Summary
This violation occurs when a Port, Sheet Entry, or Net Label within a Signal Harness, has a name in the form [X..Y] indicating a bus object.
Notification
If compiler errors and warnings are enabled for display on the schematic (enabled on the Schematic - Compiler page of the Preferences dialog) an offending object will display a colored squiggle beneath it. A notification is also displayed in the Messages panel in the following format:
Bus <Object> <ObjectName> at <Location> placed on a harness
where:
- Object is the offending port, sheet entry, or net label.
- ObjectName is the name of the offending object.
- Location is the X,Y coordinates for the offending object.
Recommendation for Resolution
Use the Details region of the Messages panel to quickly cross probe to the offending object and modify the name so that it does not use bus syntax.
