4.17 Remote diagnosis "RCS Host-Embedded / RCS Viewer-
Embedded"
It is possible for a service engineer to monitor and influence a controller from a
remote PC (remote PC = viewer), i.e. the same display is shown on the remote PC
as on the operator panel front.
Remote diagnosis has the following services:
•
Direct access to the HMI-Embedded via network
•
Data exchange (file transfer)
The remote diagnosis software option is available from HMI-Embedded
Software 6.5.
The remote diagnosis software "RCS Host-Embedded" is a component of the HMI-
Embedded software and activated via machine data.
The remote diagnosis software "RCS Viewer-Embedded V1.00" for PC is stored on
the remote diagnosis CD "RCS Viewer-Embedded (08/2005 edition)", order
number: 6FC6000-6DC81-0BA0.
Precondition
The following hardware and software is required:
•
Establish a tunnel connection between NCU 7x0 (Ethernet interface X130)
(machine) and the remote PC (viewer), e.g. via hardware router with so-called
VPN (Virtual Private Network) functionality, e.g. Cisco 803
•
Windows PC (NT4/95/98) with network connection
•
"Viewer" application (mmcR.exe) from the remote diagnosis CD (remote PC)
•
Ethernet cable
•
Logic drive for data exchange (file transfer)
Connection structure
The example shows the connection via the ISDN network (64 kbit/s). This
telephone network provides the capability of connecting to remote LANs via a
tunnel using the point-to-point protocol (PPP). The NCU 7x0 is connected to the
ISDN network via the Ethernet interface with a hardware router (with VPN
functionality).
