Diagnostics using the TIA Portal (STEP 7 Basic / Professional)
This section is intended only for S7 users.
Requirements
STEP 7 Basic / Professional is installed and started, and a project is open. The
communication module is connected to the controller or PC via Industrial Ethernet or
PROFIBUS and has been powered up.
Definition
If error states occur, e.g. termination of a connection, they are indicated in the online device
view by a red tool symbol in front of the relevant module. Note that error states of the reader
are only displayed if you have activated the diagnostic interrupt messages of the relevant
reader.
To obtain more information on the error that has occurred, you can read out the diagnostic
information of the respective module (communication module or reader).
