Monitoring of high and low temperature limits and
cable break of the temperature sensors
For this, temperature sensors record the temperature
at critical points of the device, e.g. at the processor.
The temperature thresholds are defined for the
individual temperature sensors.
With SIMATIC IPC DiagBase or SIMATIC IPC
DiagMonitor, actions are triggered when the
temperature thresholds are exceeded.
Monitoring of underspeed and failure of a fan as well
as cable break of the tachometer cable
Front panel
Processor
Optional graphics card
Power supply (not redundant)
Drive cage type A
Monitoring of the system status and message as to
whether a station is still operational.
If the watchdog is not operated within a configured
monitoring time, a watchdog alarm is output.
A change to the monitoring time is effective
immediately.
Monitoring of the charge status of the buffer battery
(CMOS)
When the first warning threshold is reached, the
backup battery will run for at least 1 more month.
Determination of the status of the drives (HDD and
SSD) with SMART functionality (SMART: Self-
Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) also
in RAID systems (RAID state)
The status of an inactive hot swap drive is not
displayed.
