Possible Causes

Faulty Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth module, Damaged Ethernet port or cable, Incorrect network configuration, Loose internal communication harness

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Impact: Charging may still work in basic mode, but remote control and monitoring are affected.

  • Check basic charging: Verify that the charger can still start and stop charging manually. If so, the issue is limited to networking.
  • Verify network settings: Using the local interface, confirm SSID, password, and IP settings. Reset to DHCP if static IP is misconfigured.
  • Test Ethernet: If using Ethernet, try a known-good patch cable and a different router/switch port.
  • Module reset: Some ABB chargers allow resetting the communication module separately via the menu; perform this reset.
  • Inspect module (technician): Open the charger and ensure the Wi‑Fi/Ethernet module is firmly seated and its antenna (if external) is connected.
  • Replace communication module: If E016 persists, replace the ABB communication module or user interface board that hosts the network hardware.
