Why does the HMI editor create warnings?

FAQ #100425

 

Problem
The option "warn on symbols with same type or value" can be activated under Settings/Software/Advanced for easily finding multi-defined symbols. If this option is activated and a HMI-File is linked, it will generate several warnings (example below):

Warning 13: Symbols with same types and values
R 2008: Symbol 'S.HMI.PASS_0', Module: ii.hsr
R 2008: Symbol 's.hmi.PASSWORDLIST', Module: ii.hsr
R 2022: Symbol 's.hmi.ROOTVAR', Module: ii.hsr
R 2022: Symbol 'S.HMI.ROOTVAR_1', Module: ii.hsr

Reason
The HMI Editor creates an Array of Registers / Flags and the First Flag has therefore the same adresse as the whole Array (Array R 2008[10]; Register 2008).

Solution
These warnings can be ignored. They will not cause any malfunction or problems.
