P004018: No actuator at output

Cause

No actuator can be determined at the PLC output during target tracking. The reason for this can be an incorrect type of signal at the PLC output and/or at the actuator. The target tracking definition might also be missing at a terminal or plug switched to the actuator.

Solution

  1. Double-click the PLC output and select the Symbol / function data tab in the Properties <...> dialog.
  2. Click [Logic].
  3. Check the Type of signal property for the PLC output in the Connection point logic dialog. This property must match the function definition! If, for example, you entered a PLC connection point with the function definition "PLC connection point, DO" or "PLC connection point (fluid), DO", the Type of signal field must be set as a "Digital output"!
  4. Also check whether the Type of signal property on the actuator is set to "actuator".
  5. If a terminal or a plug is located between the actuator and the PLC output, also check the settings in the field Target tracking (PLC) to for this object. A "2" must be entered for the function connection point 1 and a "1" for function connection point 2.
  6. Refresh the connections and then start a new check run.
