Incorrect Address
Allen-Bradley · Logix and SLC PLC
What does F003 mean?
This error occurs when the address specified in a command or instruction is syntactically correct but refers to a non-existent or invalid memory location. The processor cannot find the target, preventing data access or instruction execution.
Common Causes
- Reference to a memory address outside the processor's valid range.
- Attempting to access a protected or reserved memory area.
- Outdated or incorrect address used after program modification.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Cross-reference the fault tag or instruction within the PLC program to locate the specific address causing the F003 error.
- 2
Verify the existence and proper configuration of the referenced I/O module or device within the PLC's I/O tree against the physical hardware.
- 3
Inspect the PLC program's tag database to ensure the referenced tag or memory location is correctly defined and within the processor's accessible memory scope.
- 4
Review the program logic surrounding the identified instruction for indirect addressing, array indexing, or pointer errors that might dynamically generate an invalid target address.
