General Error Codes
The following table explains the general error codes of a return value. The error
code is shown in hexadecimal format. The letter x in each code number is simply a
place holder and represents the number of the system function parameter that
caused the error.
Error Code (W#16#...) Explanation
8x7F Internal error
This error code indicates an internal error at parameter x. This error was not
caused by the user and cannot be eliminated by the user.
8x01 Illegal syntax ID at an ANYparameter
8x22
8x23
Range length error when reading a parameter.
Range length error when writing a parameter.
This error code indicates that the parameter x is located either entirely or partly
outside the range of an address or that the length of a bit range is not a multiple
of 8 with an ANY parameter.
8x24
8x25
Range error when reading a parameter.
Range error when writing a parameter.
This error code indicates that the parameter x is located in a range that is illegal
for the system function. Refer to the descriptions of the individual functions for
information about the illegal ranges.
8x24
8x25
Range error when reading a parameter.
Range error when writing a parameter.
This error code indicates that the parameter x is located in a range that is illegal
for the system function. Refer to the descriptions of the individual functions for
information about the illegal ranges.
8x26 The parameter contains a timer number that is too high.
This error code indicates that the timer specified in parameter x does not exist.
8x27 The parameter contains a counter number that is too high (counter number
error).
This error code indicates that the counter specified in parameter x does not
exist.
8x28
8x29
Alignment error when reading a parameter.
Alignment error when writing a parameter.
This error code indicates that the reference to parameter x is a bit address that
is not equal to 0.
8x30
8x31
The parameter is located in a read-only global DB.
The parameter is located in a read-only instance DB.
This error code indicates that parameter x is located in a read-only data block. If
the data block was opened by the system function itself, the system function
always returns the value W#16#8x30.
8x32
8x34
8x35
The parameter contains a DB number that is too high (DB number error).
The parameter contains an FC number that is too high (FC number error).
The parameter contains an FB number that is too high (FB number error).
This error code indicates that parameter x contains a block number higher than
the highest permitted number.
8x3A
8x3C
8x3E
The parameter contains the number of a DB that is not loaded.
The parameter contains the number of an FC that is not loaded.
The parameter contains the number of an FB that is not loaded.
8x42
8x43
An access error occurred while the system was attempting to read a parameter
from the peripheral input area.
An access error occurred while the system was attempting to write a parameter
to the peripheral output area.
