Siemens S7 PLC Error Codes and Causes/Solutions
Siemens S7 Error Codes, error number, error description and error cause.
Error number: | Text: | Cause: | Remedy: |
34:178 | Block call invalid because interface was changed in the meantime. | With Step7 V5.0 the instance DB of the DB type is entered in the symbol list for an FB call. This is no longer permitted with Step7 V5.0. In this case the “Update Call” function doesn’t work. | Enter the instance DB of the FB type in the symbol list. |
34:4321 | Error in column 1, distribute the program in little blocks. | ||
34:4355 | F Ze %2!06d! Sp %3!03d!: No PLC type description found for called or addressed block %4. | The block called is not available. | The block is to be compiled before the call. |
In the case of SFB/SFC calls, please copy into your offline database with the SIMATIC Manager (block container). | |||
If the SFB/SFC is not available on the CPU addressed, then it should not be called! | |||
34:4461 | The block %4 that was called/used is protected or created by S7-GRAPH and cannot be generated. | You are trying to generate a KNOW_HOW_PROTECT block into an STL source. | The block named is protected and cannot be generated into an STL source. |
34:4469 | The declaration range of your formal parameter does not match the declaration range of the actual parameter, for example, no OUTPUT paramater from the actual end can be assigned to an INPUT parameter from the formal end. | It is not allowed, that an OUT variable of the calling function block is parameterized with the IN variable of the function block called. | We recommend first saving the data temporarily on a static variable. In a further network this static variable is parameterized with the IN variable of the FB called. The output variable of the higher-level block, the static variable and the input variable of the lower-level block must be of the same data type. |
34:4485 | The parameter assignments can be specified in any order in the ASCII source. The comments, however, are stored separately from the actual online block in the order entered. Thus, when exchanging parameters in the source, the order of comments might then be wrong. When the block is opened, the comments are then assigned incorrectly. In the worst case comments might even be lost. The following comments in the network are also affected, even when the exchanged parameters are not even commented. | If you have entered comments for parameters, then when assigning the parameters, please keep to the order in which the parameters of the block called are declared. | |
Message appears when opening a VAT. The directory S7USS is missing in the SIEMENS\STEP7 directory. | Reinstall STEP 7. | ||
88:47 | Unable to reach the module %1 by means of the online interface that is set. | Programming device is connected to the MPI interface of the CPU. | Check whether the CPU is routing-compatible. If Not, then please set your MPI driver to PROFIBUS and connect up with the PROFIBUS DP. Then repeat the desired function. |
Error number: | Text: | Cause: | Remedy: |
256:24 | Function open Environment is not implemetiert | Multiple start of the SIMATIC Manager | In the STEP7_V2/S7met directory delete the files S7CacheA.dat and S7ser.dat with Win95 Explorer. The ending .dat can be left out; depending on the options package, there is also an S7CacheB -E.dat |
256:26 | Internal OLE Error. | Not enough space on the hard disk, the database cannot be started. | Create space on the hard disk and set user-defined virtual memory. |
Wrong DLL in Windows/System and/or wrong Registry entry. | Start program editor via Explorer and evaluate error message. | ||
If the following message appears: “The file S7HRVERX.DLL is linked with the missing export S7OTBLDX.DLL: s7_set_password.”, then check whether the file ‘S7OTBLDX.DLL’ is in the Windows system directory. When implementing STEP 7 V4.02, you must delete this file from the Windows system directory. | |||
If the following message appears: “The file S7KAFAPX is linked with the missing export OT5050R.DLL:4224”, check whether the OT5050R 2x is on the computer. Rename all except those that are in the S7BIN directory. | |||
With V3.1 when printing | With V3.1 copy block comment into network comment. | ||
WIN 95: the OLE was not installed properly when installing WINDOWS. | Delete Windows directory and then reinstall WINDOWS. | ||
Message appears when opening a VAT. The S7USS directory is missing in the directory SIEMENS\STEP7. | Reinstall STEP 7. | ||
256:30 | SCL: Programming of S7 moduls. The object was deleted. | Error occurs when you export an SCL source, delete it in the SIMATIC Manager and then import it again and compile it. | Delete the block contained in the source in the SIMATIC Manager first and only then compile. |
256:31 | This object was not found. | An object that fulfills the criteria specified is not available. The function triggered cannot be executed. The assignments in the OFFLINE database with regard to the HW configuration are no longer consistent. | You can reorganize the addresses with key combination <CTRL>+<ALT>+<F11>. |
256:32 | Not valid objects. | A link has obviously been lost. | In V2.1 projects the solution is to use “Save As with Reorganization” |
256:35 | Internal system error is not repairable. | ||
