Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Perform a controlled shutdown and power cycle of the entire control system. Wait 30 seconds before restarting.

  2. 2

    Boot into service mode and check the NCK file system integrity using the NCK diagnostics menu (Service > System Data > NCK).

    Document all alarm history and system settings before performing file system operations.

  3. 3

    If corruption is detected, restore the notebook from a known good backup using Archive/Restore functions in Commissioning mode.

    Ensure you have a valid backup before attempting restoration. All current notebook data will be overwritten.

  4. 4

    If no backup exists, reinitialize the notebook memory through MD18360 (MM_NOTEBOOK_SIZE) and reload the NC program to recreate necessary variables.

    Reinitialization will erase all notebook contents. Record critical parameter values beforehand.
