    I have an issue where I have extended a function block from a library, but when I try to use it with the library defined interfaces I get the attached error.

    Error Text

    [ERROR]         PRS Alternator Test: gAlarmManager(Line 5): C0032:  Cannot convert type 'PceAlarms.IAlarmManager(pcealarms, 0.0.0.1 (powercore engineering))' to type 'IAlarmManager'

    Base FB Declaration in Library

    FUNCTION_BLOCK AlarmElement IMPLEMENTS IAlarmElement, PCI2.IBasicLogger
...

    Extended FB Declaration in Project

    FUNCTION_BLOCK PceAlarm EXTENDS PceAlarms.AlarmElement
...

    GVL in Project

    VAR_GLOBAL
    fbManager : PceAlarms.AlarmManager;
    Manager : PceAlarms.IAlarmManager := fbManager;
ae000 : PceAlarm(AlarmManager:=Manager, alarm:=gAlarm.xwNULL, ....

    How is the interface different when imported from a library vs being used inside the library? Am I doing something wrong? Should I organize the code a different way? Interfaces in their own library?
