Why using SEL bloc with EcoStruxure Control Expert V15.0 (and lower) on BMEP586040 or BMEH586040 M580 PLCs lead to an exception (error code %SW124 = 0xEC10 on CPU) ?

How can we help you today?

Issue :
If "SEL" bloc is executed with an input parameter with a size of 2 or 4 bytes and using it on a BMEx586040x M580 PLC, the CPU will go in exception with error code %SW124=0xEC10 because of a alignment problem in the optimized code of the bloc function "SEL".
