Storing data

Storing diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data
You can find diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data on the CF card in the \USER
\SIMOTION\HMI\SYSLOG\DIAG directory.
Copy these data and transfer them to Technical Support when requested to do so. A standard
card reader can be used to transfer the diagnostic data from the CF card via standard
SIMOTION IT web server pages or via FTP.
The following data are stored:
Table 9-12
File
DIAGBUF.TXT
PMEMORY.XML
TOALARMS.TXT
HTML page
Other files
Note
Use HTML pages if you wish to back up diagnostic data in plain-text format. HTML pages
enable user-friendly diagnostics. In addition to the standard SIMOTION IT web server pages,
you have the option of creating your own HTML pages (e.g. for the axis status or for machine
diagnostics). Customized diagnostics pages are particularly suitable for application problems,
as you can define the contents yourself.

Text file containing the pending TO alarms. Only TO IDs, alarm numbers, and
associated HEX values.
Note:
The TO alarms are only created if diagnostic data have been created during
operation (STOP / STOPU / RUN).
If the diagnostic data are backed up, the URLs are requested from the text
file (DIAGURLS.TXT) and stored as HTML pages together with their contents.
(See Section Diagnostics via websites (Page 403).)
Note: The HTML pages are only stored if diagnostic data are created during
operation (STOP/STOPU/RUN).
All other files stored in the directory are only of relevance to Technical Support.
