Problem is fixed in version: R8.1c PAC Control

Symptoms:

From within a script block, OptoScript incorrectly allows certain commands to be used with I/O points that reside on I/O units that do not support the commands. The OptoScript code compiles and downloads properly to the control engine, but fails to return a value when the strategy is run. Instead, an OptoScript compiler error message should report the command is not available on the specified I/O point.
