Similar hardware is found in two different controllers automatically
we are having two PM 891 controllers with s900 IO cards (DO910, DX910, etc) each controller having 3 individual applications , the issue is hardware of 4 variables (of 4 objects) i.e. 4 Digital outputs of controller-1 were getting automatically assigned in controller-2's Harware which was holding different applications. this is happening when were are deleting or assigning new phases leading to fatal call to error handler and control builder getting crashed. By tracing the issue we had deleted and assigned the variables in their respective address and downloaded the controller but unfortunately same variables were jumbled again i.e from hardware of controller-1 to Controller-2 hardware.

You are suggesting there is a serious fault in the compiler. One garbled paragraph description with no screen shots is not enough. We are not mind readers. What programming and IO allocation tools are you using, what versions, what happens, when does it happen, how can somebody reproduce ?

Pic1.jpg is a known issue and is by design. You cannot re-allocate an IO channel to a new variable in a different application.
- Make sure your IO variables are uniquely named.
- Turn off "Copy Unused IO Channels" in the controller settings for all controllers.
- Disconnect the Variables from IO Channels 8.17.16.1 / 2 /3 / 4
- DO NOT RECONNECT THEM. Leave them *Blank*
- Download the changes
- Go offline
- Connect the new variables to channels 8.17.16.1 / 2 / 3 / 4
- The application should download correctly
This may or may not resolve the issue with Control Builder Crashing. Read the log files to see if there are any indications about what happens immediately prior to the crash. You will need to raise a support case with ABB if the issue is not resolved.

Not within my area of expertise. Frankly, I believe this belong to the regular support process - please contact your regional ABB support center.
