"Invalid project folder" error message is displayed on creating a zenon logic project for programmed simulation with certain drivers

Summary

With certain drivers it is not possible to create a zenon logic project for the programmed driver simulation. An error message is displayed: "invalid project folder"


This concerns the following drivers:


  • 3S_32
  • 3S_Arti
  • 3S_Arti_NG
  • 3S_V3
  • 3964R32



Description

With certain drivers it is not possible to create a zenon logic project for the programmed driver simulation. An error message is displayed: "invalid project folder"


This concerns the following drivers:


  • 3S_32
  • 3S_Arti
  • 3S_Arti_NG
  • 3S_V3
  • 3964R32



Solution

An issue was addressed where the suggested project name for the project for programmed simulation was not compliant with the naming convention, as it started with a number.

Now the all invalid characters are correctly replaced with an "_", including a number as the first character, and in a new project a project for the programmed driver simulation can be created correctly.

Information

The fix in this build will only work for new drivers for which no attempt has been made to create a driver simulation project.

If an attempt was made to create a driver simulation project in a version where the issue existed and the error message was displayed, the incorrect project name for the driver simulation project is stored. Applying the build with this fix will not resolve this. Instead it is required to rename the suggested name for the zenon logic project for the programmed driver simulation in the Drivers table of the SQL database for the project. Renaming the suggested name is also a workaround for this issue if the build is not installed. Contact your local support for further assistance if you face this issue and are unsure how to rename the name of the zenon logic project for the programmed driver simulation in the SQL project database.