256:49 | The quoted entry is not in the registry by Windows or contains a not valid value. | Error occurred when downloading SDBs into a remote CPU via TeleService. The cause here was a bad telephone line connection (analog) (in the USA). After several attempts to set up an ONLINE connection, the SDBs could be transferred without this error message. An attempt was also made to achieve a higher transmission rate with the ONLINE connection. | Set up the connection over and over again and wait for a better line quality. Try to get a higher transmission rate (<- indicator for better line quality at the time of connection set up). |
Error number: | Text: | Cause: | Remedy: | |
256:53 | Internal error: Not valid pointer. | In PLCSIM an attempt was made to load the last simulation in PLCSIM via the menu item Simulation -> Last Simulation. Since the old project data (e.g. also block interfaces) has perhaps changed in the meantime, some of the data of the simulation originally created no longer matches the current project. | Create a new simulation via Simulation -> New PLC. The next time you run the last simulation the latest new simulation will be loaded without error message. | |
256:56 | There is an internal error in the system. | Project might be damaged. | Terminate application and restart. | |
If the error re-occurs, restart Windows. | ||||
STEP 7 V5.x: There is an internal error in the system. | Send project in to the Technical SIMATIC Customer Support. | |||
256:57 | There is an not repairable error in the system during the programming. The function can not be implemented. | ProjID.pro might possibly exist when dearchiving. | Copy/move ProjID.pro. | |
256:62 | Not repairable internal system error in refer to the file “symlist.dbf”. | Project might be damaged. | Computer might have crashed. | Save as … with consistency check or recreate the project. |
256:63 | Please see the remedies by errror number 258:15. | |||
256:68 | The object … cannot be edited because it is currently opened by another application or another user. | This message appears when you start the “File > Save as…” function together with the “With reorganization (slowly)” option if there are still applications open (e.g. Symbol Table) in the project which is being reorganized. | Before reorganizing, close all the applications in the project. | |
256:85 | SIMATIC Manager expects formatted names. | Enter correct name with VAT<digit>. | ||
256:89 | The version 513 of the objekt XR00001 is not compatible in refer to the installed software. | Legacy from V2 in XUTIL catalog | Delete the XUTIL directory in the project path | |
256:92 | The data can only be read. | This might be data, for example, from a project or library. The cause might be that there are no write rights for the directory or drive in which the data are located. | Make sure that you have the appropriate rights to access the drive or directory where the data is located. Remedy: Using a virus scanner in Runtime mode can lead to faults. Do the virus scanning offline (i.e. at times when you are not working on your STEP 7 project) or disable the virus scanner on your computer. | |
The data is being processed by a different application or by a different user. | Save the modifications made in a different application and make sure that no other user processes this data at the time in question. |
Error number: | Text: | Cause: | Remedy: |
The data are read-only. | You have copied a data backup of a project from a CD onto your hard disk and now cannot open this project. The reason for this is that all the files of the project have the attribute “write-protected” set. There are various ways of removing the write-protection from files. One such is described below. | 1. Mark the project in the explorer, where is saved in the folder and click on the right mouse botton (example: D:\…\Siemens\Step7\S7Proj\<Project>). 2. Open in the context menu the “Properties” and select “Security”. 3. Here you can allow the “Read” and other functions by “Permissions for Administrators”. 4. Click after on “Apply” and “OK”. | |
256:93 | The rights of write is missing in the directory. | The directory in which the S7P file is located is write-protected. | Remove the write-protection from all directories that have to do with the project. |
Not enough space on the disk < 100 bytes | |||
If STEP 7 V4.x is concerned, then it might be that a file has not been deleted, which still specifies that the project is still on a write-protected drive. | Delete S7APROMX.TXT in the root directory of the project. | ||
256:94 | Problems with the offline folder. | This message may be due to the fact that the project has been dearchived on a computer and edited with an options package whose version is no longer compatible with the current STEP 7 version. | First of all check the versions of all the options packages installed on your computer which are required for editing the project. You may need to install one or other update (service pack) or upgrade (new version). You can find information about compatibility with SIMATIC software packages for your STEP 7 version in Entry ID 18734363. Then make a copy of your project with “File > Save as…” and the option “With reorganization (slow)”. |
256:100 | Authorization of STEP 7 is not found. | No Basic Authorization installed. Error occurs when attempting to start an installed options package. Probably STEP 7 is only authorized as Mini. | Install Basic Authorization |
256:104 | Authorization of optional package is not found. | No user rights (authorization) found for the options software on drive C:. | Install the options authorization from the authorization floppy disk included in the delivery package. If you have lost the authorization (e.g. through a fault on the hard disk), you can install the emergency authorization to be able continue working for a limited period of time. You must then procure a replacement for the lost authorization during this limited time. |
