Monitoring and diagnostics for industrial PCs

SIMATIC PCs are the robust industrial PCs for professional automation solutions in round-the-clock operation. In production automation they are used at the field and process control levels because of their high system availability.

Industrial PCs. Can be centrally monitored

The monitoring and message software SIMATIC PC/PG DiagMonitor detects possible hardware and software problems early on and sends the appropriate messages to the Maintenance Station. In a group of multiple SIMATIC PCs, client-server network architectures can be established via LAN and all SIMATIC PCs in a plant centrally monitored with the DiagMonitor.

Service. Efficient and flexible service structures

Efficient service structures can be established through the inclusion of automated communication paths, e.g. over Ethernet, e-mail or text message (telephone). With the DiagMonitor, the operating data of the PCs to be monitored are supplemented with text messages, transferred over the SNMP OPC server to the SIMATIC Maintenance Station and output in easily readable form in different views.

Monitored and reported. All important details

Exceeding / falling short of the permissible operating temperature by measuring at different measuring points in the device, e.g. processor and motherboard
Fan speed / failure (including cable break)

Hard disk status / problems

Program interruption (Watchdog)

Maintenance intervals (freely selectable) thanks to flexible programmable operating hours counter

The user can thus carry out a preventive hard disk change at a suitable moment and avoid data loss.

A fast suitable response. Decisive help thanks to the DiagMonitor

In the event of an alarm, the DiagMonitor also starts programs such as special PC tools or user-specific applications for an individual response to alarm messages.
