HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 Service Manual page 135

The PROFIBUS diagnosis described is mainly suitable for static failures.
Log files
An analysis of sporadic failures is thus difficult.
Experience has shown, however, that sporadic failures account for the mayority of PROFIBUS
errors.
For the analysis of sporadic failures special PROFIBUS log files are suitable which record
important events during start-up and run time.
All these files are saved in the path PLC:\PROFIBUS.
For analysis of a PROFIBUS error this file is read out from the control by the TNCremoNT and
are sent to your machine manufacturer or to a HEIDENHAIN service agency.
