Description
EXTRA DATA IN QPP BLOCK
The QuickPath Plus block has been programmed with too many parameters. For example, you
cannot program a G13 block with both axis data and an angle word or with an L or A word in the
block.
EXTRA I/O RING DEVICE
An I/O device that has not been defined in the I/O assignment file is physically present on the
I/O ring.
EXTRA KEYBOARD OR HPG ON I/O RING
The control detected a keyboard or HPG on the 9/Series fiber optic ring that was not configured
as a ring device. The I/O ring will still function and the control will NOT be held in E-Stop. You
may also use the keyboard or HPG by selecting it as the active device via the corresponding
PAL flags. You should configure the keyboard or HPG with the I/O assigner utility (See your
9/Series PAL reference manual for details).
F
FCM DUALPORT RAM FAILURE
The FCM detected an error in dualport RAM.
FCM FLASH RAM FAILURE
The FCM detected an error in flash RAM.
FCM LOCAL RAM FAILURE
The FCM detected an error in local RAM at power-up or during the runtime diagnostics.
FCM PLUG CONFIGURE FAILED
The FCM card failed to configure correctly.
FCM PLUG FAULT
The plug on the FCM detected an error.
FCM PLUG NEGOTIATE FAILED
The FCM firmware could not communicate with the plug.
FCM POWER UP SEQUENCE FAILURE
Power-up failed. Try again. If error appears again, contact your Allen-Bradley sales
representative.
FCM REVISION CHECK FAILURE
Revision on module is out-of-date. Contact Allen-Bradley sales representative to get latest
revision of the module’s firmware.
FCM ROM FAILURE
The FCM detected an error in ROM during runtime diagnostics.
FCM SHADOW RAM FAILURE
The FCM detected an error in shadow RAM.
FCM SPURIOUS INTERRUPT
A spurious interrupt occurred on the FCM card.
FCM VRTX ERROR
A call from VRTX from the FCM card firmware returned an error.
FCM WATCHDOG
The watchdog on the FCM card timed out.
FDBK NOT AVAILABLE ON 4TH AXIS OF BOARD
An attempt was made to receive feedback from the axis that is configured as the fourth axis on a
servo board. You can only receive feedback from the first three axes on a servo board.
FEEDBACK DISCONNECTED
The control has detected a loss of feedback from the encoder. The most likely cause of this
error would be a broken or disconnected wire. Axis homing will be required after the error
condition is corrected.
FEEDBACK OPTION NOT INSTALLED
A PTO check determines the legal number of axes.
FEED AXIS DATA NOT PROGRAMMED
Feed axis data required during a grinder fixed cycle was not programmed.
FEED AXIS MOTION NOT ALLOWED
During Virtual C programming, no axis motion is allowed on the axis specified as the feed axis in
AMP.
FEED TO HARDSTOP PROGRAMMING ERROR
No axis, or more than one axis, was programmed in a G24 block. Or the programmed axis
integrand was not programmed in the block.
FILE CANNOT BE CONVERTED TO EIA FORMAT
The file requested to be output to a device has characters that cannot be converted to EIA.
FILE DOWNLOAD COMPLETE
Status message that means the download has completed.
FILE DOWNLOAD ERROR
Check file download and file download configuration screens to make sure all fields are entered
correctly.
FILE DOWNLOAD IN PROGRESS
This status message means a file is being downloaded.
FIXED CYCLE ALREADY ACTIVE
You cannot program a fixed cycle with a fixed cycle already active.
FIXED CYCLE PROGRAMMING ERROR
A fixed cycle has been programmed incorrectly. Verify that the correct parameters have been
used and that parameters restricted to integer or positive values are programmed as such.
