Corrected from: PLC Designer V3.12
Response of the new version:
The Export PLCopenXML command has been removed from the Project menu.
What happens:
When importing a PLCopenXML file (menu command Project>Import PLCopenXML), different error messages are displayed in the message window:
- Device description 'filename.xml' invalid: Instance validation error
- Creating the 'objectname' object failed. Cause: Error in XML document
- Creating the 'objectname' object failed. Cause: The device cannot be added or inserted here.
- ...
When does this behaviour occur?
If an entire project including axis groups and virtual axes has been exported with the menu command Project>Export PLCopenXML, the above-described error messages occur when importing this file with the menu command Project>Import PLCopenXML. The corresponding objects are not imported into the project.
Which products are affected?
PLC Designer V3.0 and higher
Short-term measures/recommendations:
Use the menu commands Project>Export and Project>Import to export and import project parts.
Evaluation:
The import of PLCopenXML files may lead to error messages. Use the Import/Export function of the PLC Designer instead.
