F015

Data Conversion Error

Allen-Bradley · Logix and SLC PLC

What does F015 mean?

This error indicates a problem during the conversion of data from one format or type to another. This can lead to incorrect values or an inability to use the data in subsequent operations.

Common Causes

  • Attempting to convert incompatible data types (e.g., string to boolean).
  • Out-of-range value during conversion causing truncation or error.
  • Corrupted source data leading to failed conversion.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify PLC program logic in data conversion instructions (e.g., MOV, COP, SCL, SCP, CPT) for correct data types, scaling factors, and range limits.

  2. 2

    Inspect relevant tag properties and definitions (e.g., base data type, array dimensions) in the PLC project to confirm they match expected usage.

  3. 3

    Monitor real-time values of source, intermediate, and destination tags involved in the conversion using the PLC's data monitoring tools to identify where incorrect values appear.

  4. 4

    Check I/O module configuration for any analog or specialty modules providing input/output data that undergoes conversion, ensuring their scaling and data format settings are correct.
