Message

Description / Remedy

“No matching device in catalog”

The device or combination of device and firmware is not supported.

“To configure another head station, the existing head station must first be removed.”

The message is displayed if a device has already been added to the project. In this case, no further devices can be added, as you only configure one device at a time. To continue, first remove the existing device.

“Untrusted SSL certificate”

The device used does not have a trusted certificate. You can also recognize this by the lock icon next to the device: .
You have the option of either adding a trusted certificate or an exception for the existing certificate. (see 8 Handling Certificates).

Login dialog opens automatically or

Message “Login required”

If you use other access data than the default data (user name “admin,” password “wago”) for your device, a login dialog opens automatically when adding the device to the project. Log in.
If you do not log in, you can only perform offline actions. In the “Settings” view, you can only change values in the project.

If the login dialog does not open automatically, but the message “Login required” is displayed, your device could not be identified automatically. In this case, click the displayed [Login required] button and enter the device access data.

This can happen, for example, if “ScanDevices” has been removed from the automatically accepted device access in the settings (“Settings” > “WAGO-DeviceAccess” > “Allowed Unauthenticated Requests” view, “ScanDevices” entry).

“Device not accessible in network”

A network error has occurred, e.g., due to a timeout of the connection during network scanning, or the device cannot be reached on the network. Check the connectivity of your device and try again to access the device on the network.

“Unknown device”

The device is not supported. It may not be a WAGO device.
