Same-bus input cannot read value in other PCU [ERROR 10017]

Same-bus input Module 1,01,02 Block 12455 (FC 45) attempts to read value in other PCU 3

This message tells you that an IREF (Input Reference) exists in the Composer project. However, the function block cannot import it, because it is outside the scope of what it can import.

For example, if a Bus Import (AI/B, DI/B, AIL/B or DIL/B function) has a refererence in a different PCU, you will see this error. These functions can only import blocks from the same PCU, so the reference text is flawed if it in a different PCU.

It is possible to see how Composer, in being robust enough to import files from WinCAD, also allows errors to persist in the input references.

This message is likely to show an error in the system configuration. It should be reviewed. The issue raised may be in unused logic or graphics, or have other realities that make it a non-issue.
