Results of examination in Validate view
The Validate →view displays errors, warnings or information that are reported when validating an object. Messages of particular interests are the ones that rules have been violated or warnings have been suppressed.
The Validate view is automatically visible, if you select the command Validate Object. A view is only valid for the object for which the command has been selected – this is indicated by the object name within the title.
MRC-report for validation
For each executed validation, a report is generated with the file extension .mrclog (short: MRC-report) and it is displayed in the project explorer. This MRC-report can also be used to see which rules have been checked for the validation, whether rules have been violated and/or whether warnings have been suppressed.
The name and the location of the generated MRC-report depends on the fact for which object the validation has been started:
|
Validation started for |
Name of MRC-report |
Location of filed MRC-report |
|
project |
project-name.prj.mrclog |
project folder |

POU within FBD-object |
object-name.iecfbd.pou.mrclog |

|
library (included in a library configuration) |

Observe the following:
If you start the validation repeatedly for the same object, the older MRC-reports are automatically overwritten.
Do not edit a MRC-report created by logi.CAD 3 (e.g. within a text editor). If you do, the edited MRC-reports become invalid and cannnot be processed by logi.CAD 3.
You are able to load an already existing MRC-report into the Validate view .
