Diagnostic data

Following a fault on a SIMOTION device, diagnostic data (e.g. diagnostic buffer content, up-
to-date content of HTML pages, etc.) can provide important information on the cause of the
fault. For this purpose, these data can be backed up to the CF card using a simple operation
(e.g. by setting a switch on the D410).
You then have the following options for the diagnostic data:
● Fetching them from the CF card using a card reader
