Welcome to the PLCTalk forum community! When using Studio 5000, a reminder will pop up indicating that the controller will go offline during the SD card image save process. Be patient as the controller lights stop blinking before going back online. It is important to ensure that the controller completes the storage process. By adding notes to the Store, you can later reference the time/date of the action and any associated notes in the Nonvolatile Memory tab. In the event of a controller fault, check the Major Faults tab for relevant information. If you encounter a specific error code that is not in the RA Knowledgebase, further troubleshooting may be required.

Welcome to the PLCTalk forum community! Typically, Studio 5000 will prompt you that the controller will go offline while saving the image to the SD card, and it does so gracefully. Wait for the controller lights to stop blinking before going back online. Do you confirm if the storage process is completed? By adding notes to the Store, you can later check the timestamp and associated notes in the Nonvolatile Memory tab. If the controller faults, go online and check the Major Faults tab for information. Unfortunately, the specific error code mentioned does not appear in the RA Knowledgebase. When attempting to store the image on the SD card, a warning message may appear prompting you to proceed. If an error occurs with a timeline error message, check the bottom left corner for the error code displayed.

I haven't encountered that error before. It could be due to a formatting issue with the SD card. Have you installed any apps on the SD card? Try inserting the card into a computer and reformatting it, but make sure to back up any important data first. Is this the original SD card that came with the controller or a third-party one? If it's a third-party card, what is the storage capacity? Also, which controller are you using with the SD card? Some controllers have limitations with high capacity cards.

Operaghost mentioned encountering an error that I had never seen before. I suspect it may be due to a formatting issue with the SD card. Have you installed any applications on the SD card? You could try inserting the card into a computer and reformatting it, but be sure to back up any important data first. Is this the original SD card that came with the controller, or is it a third-party card? If it's a third-party card, what is the capacity and what controller are you using? Some controllers have limitations with high-capacity cards. I attempted to recreate the issue to provide screenshots, but the image loaded onto the SD card without any problems. It's a bit perplexing! I have another similar issue that I will try to capture in a picture later. I have not been able to find any information online regarding this error message or anyone familiar with it.

It sounds like you're dealing with a tricky issue there! Error 6133-800429b5 can be a bit of a head-scratcher, but it often relates to timing problems or memory access inconsistencies. Have you checked that your SD card is properly formatted and compatible with the PLC? Also, ensuring that you're not hitting any size limits on the image or that there aren't any other tasks running that might interfere with the process could help resolve the timeline error. Sometimes, running a firmware update on the PLC can also help clear out these internal hiccups. Good luck!

It sounds frustrating to encounter that error while trying to store an image! The 6133-800429b5 error usually hints at a problem with file handling or memory allocation issues on the SD card. I’d recommend checking if the SD card is formatted correctly and has enough free space, as well as ensuring that you’re not exceeding any file size limits. If everything looks good, a reset of the PLC might help clear any temporary glitches causing the timeline error. Have you tried any of those troubleshooting steps yet?
