**Dear ABB family,**

I am trying to execute a trap/interrupt function and I get fallowing error, see photo below.  
I think i declare de "CONNECT"in wrong place.

Can someone give me a tip how to o it properly?

Thank you a lot.

Like the instruction error says, you cannot use the same variable name to connect with multiple traps. Create a unique variable name for each trap to solve the issue.

I don’t see where those variables are being declared, try setting it up like this

I think you need to call IDelete on intno1 and intno2 prior to connecting them to the trap

Like this:

IDelete intno1;  
IDelete intno2;  
CONNECT intno1 WITH HOLD;  
CONNECT intno2 WITH ManualHold;  
ISignalDI R\_HOLD,1,intno1;  
ISignalDI R\_ManualHOLD,1,intno2;
