Bad array. | Array Range = <start> to <end>.
Error Type:
Error
Possible Cause:
An array of addresses spans past the end of the address space.
Possible Solution:
Verify the size of the device's memory space and redefine the array length accordingly.

Possible Solution:
Shut down all unnecessary applications and try again.
File exception encountered during tag import.
Error Type:
Warning
Possible Cause:
The variable import file could not be read.
Possible Solution:
Regenerate the variable import file.
Error parsing record in import file. | Record number = <number>, Field = <number>.
Error Type:
Warning
Possible Cause:
The specified field in the variable import file could not be parsed because it is longer than expected or invalid.
Possible Solution:
Edit the variable import file to change the offending field.
Description truncated for record in import file. | Record number = <number>.
Error Type:
Warning
Possible Cause:
The tag description in specified record is too long.
Possible Solution:
The driver truncates descriptions as needed. To prevent this error, edit the variable import file to shorten the description.
Imported tag name is invalid and has been changed. | Tag name = '<tag>', Changed tag name = '<tag>'.
Error Type:
Warning
Possible Cause:
The tag name encountered in the variable import file contained invalid characters.
Possible Solution:
The driver constructs valid names based on the variable import file. To prevent this error and maintain name consistency, change the name of the exported variable.
A tag could not be imported because the data type is not supported. | Tag name = '<tag>', Unsupported data type = '<type>'.
Error Type:
Warning
Possible Cause:
The data type specified in the variable import file is not one of the types supported by this driver.
Possible Solution:
Change the data type in variable import file to one of the supported types. If the variable is for a structure, manually edit the file to define each tag required for the structure or manually configure the required tags in the server.
