Summary:
The #RANGE Error not always displayed. I defined 2 vairable tags both with the same address on the same IO device. The 1st tag had an Eng. range of 0 to 100 while the 2nd has an Eng. range of 0 to 200. The IO device is a Generic disk PLC but I don't know if this makes any difference. If you write a value of 200 to the 2nd tag you do not get a #RANGE for the 1st tag error on the display page. Bu if you run a report with these two tags you do get a #RANGE error for the 1st tag.

Solution:
This is the correct operation. Range errors have been disabled on the graphic display (from version 3.21 and 4.00) as they were causing problems for users when a number would be just out of range. For example if the value was 101 for range of 0 to 100. The users would rather see the value than #RANGE. So we added a new parameter:

[page]
RangeCheck=0

This parameter will default to 0, ie disable range checking on pages. If you set this parameter to 1 you will get the range errors again.
