance. The manual does not replace regular 800xA training classes. You'll need a background in engineering and some experience in System 800xA to achieve full value of the manual.
The E143 Troubleshooting System 800xA expert workshop is aimed for engineers of System 800xA that want to widen their knowledge in the 800xA system and how its built up from Domain Controller, secured & redundant communication, redundancy concept, service structures and application protocols like OPC DA, AE and HDA.
The SHC manual has been an input to the Service Products Data Collector (SPDC) and Service Application tools, with which you can automate collection of roughly a 1/3 of the check items and later, if you prefer, produce a report at ABB My Control System (MCS) portal (a license is required).
But even with no tools and license at hand, you can still perform a complete health check with the manual, a pencil and a few sheets of paper (however, I do recommend using a spreadsheet program like Excel to document the check items...).
