Cannot find serial drivers (with solution)

Hello.

For reference if someone faces the same error in the future (or if Citect dev team have time to improve citect to handle this in a better way)

After adding a new MODNET device manually to a running system, When starting the runtime I got "Error / Cannot find serial drivers / OK" message followed by "Error / Driver MODNET not initialized / Do you want to shutdown now? / Yes/No".

The MODNET is an ethernet driver and I had no serial driver, so the message about serial drivers was strange.

The problem was the IOServer name on the boards and ports had a misspelling. That wasn't a problem before as all the other devices were OFSOPC devices, and have a port and a board with the same misspelling and work well.

Do add the new device I copy one existing port, so I copy the misspelling. And it took me some to figure out, as I made a copy of something working well.

If you use New Device Wizard this will never happen, but for others it may happen.

To development team: the compiler could check if the IOServer name in boards and ports exists on IOServers and give proper error/warning messege.

Regards
