Channel Block: File for logfile not found

The alarm is triggerd by the following cycles: CYCLE106. No name specified for the log file. Remedy: Check parameter _PROTNAME[1].

Safety

  • Refer to Siemens documentation
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Common Causes

  • Parameter _PROTNAME[1] is empty or not configured with a valid filename
  • Log file path specified in _PROTNAME[1] contains invalid characters or syntax
  • Insufficient disk space on the storage device for creating new log files
  • User lacks write permissions to the directory specified in _PROTNAME[1]
  • CYCLE106 invoked without proper initialization of protection/logging parameters

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Access the parameter editor and verify _PROTNAME[1] contains a valid filename with appropriate path (e.g., /logs/protection.log or similar)
  2. 2Confirm the specified directory exists and is accessible; create the directory if necessary
  3. 3Check file system permissions to ensure the CNC control user has read/write access to the target log directory
  4. 4Verify available disk space on the storage device to accommodate log file creation
  5. 5Reset or reinitialize CYCLE106 parameters after correcting _PROTNAME[1], then re-execute the cycle
