Enter a name for the handler by double-clicking the handler field in the Interrupt.

 1002 Invalid reference

<container> has no child diagram

There is an error in the model where an Active Container does not have a diagram assigned to it.

Add a new container to the diagram. Move all children over from the incorrect container. Remove the incorrect one and rename the added container to the name of the removed container. When you press  Ctrl + Click, the child diagram should open.

 1003 No content to generate

<component> has no content to generate

An empty container exists in the model.

Add at least one active part or remove the container. It is also possible to set the GenerateCode property of the container to ‘false’.

 1104 Invalid Child Element

<active part> has child item

An active part must not contain a child item.

The system does not allow to this situation since DATAFLOW Version 1.3.

 1200 Field Must Not Be An Array

<protocol field> of type <Type> cannot have an array size > 0.

The field type does not support being defined as an array.

Set the ArraySize property to 0 using the property inspector.

 1201 Field must not have a range

<protocol field> of type <Type> must have no range.

Only integer fields support ranges.

Remove the range from the field using the property inspector.

 1202 Field must be an array

<protocol field> of type char must be an array

The char type only supports strings, and therefore must be an array.

Set the ArraySize property in the property inspector to a value >1 or change the field type to unit8.

 1203 Invalid Data Type

<driver interface> driver <Type> must be set

Driver Type is not set.

Set the type of all drivers used in the model.

 1204 Field must be a protocol

<protocol filed> of type <Type> must not exceed 65535 bytes

A Protocol inside a Protocol has no field assigned (empty protocol inside a protocol).

Define the fields for all protocols that are used inside a protocol.

 1205 Protocol Type Size to Large

<protocol filed> of type <Type> must not exceed 65535 bytes

The total sum of the memory required for all protocol fields may not exceed 65535 bytes.

Reduce the sum of bytes from all total members or reduce the number of members to reduce the protocol size.

 Other Errors (No ID)

DffGenerator Version x.x.x.x is not compatible with DATAFLOW Designer …

DATAFLOW Designer does not support the referenced generator version.

Open the project settings and set the Generator Executable Path in the Generator Tab to a supported DffGenerator.

Cannot build project ‘<Name>’ …

The generator was unable to build the project due to file access errors.

Close all Windows Explorer windows that point to a subdirectory of the generated code folder and close all open files.

2000 Unused reference

<protocol field> has type reference to <type>

A native field must not have a type reference.

Switch the field to another type and back again, or remove it and add it again.

<protocol field> has native type <type> set

A protocol/enum field must not have the native type property set.

Set the property to none in the property inspector.

2100 Unexpected Diagram Element

<diagram> contains <N> <spacer/hardwareInterface> outside an active part/container

The elements are probably not used anymore.

Remove the floating elements.

<interrupt> has <N> input ports

An Interrupt must not have any input ports.

Remove the input port.

2101 No protocol assigned to port

<port> has no protocol assigned

No protocol is assigned to the port. The generator will therefore generate a generic send method for this port.

Assign a protocol to the output or remove it.

2102 Active part has no input port

<active part> has no input port

An Active Part must have an input port.

Add an input port named “PortIn”.

2103 Active part has no output port

<interrupt> has no output ports

An Interrupt should have at least one output port to be useful.

Add an output port.

2104 Input port has no incoming channels

<input port> has no incoming channels assigned

The Active Part receives no messages and the generator will therefore generate no message handlers.

Connect channels to the input port or remove it.

2105 Output port has no outgoing channels

<output port> has no outgoing channel assigned

The output port will not send the message to any other active part.

Connect a channel to the output port or remove it.

2106 Conflicting priorities

<external input port> connects to different priorities

The input port of a container has been connected to active parts with different priorities. This may have unexpected effects regarding the order of execution of received messages.

Remove connection, change priorities or add an active part as dispatcher.

2107 Conflicting Protocols

<external port> receives different protocols

Different protocols are connected to the same output port.

Add an additional output port to the container for each protocol.

2200 Empty type group

<protocol field> of type ‘enum/protocol’ has native type <Type> set

This means that the field properties of a protocol field are inconsistent. A protocol or enum field should not have a native type.

Set the property ‘NativeType’ of the field to ‘None’

2201 Enum Base Type Int64

<enumeration> uses base type Int64

Older C++98 compilers may not support enumerators for the whole range of the int64 data type.

Disable warning if the used compiler can handle this enumeration base type.

Information

Explanation

How to Fix

3000 Normalized Name

<element> name was normalized (original name: ‘…’)

The name entered for the given element was normalized.

Enter the displayed name for the element instead of the current name.

3001 Protocol used as signal

<protocol> has no fields, used as signal

Protocols without a field will generate an identifier but no protocols class.

Add fields to the protocol if it was not meant to be a signal or remove the protocol.
