Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Access the HMI and navigate to Commissioning > Memory Configuration or System Data to check available memory on NC partitions.

  2. 2

    Check the target directory size using the file manager. Look for space usage in /user, /oem, or /addon partitions depending on copy destination.

  3. 3

    Delete unnecessary NC programs, old backups, or archived files from the target partition to free up space. Ensure at least 10-15% free space remains.

    Always backup important programs before deletion. Document what files are removed.

  4. 4

    Retry the copy operation after freeing sufficient space. If issue persists, consider using external storage or USB device for archiving old programs.
