• A connection between two input or two output signals is not possible
• A connection between two different data types is not possible: for example, from a
binary output to an analog input
5.1.8.2 Validation on demand
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 the user connects an output from a higher execution order
function 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 not
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.
