F01C

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. 1

    Verify the logged-in user account has full read/write permissions for the directory containing the PLC project files.

  2. 2

    Check the properties of the PLC project file and its parent folder to ensure the 'Read-only' attribute is not selected.

  3. 3

    Inspect the available free disk space on the drive where the PLC project file is located to ensure sufficient capacity for saving.

  4. 4

    Verify no antivirus or security software is actively blocking write operations to the project file directory.

  5. 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.
