Configuring The User Diagnostics; Overview - Siemens Simatic PCS7 Function Manual

Note
Maintenance demanded and maintenance required
Note that only the external maintenance statuses "Maintenance demanded" (corresponds to
significance 6) and "Maintenance required" (corresponds to significance 5) are taken into
account in the diagnostics block.
These maintenance statuses trigger the messages "Maintenance demanded (external)" and
"Maintenance required (external)" in the process control.
Note
Multiple channel blocks for HART modules
When HART modules and secondary variables are used, you use multiple channel blocks for
the same channel of the module.
The above-mentioned procedure must be performed for each channel block.
Result
After AS and OS compilation and subsequent download, the maintenance information is
displayed in the process control.
Additional information
You can find additional information on displaying maintenance information in the section
""External diagnostics" view (Page 175)".

Overview

Introduction
Passive or indirect components without self-diagnostics (for example, pumps, motors, control
loops) can be monitored with the help of the user diagnostics. A "user" area is created within
the diagnostic structure for this purpose.
You can perform the following tasks in the "user" area:
● Creating individual diagnostic structures
● Creating project-specific diagnostics rules
● Configuring condition monitoring functions
