I have found out that if i have a TASK PERS tool in my station and i have changed it in my rapid code to be a PERS i get this exeption.

After change the tooldata in my station to be only a PERS i can sync my rutine to station with out exeption.

What if you change it in the “Synchronization” dialog? Do you get the same message?

What result would you expect? Would you expect the old tooldata to be overwritten without notification?

If only the value of an identifier changes, then it is overwritten. I will investigate why this change is handled differently.

stranged. now i can not reproduce the problem.

I have tried to change the decleration in the station to TASK PERS and my rapid is still just a PERS and now it will sync proberly.
