What Can Go Wrong When
Loading Tasks and Files
This appendix describes some problems you might encounter when loading
tasks and files to the rack.
S.1 Error Messages on the Personal Computer
Screen
Error messages that appear on the personal computer screen are
usually specific enough to help you pinpoint any problems you are
experiencing. In most cases error messages are also specific to the
operation that was in process when the error occurred. When you
see an error message on the screen during any loading operation,
first write down the message. Then, after checking to make sure
your connection to the rack is good, and that you are loading the
correct file to the designated Processor or UDC module, reĆtry the
operation. Generally, it is best to load every file (except operating
system files, which are loaded separately) and task to the rack at
one time using the LOAD ALL option.
This section will describe errors that might be difficult to resolve
using error messages only. The section is organized by when the
error could occur. However, if you load tasks and files to the rack
using the LOAD ALL command, you might see any of these errors
during the procedure.
S.1.1 Errors that Occur When Loading an AutoMax
Processor Operating System or UDC Operating
System
In most cases, errors that occur when loading an operating system
to the rack are due to improper cabling or high Processor or UDC
utilization (a combination of large tasks executing very fast,
accompanied by error code 00" on a Processor faceplate). Always
make sure that you have a good connection between the personal
computer and the rack before trying to communicate with the rack.
In addition, it is good practice to stop any tasks that are running in
the rack (using the STOP ALL command) before trying to reĆload an
operating system to the rack. In most cases, reĆtrying the loading
operation will be successful. In rare cases, it may be necessary to
replace a Processor module or UDC module in the rack.
S.1.2 Errors that Occur When Loading a Rack
Configuration or Drive Parameter Object File
Errors that can occur when loading a rack configuration are usually
due to a mismatch between the actual hardware in the rack and
what is described in the configuration. For example, it is possible
that the configuration describes a hardware module that was
mistakenly placed into the wrong slot in the rack, or one that was
not installed in the rack at all. It is also possible that the
configuration file or parameter object file is actually meant for
