Application Number already exists
When an FLN device source is chosen, and the device reference application number is
different from the device’s Custom APPLICATION number but an application
description with the same application number already exists on the ALN, an error
message displays.
The intention is to always keep all device references with the same APPLICATION
number running with identical application databases. Therefore, if a device already
exists on the ALN with the identified Application number, then that device should be
selected as the source, and its database loaded.
Database Error
When an FLN application source (device or file) is chosen, and the application source
database is invalid because of application number, or file syntax, or device restrictions,
the following error message displays:
● The error may display if the source (file or device) indicates an invalid custom
application number. Verify that the custom application number of the source is
within the correct range. If the source is a UEC/panel device or file for a
UEC/panel, verify that the Relinquish Default value of the APPLICATION point is
within the range of 1 through 32767 (preferred range is 10000 through 11999). If
the source is a PTEC device or files for a PTEC, verify that the PPCL program is
setting the APPLICATION point value in the range of 1 through 32767 (preferred
range is 12000 through 12999).
● If the error displays after you have selected files for a PTEC (.pgm, .obj), the syntax
checking of the .pgm file may prevent use of this file in Database Manager. As a
workaround, use the PPCL Editor Import functionality to view the syntax error and
load the .pgm file. Then use the
Select a Device option in the Database Manager
to update.
