Diagnostics using the WBM

A wide variety of diagnostics options are available via the WBM. These are described below.
In the "Log" menu, you can find all the diagnostics messages of the communication module
that have occurred. The "Service log" helps SIEMENS specialists to analyze errors. You can
read out the syslog messages from the "Syslog log" and you can read out the "Status
parameters" of the connected readers and transponders using the "Hardware diagnostics".
You will find further information on the "Log" in the section "The "Diagnostics - Log" menu

module is connected to the controller or PC via Industrial Ethernet or PROFINET 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
communications module/the connected readers are only displayed if you have activated the

To obtain more information on the error that has occurred, you can read out the diagnostic
