Allen-Bradley Error Messages
AB objects report the statuses of commands they issue to AB devices.
When LookoutDirect
receives a response from an AB device, it reads the
status (STS) byte and, if necessary, the extended status (EXT STS) byte to
verify the device executed the Lookout
Direct
command properly. If the
command was not executed properly, Lookout
Direct
reports the failure as
an alarm containing the status code and its meaning. The following is an
example of such an alarm:
EXT STS = 0F: not enough levels in address
AB object classes can also generate alarms internally. The following is a list
of AB alarms generated by Lookout
Direct
, their descriptions, and possible
responses. In the messages, KT
is used to refer to any of the DH+ interface
cards (1784-KT, 1784-KTx, 1784-PCMK, or 5136-SD) and
SS
is used to
refer to the 5136-SD card.
Cannot resolve ip address: address
The AB object failed to find any node on the network that corresponds to
the given IP address. Confirm that the IP address entered in the Modify
Object dialog box is correct.
Cannot get session id from plc
The AB object sent a message to the PLC requesting a TCP/IP session and
failed to receive a satisfactory response.
Cannot communicate with device (code=dd)
The AB object timed out while waiting for a response (via TCP/IP) from
the PLC. If the code is 0, the object timed out while trying to establish the
TCP/IP connection; if the code is 1, the object timed out while waiting for
a session id from the PLC; if the code is 2, the object timed out while
waiting for a response to a poll request. Confirm that the IP address of the
PLC has been entered correctly and that the PLC is reachable over the
TCP/IP network.
Download of file sdipds.ss1 failed
Lookout
Direct
was unable to write the KT-emulation program file to the
5136-SD card physical memory. This could be due to either an invalid
port or memory address or to a faulty or improperly seated card.
Invalid memory address for card: 0xAAAA
The memory address specified for the card (for example, D400) is not
valid for this model of card. The address must be a multiple of 0x0100 and
lie in the range 0xA000 to 0xDF00. Moreover, the KT, KTx, PCMK, and
