2.5.2 Functions of a service session

Description of functions
The following functions are available during a link with the machine control. These
functions enable diagnostics and fault rectification via the machine control. It is
usually up to the service technician to execute the function. The technician can
work on all problems via remote access on a PC with a mouse and keyboard.
Several service employees and specialists can work together in a service session
to solve a problem. The service technician who establishes the service session first
keeps control of all functions throughout the service session. All other service
technicians can only observe what is going on. If necessary, the first service
technician can pass on and take back control to or from another service technician
within a desktop control session.
The entire session can also be passed on to a second service employee.

Property
You can exchange text messages with the
machine operator online via a chat window. The
"Chat" function can be started without the need to
obtain the machine operator's agreement.
The "Desktop view" function is used to observe all
operating steps at the operator interface of the
machine HMI. That enables you to detect
remotely on the service PC which functions are
triggered on the control. You can provide the
machine operator with instructions using the
annotation function.
You can use the "Desktop control" function to
execute all operating functions of the machine
control via remote access. For safety reasons,
however, it is not possible to initiate machine
movements or to start NC programs.
You can use the "Transfer file" function to transfer
data between the machine control and your
service PC. Data transfer is possible in both
directions.
Which functions and views of drives are used
within data transfer depends on the type of
session set.
You can use the "Assist online support" function
to invite other specialists to join the teleservice
session. The person you invite to join a
teleservice session that is currently underway has
the option of either providing active support or
simply participating in the teleservice as an
observer.
