Storing the diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data

You can find diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data on the CF card in the \USER
\SIMOTION\HMI\SYSLOG\DIAG directory.
Copy these data and transfer them to Technical Support when requested to do so. A standard
card reader can be used to transfer the diagnostic data from the CF card via standard
SIMOTION IT web server pages or via FTP.
The following data are stored:
Table 9-5
File
DIAGBUF.TXT
PMEMORY.XML
TOALARMS.TXT
HTML page
Other files
Note
Use HTML pages if you wish to back up diagnostic data in plain-text format. HTML pages
enable user-friendly diagnostics. In addition to the standard SIMOTION IT web server pages,
you have the option of creating your own HTML pages (e.g. for the axis status or for machine
diagnostics). Customized diagnostics pages are particularly suitable for application problems,
as you can define the contents yourself.
