9.2 Diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data
9.2.1
Overview
On the basis of simple operations (e.g. by setting the switch position) and without the need for
the SIMOTION SCOUT engineering system, you can
● Back up diagnostic data, including non-volatile SIMOTION data (retain data) on a CF card:
– Save diagnostic data during running operation (Page 305)
– Save diagnostic data during the startup (Page 306)
● Back up HTML pages (including the most up-to-date content) to the CF card for diagnostic
purposes; for information, see Section Diagnostics via HTML pages (Page 309).
● Restore backed-up non-volatile SIMOTION data (retain data); for information, see Section
Delete/restore non-volatile SIMOTION data (Page 310).
9.2.2 Backup of diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data
9.2.2.1 Diagnostics data
Following a fault on a SIMOTION device, diagnostic data (e.g. diagnostic buffer content, up-
to-date content of HTML pages, etc.) can provide important information on the cause of the
fault. For this purpose, data can be backed up to the CF card with a "simple operator action"
(e.g. via service selector switch or DIAG button on the SIMOTION D410-2).
You then have the following options for the diagnostic data:
● Fetching them from the CF card using a card reader
● You can load it with the SIMOTION IT web server or by FTP
You can also use them for diagnostic purposes or provide Technical Support with them for
evaluation purposes.
Various options are available to you for backing up diagnostic data:
● Backup during operation (in STOP/STOPU/RUN operating state)
– with SIMOTION IT web server;
The web server also offers the possibility of fetching the diagnostic data online.
– Via the DIAG button
– Via the service selector switch
● Backup during the module startup
– Via the DIAG button
– Via the service selector switch
– Controlling diagnostic data creation using an INI file stored on the CF card
