Cause
No actuator can be determined at the PLC output during target tracking.
Possibility 1
No function is connected as an actuator at the PLC connection point. This is also the case if, for example, you have created a PLC output in the device navigator but have not placed it yet.
Possibility 2
The Type of signal at the PLC output and / or actuator is set incorrectly for a connected actuator. The target tracking definition might also be missing at a terminal or pin switched to the actuator.
Solution
Regarding option 1
- Check whether a function is connected at the PLC output.
- If not, insert a function and connect it to the PLC output. Or place the PLC output in the schematic and connect it with a function.
- Update the connections.
- If required, start a new check run.
Regarding option 2
- If an actuator is connected with the PLC output, first double-click the PLC output.
- In the Properties <...> dialog, select the Symbol / function data tab.
- Click [Logic].
- 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"!
- Also check whether the Type of signal property on the actuator is set to "actuator".
- If a terminal or a pin is located between the actuator and the PLC output, also check the Target tracking settings in the Target tracking (PLC) to field for this object.
- Update the connections.
- If required, start a new check run.
