The validity of an application configuration can be checked by clicking Validate Configuration in the toolbar. The Application Configuration tool checks the application configuration for formal correctness. The found problems are divided into warnings and errors.
- Warnings, marked with a yellow warning icon
- Example: a variable connected to an output signal that is not connected
- Example: if an output from a user connects an output from a higher execution order function is connected to inputs of lower execution order function
- Errors, marked with a red circle with a cross
- Example: unconnected hardware output
Warnings do not prevent writing to the IED. However, errors must be corrected before writing the application configuration to the IED. The application configuration can be saved and the Application Configuration tool can be closed with open errors, but the application configuration cannot be written to the IED.
These problems are listed in the Output view under the Application Configuration tab. Double-clicking the error or warning row navigates to the MainApplication/Page/Area, where the problem was identified.
