Troubleshooting CPU224 S7-200 PLC Download Error in Micro Win V4

Question:

Hello, friends and experts. I have a question regarding my CPU224 S7-200 PLC that I am using for a new project. I have written a program in Micro Win V4 software and attempted to download it to the CPU224 CN, but encountered the following error message: "A compile error occurred, check non-fatal error for more information." A friend suggested changing the software language to Chinese, but this did not resolve the issue and the same error persisted. I am using Windows XP as my operating system and PPI communication. Can anyone please provide a solution to this problem?

If you're unable to recall where you found it, make sure to check for a report on the non-fatal error for further insight. "Refer to non-fatal error for additional details."

Hello, BryanGI, I recently checked the PLC Information and noticed a Non-fatal error 82 displaying a message stating "Illegal instruction, check instruction mnemonics." I am unsure of its meaning and would appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this issue. Can you please suggest the next steps I should take?

Hey Lare, I noticed you were looking for information on page one but the link you provided leads to page two. In thread 31705, the quote from page one explains the process of downloading a program from a Siemens S7-200 CN PLC. To do so, you need Microwin 4.0 + SP5, Windows Chinese language support, and select Chinese in Microwin tools > options > general. While all written words may appear as question marks, you will still be able to upload and download the program successfully. For more details, you can visit the following links: - http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/showthread.php?t=105125 - http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/showthread.php?t=31705 Keywords: Siemens S7-200 CN PLC, Microwin 4.0 + SP5, Windows Chinese language support, upload and download program.

Your problem might be related to either incorrect programming symbols or function blocks. The "non-fatal error" typically indicates that the program has some bits and pieces that aren't meshing together as they should. Try scanning through your code for any potential syntax errors, misplaced logic operators, or unsupported function blocks. If that doesn't help, re-installing MicroWin V4 may also do the trick, just to repair any corrupted files. Also, it's worth considering upgrading your operating system as Windows XP is quite outdated and this could contribute to compatibility issues.

Hey there, it seems like you're facing a common issue with programming for CPU224. While changing the software language might not solve your problem, the error message you're getting usually suggests that there's a coding mistake somewhere within your program. Micro Win V4 should have an error list or debugger that can help you isolate where exactly the mistake in the code is occurring. I'd suggest checking that out and see if that helps. Also, make sure you have the latest updates for both your OS and the Micro Win software, as this could also be causing certain compatibility issues.
