Corrective maintenance
Report, locate, and eliminate faults quickly
Diagnostics
SIMATIC system and process diagnostics
Giving you simple, reliable fault recognition and reporting. Information is made available to
operating and maintenance personnel exactly where it is needed – on machine-level HMI devices
and with WinCC. Monitoring the status and operation of your plant or machine with SIMATIC STEP7,
S7 PDIAG and ProAgent gives plant/machine personnel optimal troubleshooting and debugging support
by automatically notifying them of the location and cause of a problem, thus:
 |
increasing plant availability
|
|
shortening downtimes.

System diagnostics with PROFIBUS DP and SIMATIC
Our PROFIBUS DP diagnostic products and functions meet the growing demand for maintenance brought about
by increasingly decentralized automation concepts.
Diagnostic repeater
In addition to traditional repeater functionality, the Siemens diagnostic repeater provides functions
for localizing faults in bus cables, such as open circuits, short circuits, Shortages to the shielding
as well as missing terminating resistors.
SIMATIC system diagnostics
PROFIBUS diagnostics are an integral component of the STEP 7 HW-Config diagnostic functions, the CPU
diagnostic buffers and the STEP 7 "Report system fault" function.
PROFIBUS diagnostic package
The PROFIBUS diagnostic package consists of a function/data block as well as diagnostic displays
for the more popular SIMATIC HMI devices.

MOTION SCOUT/TRACE
Simotion makes it possible to implement monitoring functions – such as maximum
permissible drive current. The machine or plant operator is notified when the relevant
value is exceeded. The SIMOTION SCOUT engineering software supports service and maintenance
diagnostics, for example with a more advanced setpoint/actual movement analysis.

ServiceLab software for SIMATIC
ServiceLab is a software package for installation on SIMATIC programming devices and other PCs.
With ServiceLab, you can easily access all the data in the SIMATIC S5 / S7 controller's process
image for subsequent analysis, visualization and archiving.
ServiceLab is a valuable maintenance tool which makes it possible e.g. to test functional sequences,
output test charts even for long-term tests, monitor limit values and so on, thus providing invaluable
support even when attempting to locate sporadic problems.
Remote Control Systems (RCS)
RCS@Event as well as RCS Host and RCS Viewer are modules of the Motion Control Information
System (MCIS) product family. With the e-mail reporting software RCS@Event for machines
with SIMOTION ® and SINUMERIK ® controllers, service or maintenance personnel can respond
to alarms and messages around the clock on a global basis. Immediate and direct notification
of the responsible personnel automatically by e-mail or SMS reduces response times and
therefore downtimes. In the event of a fault, the RCS Host or RCS Viewer software can be
used to request and carry out remote diagnostics by e-mail for online fault elimination
or damage limitation. If service intervention becomes necessary, it can be planned more
selectively.
Remote diagnostics for SINUMERIK
The "remote diagnostics" software for SINUMERIK
|
reduces machine downtimes thanks to high-speed diagnostics and targeted preparations for maintenance
|
|
optimize commissioning times by using a centralized support system
|
|
increase profitability by minimizing service and travel costs
|
|
benefit from the transfer of know-how from service provider to operating personnel
|
|
rationalize use of your own service personnel.
|
Remote diagnostics are possible over Ethernet networks as well as over the telephone network.
For example, you can perform remote diagnostics over a local area (LAN) or wide area (WAN) network. You can also use the Internet.

SIMATIC TeleService für S7 / C7
SIMATIC TeleService makes it possible to service stand-alone controllers or controllers interfaced
to MPI or PROFIBUS from a remote central control center.
The connection to the automation system can be established via:
|
analog telephone network / ISDN or
|
|
mobile radio network
|
All SIMATIC S7 programming tools, as well as SIMATIC ProTool/Pro or WinCC, may e used.
The Routing function enables online access to local PROFIBUS-DP and Industrial Ethernet nodes.
The system to be serviced requires neither a programming device nor programming tools.
