System diagnostics S7-400 CPU Diagnostics

Visualization and diagnostics for S7-400 and S7-400H

S7-400 CPU Diagnostics generates detailed information about the current operating mode of the connected CPUs and presents it online on an operator station.

The challenge
Operators in a control room have access to all status information and parameters relevant to the process to be controlled. Availability and stability are as important as the ability to identify the controller status. Until now, additional engineering tools have been necessary for this purpose.

Our solution
We offer complete system diagnostics in the framework of our SIMATIC Add-ons. The status of the instrumentation and control equipment can now be displayed directly in the SIMATIC PCS 7/WinCC based control room. Your WinCC operator station can supply detailed information about the S7-400 CPUs as soon as the diagnostic environment has been configured.

Seven good reasons for S7-400 CPU Diagnostics:

No need for additional engineering tools Engineering in a few easy steps Simple change-tracking in the hardware configuration online at any time in WinCC Identification of the I&C status directly in the control room Central collection of diagnostics information supplied by the I&C Standardized presentation of information in a familiar way to users and system administrators Secured integrity of the runtime environment

This Add-on, consisting of SIMATIC and Windows components, can also be integrated into any PCS 7 or STEP 7 project at any time in the future. The visualization component is excellently suited for use in a PCS 7 OS or WinCC environment although S7-400 CPU Diagnostics integrates just as smoothly into other applications. No special engineering know-how is needed, providing you are already familiar with SIMATIC PCS 7 or STEP 7/ WinCC. Everything you need to know Your operator station provides you with all essential information about the S7-400 CPUs, including: The last 20 entries in a CPUs diagnostics buffer RAM data MLFB number and firmware revision level Slot, MPI adress and CPU/H-CPU name

Six steps to complete system diagnostics The diagnostics software for the S7-400 CPU is configured using the standard tools supplied with the SIMATIC PCS 7 or STEP 7/WinCC software. Six easy steps to reach your goal: STEP 7 - Insert the diagnostics block in the S7 program - Export the hardware configuration (cfg-file) - Transfer the block variables to WinCC (AS-/OS transfer) WinCC - Insert the diagnostic OCX in the WinCC picture - Connect the transferred block variables to the diagnostic OCX - Specify the path of the exported HW configuration (cfg-file) Languages supported German and English System requirements Operating systems The system diagnostics is released for the following operating systems: MS Windows 2000 Professional SP4 - MUI MS Windows XP Professional SP2 - MUI MS Windows 2003 Server SP1 - MUI PCS 7 Users 1. Operating system: same requirements as for PCS 7 2. Released for PCS 7 V6.1. STEP 7/WinCC Users 1. Operating system: same requirements as for WinCC/ STEP 7 2. MS Internet Explorer V6.0 + SP1 3. STEP 7 V5.3 + SP3, WinCC V6.0 + SP3 and Automation License Manager V2.0 Stand-alone 1. MS Internet Explorer V6.0 + SP1 2. STEP 7 V5.3. + SP3 and Automation License Manager V2.0 3. SIMATIC NET OPC Server V6.3 + HF1 MLFB number 2XV9450-1SD06

Once the diagnostic system has been configured, the engineering environment is no longer necessary. Licenses One license must be purchased for each operator station on which you want to use S7-400 CPU Diagnostics. It makes no difference whether this station is a singleuser station, a server, a UniClient, or a MultiClient. The great advantage: Regardless of the number of CPUs/ H-CPUs you intend to visualize on each operator station, you only need one license per station. Technical specifications Both the S7-400 CPU and the S7-400H CPU can be diagnosed (firmware revision level V3 or higher in each case).