WIN NT: insufficient access rights. | To operate S7 software under NT you need at least main user rights. | ||
256:107 | The object specified could not be copied. There might not be enough space left on the data medium. Possibly the target directory is momentarily blocked by another application. | Press the “Yes” button to continue the copy or save operation for the remaining objects. The copied objects might possibly be incomplete or defective in the new environment. If you press the “No” button, the copy or save operation is aborted. |
Error number: | Text: | Cause: | Remedy: |
Possibly another STEP 7 application has opened the object to be copied and has thus blocked it. In this case, close all other STEP 7 applications and trigger the process again. | |||
256:111 | Access denied | Your have repeatedly loaded a program in the SPS and now it is not possible to load the program again, also not after a new start. | Start the service “Server” in the control panel. |
256:119 | There is no authorization for STEP 7. To operate this optional package, you require the authorization for “STEP 7 V4.x”. | No authorization installed or the path in which the STEP 7 project is located is too long. | Install the authorization or shorten the project path as appropriate. |
257:5 | One or more objects of a type cannot be represented. Unable to load the server ‘s7uvpomx.dll’ for _S7UV_LIST_CT-objects. Make sure that the required optional packages are installed. | The process variable server cannot be started. Installation problem with STEP 7. There must not be any incompatible version of WinCC installed on the computer. | Please check the version of the software package installed against the compatibility list. This is located in your STEP 7 directory as the file S7KOMP_x.PDF. x stands for the language: a=German b=English, c=French, d=Spanish, e=Italian. |
Mixed installation, a V4.0 or V4.01 was installed before the installation STEP 7 V5.x. | Deinstall STEP 7 manually and then reinstall it. See FAQ 189025 | ||

In the SIMATIC Manager create a copy of your project (with File > Save as…, Option “With Reorganization (slow)”). Here, the objects that belong to non-installed options packages are deleted in the target project. This error message will then no longer be issued when working with the copy of the project. | |||
257:24 | creat environment is not implemented. | SIMATIC Manager has been started double or computer has crashed. | With V2.x, delete the *.dat files in the S7met directory. In any case, procure the latest correction version. |
257:26 | Not repairable internal system error. The link could not be inserted. | Message appears when you trigger the function “Display Reference Data”. Links are distorted in the project. | Use the function “Save as” together with the option “With Reorganization (slowly)”. |
Message also appears when forwarding a project in conjunction with the symbol table. | |||
257:79 | The project or parts of it are currently being edited by another application. | This message appears when you start the “File > Reorganize…” function if there is still an application open (e.g. Symbol Table) in the project which is being reorganized. | Before reorganizing, close all the applications in the project. |
257:90 | The project ‘%1’ contains errors in the internal data structure. | Project data damage by a crash/power failure on the computer. With the “Details” button you can receive more information on the error, if available. | 1. Close all the STEP 7 applications except the SIMATIC Manager. 2. With the menu command “File > Save as (with reorganization (slow)) ” create a of the project which you can then continue to work with. Because of the faults in the existing project, this copy might not contain all the data of the original project. |
257:94 | Open of project: <Date and Time> S7fupos: Internal error during save of data of server S7ombstx.dll. | Inconsistent project. Application FM 453 has registered errors when saving the machine DBs. A possible cause is the shortage of storage space on the computer. | 1. Close all the STEP 7 applications except the SIMATIC Manager. 2. With the menu command “File > Save as (with reorganization (slow)) ” create a of the project which you can then continue to work with. Because of the faults in the existing project, this copy might not contain all the data of the original project. |
258:1 | Unable to open project data %1. | IDB defined as GDB in the symbol table. | Define IDB correctly. In the case of V2.1, use Save as… for the project. |
258:17 | The directory C:\Siemens\STEP7\S7proj\temp exist already. | The temporary SDBDATA directory created must have been destroyed by the crash. | In the directory [DRIVE]:\Siemens\STEP7\S7TEMP delete the directory SDBDATA including subdirectories. |
258:20 | After archiving call File > Title Field and note the Title Field specifications. After dearchiving you can reestablish these specifications manually via File > Title Field. | ||
258:15 | Some files or data blocks are write-protected and, therefore, the data can only be accessed on a read-only basis. This may be due to the fact that write access does not exist for the directory or drive where this data is located, or the block may have been saved as write-protected for reference purposes. | Ensure that you are authorized to access the drive or folder where the data is located. |
