Reading out diagnostics from FF devices
Overview
The diagnostic data of the FF devices can only be read out with
SIMATIC PDM displays the status of FF devices which generate their diagnostics data in
accordance with the FOUNDATION Fieldbus guideline (refer to chapter Standards and
Approvals (Page 77)).
The diagnostic information alongside the status byte (quality code) made available by the FF
device (e.g. device state) is implemented accordingly and the system is made available.
This makes it possible to access FF devices object-specifically. A direct path is created to the
asset management here, i.e. FF devices are available in the maintenance station as individual
objects for cyclic diagnostics through automatic linking. Non-cyclic diagnostics is also possible
by means of
