Validating objects

Validation relating to the type

How to validate the →POUs and resources within a →project or →folder:

From the context menu of the project or folder, select Validate Object.
Result: The corresponding objects are examined based on rules according to the configuration for the project. The results of the examination are displayed within a Validate: object name view.

How to validate a POU or an interface:

Expand the ST-object or the FBD-object displayed in the project explorer.
Open the context menu for the POU displayed in the sub-level.
Select the command Validate Object.
Result: analogous to the validation that has been started for a project or a folder

Good to know
Neuron Power Engineer provides a tool for the automated validation. Neuron Power Engineer does not validate library elements that are included in installed →libraries. Usually, the library elements are validated based on their library configuration before the library is installed (see "Validation relating to the library").

Validation relating to the instance

How to validate a →resource:

Expand the PLC-object displayed in the project explorer.
Open the context menu for the resource displayed in the sub-level.
Select the command Validate Object.
Result: All objects that are used starting from the resource are examined based on rules according to the configuration for the resource. The results of the examination are displayed within a Validate: object name view as well.

A validation relating to the instance affects the following elements and their components: program →instance and program type that have been assigned with the resource →function blocks for which the instance is called in the context of the resource (e.g. within the program type previously mentioned) →functions that are called within the context of the resource (e.g. within a function block previously mentioned)

Validation relating to the library

How to validate a →library based on the library configuration:

Expand the library configuration displayed in the project explorer.
Open the context menu for the library displayed in the sub-level.
Select the command Validate Object.
Result: All objects that are specified within the library configuration are examined based on rules according to the configuration for the project. The results of the examination are displayed within a Validate: object name view as well.

In case of logi.SAFE libraries and logi.WEB libraries, additional rules are applied (see "Peculiarities for logi.SAFE/logi.WEB libraries").
