Explanation: Error. The upload of a logic file from the programmable controller was cancelled before it completed due to length of time to do the upload.
User Action: Increase the timeout on the device definition to longer than the longest expected upload time.

Error accessing file !AD.
Explanation: Error. An error occurred when accessing the OpenVMS file when performing an upload from or download to the programmable controller.
User Action: Examine the error message and take action based on the error found.

Expected diagnostic data A55A (HEX), received data !XB!XB (HEX).
Explanation: Error. When doing a loop device command, the data received back from the programmable controller did not match the data sent. This error indicates a problem with being able to send and receive packets over the modbus network.
User Action: Check cabling for breaks, shorts, improper length, etc. If communicating using a terminal server, check the port counters for errors. Ensure that baud rate and parity are set properly.

Device error: Illegal function.
Explanation: Error. This error is being returned by the programmable controller.
User Action: Check for another user downloading a logic program to this device.

Device error: Illegal data address.
Explanation: Error. This error is being returned by the programmable controller.
User Action: Check that the address specified in the command is within the range of addresses available in the programmable controller.

Device error: Illegal data value.
Explanation: Error. This error is being returned by the programmable controller.
User Action: Check that the address specified in the command is an address type supported by the programmable controller.

Device error: Failure in associated device.
Explanation: Error. This error is being returned by the programmable controller.

Explanation: Error. This error is being returned by the programmable controller.
User Action: Check for other users executing control operations (such as start or stop) while a logic program is being downloaded to the programmable controller.

Device error: Illegal configuration.
Explanation: Error. This error is being returned by the programmable controller.
User Action: Reconfigure the programmable controller configuration table.

No logical point defined for unsolicited ID !AD.
Explanation: Error. A read request was received from the programmable controller, but a logical point does not exist for the physical point with the requested unsolicited ID.
User Action: Modify the physical point to put a valid logical point name in the unsolicited ID. See Unsolicited IDs for Read for details on formating of the unsolicited ID.

Too little data for unsolicited ID !AD.
Requested !UL words, but only !UL words in logical point.
Explanation: Error. The size of the logical point is smaller than the size of the data that the programmable controller requested. The data from the logical point is sent and the remainder of the data requested by the programmable controller is set to zeroes.
User Action: Modify the programmable controller program to request a data size that is less than or equal to the size of the corresponding logical point or modify the logical point to be larger in size.

Error calling BCC$GET_VALUE for unsolicited ID !AD.
Explanation: Error. A request to read data from the host was received and a matching physical point was found, but the call to get the current value of the logical point failed.
User Action: Examine the error message returned and take action based on the error found. If the logical point exists then it may be necessary to force recompiling of the logical point name by stopping BASEstar software, deleting the ILAN$_SECTION.DAT file and restarting BASEstar software.

Error in point status for unsolicited ID !AD.
Explanation: Error. A request to read data from the host was received, a matching physical point was found and the call to BCC$GET_VALUE succeeded, but the status of the logical point is bad.
User Action: Examine the error message returned and take action based on the error found.

Request for unsolicited ID !AD exceeds maximum allowed of !AD.
Explanation: Error. An unsolicited request (read or write) was received, but the address in the request is not within the range currently allowed by the DAS.
User Action: Either increase the maxium unsolicited ID allowed and create a matching physical point or change the programmable controller logic to us an unsolicited ID that is within range. See Section 2.3.4.2 for information on modifying the maximum allowed unsolicited ID value.

Request for unsolicited ID !AD, unsolicited point is not configured.
Explanation: Error. An unsolicited request (read or write) was received, but no matching physical point exists for the address received in the message.
User Action: Create a physical point with an unsolicited ID that matches the address in the message or modify the programmable controller to use an address of an existing physical point.
