Common Pass-Through Error Codes
The following table lists some common error codes that can appear when
you’re using Pass-Through.
Error code Probable causes What to do
145
“Remote station host is not there, is
disconnected, or is shutdown” PLC controller is faulted, or PLC program is
corrupted.
The cable is disconnected from the PLC
controller.
The wrong PLC station address was specified.
Using PCMK card, and the KL*.BIN files were
not copied from the PTU\PASSTHRU\PCMK
directory to the PTU\PASSTHRU directory.
Clear PLC faults or reload the PLC program.
Ensure that the cable is connected to the PLC
controller.
Specify the correct PLC station address.
Copy the KL*.BIN files from the
PTU\PASSTHRU\PCMK directory to the
PTU\PASSTHRU directory
163
“Illegal address—address does not exist, or
does not point to something usable by this
command” Trying to download through a PLC-5/40 using
PanelBuilder software Version 4.0, where the
PanelView 1200 terminal is assigned a rack
number greater than 7.
Using a PLC controller that has 2 remote I/O
channels, with the PanelView 1200 terminal on
both channels as partial racks.
Use PanelBuilder software Version 5.01, or
higher.
Ensure that all rack numbers are on the same
channel. Ensure that you’re using Pass-Through
Version 3.01.
164
“Illegal size; file is wrong size; address is
past end of file” PLC programming problems such as indirect
addressing or I/O indirection in the PLC
controller. The PLC controller doesn’t catch all
illegal indirection. Try downloading without ladder logic to see if it
works without it. If it works, rewrite the ladder
logic.
171
“Command cannot be executed” PLC controller doesn’t support Pass-Through. See the previous table listing PLC controllers
that support Pass-Through.
180
“Timed out, 1771 backplane module not
responding” PLC controller in program mode, or PanelView
1200 terminal in configuration mode.
The Pass-Through block transfer assignment in
the PanelView 1200 terminal doesn’t match the
Pass-Through block transfer assignment in the
application file being downloaded.
Put the PLC controller and the PanelView 1200
terminal in run mode.
Match the address assignments.
186
“ACK timeout” Remote I/O cables are disconnected.
Noisy line.
The computer’s address is the same as the PLC
station address, when using a KT or KT2 device.
Ensure that both ends of the Remote I/O cables
are connected and terminated according to the
baud rate used.
Reassign the KT or KT2 address.
190
“All others” Programming terminal is not connected to Data
Highway Plus network. Connect programming terminal to Data Highway
Plus network.
208
“Error Opening Network” Wrong KT2 driver card location. The switch
settings on the KT2 card don’t match the
settings entered in the Pass-Through download
configuration. Ensure that the settings on the KT2 card match
those entered in the Pass-Through download
configuration.
211
“Bad configuration file format” Trying to download through a PLC-5/40 where
the PanelView 1200 terminal is assigned a rack
number greater than 7.
The switch settings on the KT card don’t match
the settings entered in the Pass-Through
download configuration.
Use PanelBuilder software 4.00.02 or higher.
Ensure that the settings on the KT card match
those entered in the Pass-Through download
configuration. See the following table for
information on selecting a memory location for
the KT card.
