Writing to the removable data medium unsuccessful

What does A01019 mean?

An attempt to write data to the removable data medium (e.g., an SD card) has failed. This could indicate a faulty medium, improper insertion, or write protection. Unsuccessful data backups mean that critical parameters or logs are not being saved, risking data loss if the system experiences a fault or power cycle.

• The removable data medium (e.g., SD card) is physically write-protected (e.g., the write-protect switch is in the 'lock' position).
• The removable data medium is faulty or corrupted (e.g., bad sectors, reached end of write cycles, incompatible format).
• The removable data medium is not properly inserted or fully seated in its slot on the module.
• Insufficient free storage space on the removable data medium to complete the write operation.
• Incompatibility between the module and the specific type or capacity of the removable data medium being used.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Remove the data medium (e.g., SD card) and check if its write-protection switch is in the unlocked position; toggle and re-insert.

2. 2

   Carefully re-insert the data medium into its slot, ensuring it is fully seated and securely latched.

3. 3

   Attempt to format the data medium on a PC (if possible, after backing up any critical data) and then re-insert it into the module.

4. 4

   Try using a different, known-good and compatible removable data medium of appropriate type and capacity.

5. 5

   Verify the amount of data attempting to be written and compare it to the available free space on the data medium.

6. 6

   Check the module's diagnostic buffer for any related storage or file system errors that provide further detail.
