Address File Does Not Exist

What does F006 mean?

This fault signifies that an address file referenced in the target processor does not exist. This file might contain data, configuration, or program segments critical for operation. The processor cannot proceed without this missing resource.

• File deleted or never created in the target processor's memory.
• Incorrect file path or name specified in the program.
• Corrupted memory preventing access to existing files.

1. 1

   Verify the exact fault code (F006) and any accompanying minor fault indicators or detailed fault information in the controller properties/fault tab using the appropriate programming software (RSLogix 500 or Studio 5000).

2. 2

   Perform an 'Online Program Compare' against the last known good offline project file to identify any discrepancies, missing routines, or data files within the controller's memory.

3. 3

   If discrepancies are identified or the program is suspected to be incomplete, perform a full download of the verified and correct offline project file (program and configuration) to the PLC, ensuring all necessary elements are transferred.

4. 4

   Inspect any removable non-volatile memory modules or SD cards (if applicable for the specific controller model) for proper seating and verify that they contain the expected project or referenced files.
