PLC no communication - Troubleshooting

Updated yesterday

If the PLC is not connected to the Matics network, the machine on the web/app will display a status of “no communication.”

How it works:

  • If the PLC loses connection to the Matics router for more than 5 minutes, the machine status will change to “no communication."

for example:

Troubleshooting Workflow

1. Check PLC Power Supply

  • Ensure the PLC is connected to power and that the display screen is on.

  • The PLC power supply is 24V DC.

  • Verify the voltage is stable and there are no loose connections.


2. Check Wi-Fi Availability

  • Use your phone near the PLC to check if the network EM-PLC is available.

  • Verify LED lights are on in the ETH connection - both green\orange are on

  • Ensure the signal is strong, not weak or poor.

  • If the Matics Wi-Fi is unavailable for the PLC:

    • Inspect nearby Matics access points.

    • Ensure strong Wi-Fi coverage is provided to the PLC.


3. Check PLC Network Settings

  • Use your phone next to the PLC and search for a network similar to

    “HF-A21x_Ap” or "HF-A11x_AP"

  • If you find this network, it indicates the PLC may have lost its network configuration.

  • In this case, contact Matics Support for assistance with reconfiguring the PLC network settings.