Error number: | Text: | Cause: | Remedy: |
There are still blocks (FCs, FBs, DBs and/or OBs) open and, as a result, the associated projects and directories cannot be deleted. | Close any STEP 7 (and WinCC flex) editors which are still open. We also advise you to close STEP 7 (and WinCC flex). Go to the Task Manager to check whether there are still any S7 processes in operation and, if so, close them. Then start STEP 7 again and delete the project via “File > Delete”. | ||
If the remedies under the last above points do not help, close STEP 7 again and delete the project in the Explorer. You can find the folder for the saved project in Fig. 01 under “<Drive>\Program Files\Siemens\Step7\S7Proj\<Project> It is possible that the data areas of the HW Config, NetPro, Symbol Table or other STEP 7 components have not been released again completely after being closed. You should be able to delete the projects again after rebooting your PC. | |||
If the last remedy point does not help either and the project which you wish to delete is still present under the menu commands “File > Open…” and “File > Delete…”, some of the files in the SIMATIC software may be damaged. In most cases, the repair function on the STEP 7 CD can be used to restore the software status on your PC. | Otherwise, we recommend that you uninstall STEP 7 completely beforehand and also delete the directories in the Registry Editor. Follow the procedure precisely as described in our FAQ on “Complete Deinstallation of STEP 7 including all Software Packages”. You can find this FAQ in Entry ID 189025. | ||
275:5020 | There is an internal error in the file S7nlvblx.dll. | Save your entries and close the application. Switch your computer off/on and restart the application. If the error reoccurs, then please get in touch with your system administrator. | |
276:27 | No valid connection path between local and remote partners (e.g. because of missing network connection or exhausted resources). | HotFix 1 for SP2 clears this problem. This error is still in SP3 at the moment, but will be cleared by another Add On. | |
276:42 | Loopback – Connecting are not allowed! | Loopback connections are not permitted. You can specify an identical address as local and remote user address, but then SDB generation is rejected with an error message. | Problem (V4.02 and higher) is cleared with correction release K4.02.5. You can ignore this error message, because the communication functions despite this error message. |
276:5020 | An internal error occurred. (Call: AUTReloadObject) | ||
288:48 | Unable to reach the module (z.B.) 413-2DP by means of the subnet assigned to the programming device/PC. | In a new project, for example, a hardware upload was made from the CPU to the PG. In the attempt to immediately download this upload, this error message appears. Problem: under Properties in Options -> Set PG/PC interface, 1 is preset as local user address on the MPI bus. But this does not match the address configured in the hardware upload and hence the error message. | Under Properties in Options -> Set PG/PC interface, set the local user address to 0 (or the one configured previously). |

The Symbol Editor does not show any changes (it is not possible to save the table) and it is not possible to access the symbols. | Editing the entries in the symbol editor is still possible. Make the changes directly in the symbol table and save it. After saving the table, you can edit the symbols in the LAD/FBD/STL editor after closing and opening the dialog box again. If you want to edit the symbols directly in the LAD/FBD/STL editor, close the symbol editor and reopen the dialog box “Edit symbols” in the LAD/FBD/STL editor. Editing is now possible. You can also simultaneously open the symbol table. Changes in other applications are automatically applied in the table. |

291:416 | The symbol table is occupied by another process | In this case you can no longer edit, delete or import the symbol table. The symbol table is not occupied by any other application for writing. You have stored the project locally on the hard disk. The same error is also displayed with the “Save with Reorganization” function of the project. | One possible cause of the error is that after a program crash of the symbol editor, temporary files are not deleted in the S7 data management. In order to control this, check your project: 1. In each project there is a “..\YDBs” directory where all the symbol lists are stored. 2. Use Explorer to find files with the suffix .dbf tmp in this and all subordinate directories. 3. Terminate the STEP7 applications and delete these files. Then you can edit all the symbol lists again. It is imperative to make sure that you do not delete other files by mistake in the project, because this could destroy the project. |
1. First of all try closing all the STEP 7 applications including the SIMATIC Manager. If the symbol table is then opened via the SIMATIC Manager, an attempt is first made to clear any inconsistencies in the symbol table through a sort of internal “repair” service. 2. If editing the symbol table continues to be impossible, then please reboot your computer to make sure that all the STEP 7 applications have been closed. Then open the symbol table again. 3. If none of the above steps is successful, open the “..\YDB” path mentioned above in the project directory. In this directory delete any files with the file name “deleted.txt” and “update.txt” and a size of 0 KB and any empty folders. You will then be able to edit the symbol table again | |||
