[avant,acorde] 1028:FORMAT ERR (ASCII) – Customer Support

This error occurs when the contents of an object file loaded (transferred) to the programmer cannot be read as ASCII code.

While the primary cause is invalid content in the object file, it can also occur if the programmer is unable to receive the file correctly.

①Abnormalities in the file's description (100% reproducibility)
　・The data lines in the file are cut off midway.
　・Lowercase alphabet (Hexadecimal A-F are used as lowercase letters)
　・The file itself is corrupted.

②Communication anomaly (occurred by chance)
　・The data was corrupted during the transfer.
　There may be an issue with the Ethernet communication system between the PC and the programmer.

③Programmer anomaly (100% reproducibility)
　・Current YIM folder is corrupted.
　・The large number of folders/files on the SD card is causing abnormal card access and preventing data
from being loaded.

④Programmer anomaly (occurred by chance)
　・SD card failure
　・Due to the aforementioned transfer error or some other file system abnormality, SD card access became abnormal (recovered to normal after a power reset).

This is a possible explanation.

①If the issue originates from a file, check the file's contents.
②If the problem lies in the communication system, check the network infrastructure.
　However, in this case, it is likely that some kind of error will occur with other command operations (such as EPR).
③④If the issue is related to the SD card, formatting it may resolve the problem.
　Please back up any folders on the card before formatting.
　The installed license remains on the card (it will not be deleted).

※If the process takes too long or times out, the error "111:NETIMPRESS Time Out 01" will occur.
　The timeout period is set using the SWX600.
　SWX600-[Configuration]-[Time Out]
　Because the check is performed in minutes, this usually doesn't happen, but if you get an 111 error, it's likely that the programmer is in a hang-up state and you'll need to power it on and off.
