Out of Maintenance Steps and can not write to PLC

4 posts in this topic

I am getting an error that says I am out of maintenance steps and can not write to PLC. Is there any way around this?

What PLC and programming package are you using? Are you having trouble converting the program, or just writing it to the PLC? Is this a new blank PLC or does it already have a program? Can you give us screen shot of the error?

A full write to the plc should reset the maintenance step count. (online -> write to PLC) you have to write everything including the parameters. With GXWorks2 when doing a write click on the detail button then you can change the amount of maintenance steps to use.

as above. if it is a case of there not being enough online maintenance steps available, you can specify a larger portion of the memory to online changes (assuming you have enough spare memory capacity for this). the default is 500, but sometimes this is altered to free up memory.
