F019

Duplicate Label

Allen-Bradley · Logix and SLC PLC

What does F019 mean?

This error signifies that a label or tag has been defined multiple times within the program or symbol table. This creates ambiguity, preventing the processor from uniquely identifying the intended variable or location.

Common Causes

  • Two or more tags in the controller database share the same name.
  • Programming error introducing a duplicate identifier.
  • Importing a program component that contains an existing label.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify the active PLC program by performing a software upload and comparing it against the last known good project file on the engineering workstation.

  2. 2

    Access the PLC programming software (e.g., RSLogix 500 or Studio 5000 Logix Designer) and open the relevant project file.

  3. 3

    Perform a 'Verify Project' or 'Compile' operation within the software to generate a comprehensive list of all F019 'Duplicate Label' instances and their exact locations.

  4. 4

    Locate each identified duplicate label or tag within the PLC's tag database, symbol table, or program routines using the software's search and cross-reference tools.

  5. 5

    Correct the duplicate entries by renaming or deleting one instance of each duplicated label/tag to ensure uniqueness, and then re-verify the project for error resolution.
