This message indicates that the Codesys gateway cannot connect with the Weintek’s built-in Codesys. In order to connect with Codesys your PC must be connected to LAN 1 on the HMI or LAN 2 while “Codesys login” is enabled. When you have time, please review the instructions below and advise if you are able to connect with Codesys using this method.
