Short-term measures:
Do not start the 'User defined name' of a machine module with the string 'MM_'.
Evaluation/recommendations:
The name of a machine module is composed of the string 'MM_' and the name entered in the User defined name field (e.g. MM_MachineControl). If the 'User defined name' already starts with 'MM_', this will lead to an exception.
