Message Description
BAD RAM DISC SECTOR CHECKSUM ERROR A RAM disk sector error was detected during the RAM checksum test at power-up. Attempt to
power-upagain. Iftheerrorremains, contactAllen-Bradleycustomer supportservices.
BAD RECORD IN PROGRAM Thisindicatesaseriousproblemwiththe program. Attempttoopen the programa second time.
Ifretrydoesn’twork,you may havetodelete theprogram. Typically thiserror is notcaused by a
programmer or operatoraction. Itistypicallycaused by an internalsoftware errorin the
program.
BAD STATE/TOKEN COMBINATION (PROGRAM
ERROR)
While attempting todecodethe currentblock,a combinationofcharacters caused a decode
errorto occur. Checkthecharacters in the currentblockforan illegal combination.
BATTERY FAILURE The batterythatprovidesbackup oftheRAMmemoryisnot functioning;thevoltagemaybe low.
The batterymaybedead,removed,or poorly connected.
BLKDELETE CHG IGNORED ON PREPAREDBLKS A block-delete was activatedwhileaprogramwas executi ng. This change is ignoredbythe
control forblocksthathavealreadybeen read into thecontrol’s set-upbuffer(seeblock
look-aheadin user’smanual).
BLOCK LENGTH ERROR Ablockthatexceeds theallowable maximumblock length wasprogrammed.
BLOCK RETRACE ABORTED The block retrace operation being performedhasbeen canceled. W hen <CYCLE START>is
pressed,thecontrol will return the tool along a linearpathback tothe start-point ofthe block
retraceoperation.
