Is there a limitation to the number of tags/the amount of data that can be brought into EasyBuilder in a single “Import Tags”?

I am using the Siemens S7-300/ET200S (Ethernet) driver and when I try to import my .dif file, one of my DB’s has an error. This DB is an array of 3599 integers, which is why I’m curious if there is a limit to the number of tag that can be brought in with a singe import or if there is a limit to the length of arrays that are being imported.

Hi @kfischer,

In some cases the developers will add notes to the PLC connection guide in which they list limitations or other recommended settings. However, I do not see any limitations related to arrays for this driver. Can you please PM me a screenshot of the DB that fails to import as well as a screenshot of the error message you receive?

Sure. How do I PM you?

I’ve sent you a PM that you can respond to. Thank you!

Note: The issue was resolved by removing text within the the user comment fields next to the variables in the .db prior to export.
