Code 12460: [Channel %1: ] Block %2 maximum number of symbols exceeded with %3

Parameters: %1 = Channel number %2 = Block number, label %3 = Source string Definitions: The max. number of variable definitions (GUD, LUD), macro definitions, cycle programs and/or cycle parameters (PROC instruction) that the contro ller's data management system is able to handle has been exceeded. If this alarm occurs in conjunction with alarm 15175, not enough memory for the preprocessing of the cycle program definitions is available (PROC instruction). If this alarm occurs in conjunction with alarm 15180, then this alarm shows the name of the file (INI or DEF file) causing the error. (For a list of names of INI files and their meaning -> please refer to alarm 6010) Reaction: Correction block is reorganized. Interface signals are set. Alarm display. Remedy: Generally reduce the number of sym bols in the affected block (possi bly by using the array technique or by using R parameters), or adapt the corresponding machine data (see below). MD28020 $MC_MM_NUM_LUD_NAMES_TOTAL with error in LUD blocks (i.e. if more variable definitions were made in the active part program than allowed by the MD). GUD data blocks can cause errors as part of the 'initial.ini download' process (e.g. in the case of a series start-up) or by selective activation via PI service _N_F_COPY (act ivate GUD via HMI dialog). If alarm 15180 refers to a GUD definition file, then MD18120 $MN_MM_NUM_GUD_NAMES_NCK or MD18130 $MN_MM_NUM_GUD_NAMES_CHAN is set to a value that is too small. Macros are loaded during POWER ON/NCK RESET or selectively via PI service _N_F_COPY (activate macro via HMI dialog). If alarm 15180 refe rs to a macro definition file, then MD18160 $MN_MM_NUM_USER_MACROS is set to a value that is too small. Cycle program definitions (PROC instruction) ar e reloaded at each POWER ON/NCK RESET. In case of failure check parameter %3 to find out whether the name of the cycle program has caused the error - in this case, the value of MD18170 $MN_MM_NUM_MAX_FUNC_NAMES should be increased, or whether the name of a cycle call parameter has caused the error - in this case, the value of MD18180 $MN_MM_NUM_MAX_FUNC_PARAM should be increased. Program Continuation: Clear alarm with NC ST ART or RESET key and continue the program.
