  2. And if the customer application is using direct addressing data instances on their code, %Mi, %MWi, %MDi, %MFi, %Si, %SWi, %SDi, %Ii, %IWi, %KWi, %KDi, %KFi.
  3. And when a PC or a VM multicore is used.

  2. Any controller programmed with EcoStruxure Expert V14.0 is concerned.

    2-Inside the code replace %MW10 by Toto.
