0029

INSTRUCTION INDIRECTION OUTSIDE OF DATA SPACE

Allen-Bradley · MicroLogix 1400 Programmable Controllers

What does 0029 mean?

An indirect address reference in the ladder program attempts to access memory locations outside of the entire data file space. This is a recoverable fault, indicating a programming error that could lead to unexpected behavior, data corruption, or controller instability.

Common Causes

  • Indirect addressing logic (e.g., using a pointer or indexed addressing) calculates an address beyond the allocated data file memory.
  • Incorrect array indexing or pointer arithmetic in the program.
  • Data file sizes are smaller than anticipated by the program's indirect references.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Correct the program logic to ensure that all indirect references point only to valid addresses within the defined data file space.

  2. 2

    Recompile and reload the corrected program into the controller.

  3. 3

    Enter the Run mode after the program is successfully reloaded.
