Description

Validate PLC target results in Error 8036.

 

Resolution

PME Duplicate Address setting is set to Prevent hence will flag this condition as an error when more than one variable name is referenced to the same reference address.

User can change this setting from prevent to a warning or ignore.

Go into Navigator left most tab to get into PME settings. Then Controller Folder > General > Duplicate address is set for Prevent

Change this to warn or ignore. Then validate the target and the error becomes a warning.
