Disk File Write Protected or Not Accessible (Offline Only)
Allen-Bradley · Logix and SLC PLC
What does F01C mean?
This fault applies specifically to offline operations and indicates that a disk file cannot be written to because it is either write-protected or otherwise inaccessible. This prevents saving changes or creating new files on the disk.
Common Causes
- File system attribute set to read-only.
- Insufficient user permissions to write to the specified disk location.
- Disk corruption or network drive unavailability (for network files).
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Verify the logged-in user account has full read/write permissions for the directory containing the PLC project files.
- 2
Check the properties of the PLC project file and its parent folder to ensure the 'Read-only' attribute is not selected.
- 3
Inspect the available free disk space on the drive where the PLC project file is located to ensure sufficient capacity for saving.
- 4
Verify no antivirus or security software is actively blocking write operations to the project file directory.
- 5
Attempt to save the PLC project file to an alternate local disk location or a newly created folder to isolate the directory access issue.
