12.4.2 Diagnostics data and alarms
Diagnostics data contains important information about the status of
SIMOCODE pro. This simplifies troubleshooting.
In contrast to cyclic data, the diagnostics data is only transmitted to the
master module if it changes.
PROFIBUS DP differentiates between:
• Standard diagnostics
• Status information
• Channel-related diagnostics
• Process and diagnostic alarms according to DPV1.
Configure diagnostic response
In SIMOCODE pro, you can set which diagnostic events trigger the
transmission of diagnostics data or the alarms to the PLC:
• Diagnostics for device faults, e.g. parameterization errors, hardware faults
• Diagnostics for process faults:
For events which are marked with "F" in the "DP Diagnostics" column in
Table B-9: Data record 92 - Diagnostics
diagnostics data or alarms are transferred to the PLC.
• Diagnostics for process warnings:
For events which are marked with "W" in the "DP Diagnostics" column in
Table B-9: Data record 92 - Diagnostics
diagnostics data or alarms are transferred to the PLC.
• Diagnostics for process events:
For events which are marked with "E" in the "DP Diagnostics" column in
Table B-9: Data record 92 - Diagnostics
diagnostics data or alarms are transferred to the PLC.
