Symptom

Investigation Steps

Possible Solutions

Referenced point not found

Is the point underlined?

If the point is not underlined in the PPCL, the point is either misspelled, is a BACnet point, or does not exist.

Unresolved lines in the PPCL program

Is the PPCL Editor up-to-date?

Press the Refresh button to update the PPCL Editor.

Are there any spelling errors?

If you have more than one point referenced on a line, make sure all local points are correctly spelled. Dragging-and-dropping can reduce spelling errors.

Is it a BACnet point? If so, is the name qualified enough to be uniquely located?

BACnet points must be unambiguously specified.

Is the display between PPCL and panel consistent?

Telnet to panel with PPCL and verify that the panel and Desigo CC are online, READY, and the display between the two is consistent.

Is there a problem with the point in System Browser?

Check the System Browser to see if unresolved points display without errors in the Contextual pane.

Is there a problem with the point in the panel?

Telnet to the panel and check the status of the unresolved point.
