Exception when inserting a machine module (corrected from V3.17)

Corrected from:

PLC Designer V3.17

Standard ApplicationTemplate project template V3.17 and higher

Response of the new version:

When inserting a new machine module in the 'Insert Machine Module' dialog, the 'MM_' name can be entered in the User defined name field without triggering an exception.

What happens?

An unhandled exception occurs when inserting a new machine module.

When does this behaviour occur?

When inserting a new machine module (context menu command Insert Empty Module) in the 'Insert Machine Module' dialog, an exception occurs after entering the 'MM_' name in the User defined name field.

Which products are affected?
PLC Designer V3.13

Standard ApplicationTemplate project template from V3.13

ApplicationTemplate_PackML project template from V3.9

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.
