Problem

I/O Variables mapped from an I/O device do not change value.

values are greyed


Since SP17, some clearer hints are given:

  • the value is shown as "not updated"
  • a tooltip explains why

Solution

By default, a variable is shown with the actual value only if the variable is used in a task.

Your options are either:


The "Always update variables" setting is on the "<Name> I/O Mapping" tab for most devices.

For the PLC Controller devices, it is on the "PLC Settings" tab.
