Check for configuration inconsistencies

In TwinCAT System Manager configuration files (*.wsm or *.tsm), which have been created with a TwinCAT Version before <2.9, cannot provide unique node names. This means that a given node name is allocated twice in the same sub branch. Configurations created with Version 2.9 no longer contain this ambiguity.

To ensure perfect functioning of the TwinCAT Simulation Manager, the inconsistencies must be eliminated. To this end, a testing mechanism is provided, which examines the system manager configuration when a new simulation manager project is created and if appropriate issues a corresponding error message.

This test is complex and takes a certain amount of time, it can therefore be switched off. However this should only be done if it has already been ensured that there are no more inconsistencies in the configurations used.

For newer TwinCAT System Manager configurations, this check can be checked off.
