Monitoring for temperature high and low limits as well
as cable breaks of the temperature sensors
Temperature sensors record the temperature at
critical device points, e.g. at the processor.
The temperature thresholds are defined for the indi-
vidual temperature sensors.
With SIMATIC IPC DiagBase or SIMATIC IPC Diag-
Monitor, actions are triggered when the temperature
thresholds are exceeded.
Monitoring for underspeed and fan failure as well as
cable breaks of the speedometer cable
Monitoring of the system status and message to
determine if a station is still operational
If the watchdog is not addressed within a configured
monitoring time, a watchdog alarm is output.
A change to the monitoring time is effective immedi-
ately.
Monitoring the charge status of the backup battery
(CMOS)
When the first warning threshold is reached, the
backup battery will run for at least one more month.
Determination of the status of the drives (HDD and
SSD) with SMART functionality, also in RAID sys-
