Description
The system automatically generates the messages for the
system diagnostics and outputs these messages via a
programming device/PC, HMI device, the web server or
the integrated display. System diagnostics information is
also available when the CPU is in STOP mode.
The web server lets you access the CPU data by means of
a network. Evaluations, diagnostics, and modifications
are thus possible over long distances. Monitoring and
evaluation is possible without STEP 7, only a web
browser is required. Note that you must take appropriate
measures to protect the CPU from compromise (such as
restricting network access, using firewalls).
Trace functionality supports you in troubleshooting
and/or optimizing the user program.
You record device tags and evaluate the recordings with
the trace and logic analyzer function. Tags are, for
example, drive parameters or system and user tags of a
CPU.
The device saves the recordings. You can read out and
permanently save the recordings with the configuration
system (ES), if required. The trace and logic analyzer
function is therefore suitable for monitoring highly
dynamic processes.
The trace record can also be displayed through the web
server.
With the project trace, you record the variables of mul­
tiple devices within a project, for example, a controller
and a drive.
With the long-term trace, you record up to 64 different
tags for each cycle in a .csv file over a long period (e.g.
hours, days).
