AB Panelview message

[73project]

I have an Allen Bradley Panelview 900 that hangs on the initial boot with error #40. I found the error number to correspond to the message "no executable code to run after boot". I am booting with an application present on the flash memory card that is inserted in the back of the panelview, but you can't load the application unless you get past the boot sequence. Has anyone experienced this fault before? I'm wondering if the problem is coming from a missing file in the onboard eprom??

There are 2 reasons why the 40exe error happens.
1) If a power failure happens during a write to the internal compact flash card, it may corrupt the flash card. We are in the process of qualifing a different card that would minimize this occurance.
2) A corrupted version of the OS on the internal card. This most likely happens during an upgrade. If this happens during an upgrade, you can put the system.bin file at the root of the external compact flash card and restart the terminal.
A major reason why the system.bin file becomes corrupted is because a lot of people do not "eject" the card from the PC creating the upgrade card. By not ejecting, you take the risk that all the files may not have been copied.
