8.2.3 Diagnostics via websites
In the "DIAGURLS.TXT" text file, found in the ...\USER\SIMOTION\HMI\SYSLOG\DIAG
directory, you can specify HTML files whose current contents are to be stored on the
CompactFlash card when diagnostic data is created during operation. (For example,
"devinfo.mcs" must be entered for the "devinfo.htm" HTML page.)
Since the pages in question are stored together with their most up-to-date contents, this
enables the latest status information regarding the SIMOTION device, as well as the
machine/system, from the point at which diagnostics data was created (e.g. when the
Service selector switch was activated) to be archived.
In addition to the standard IT DIAG diagnostics pages, it is possible to store customized
pages. Information on creating pages of this type can be found,for°example, in an FAQ of
the Utilities & Applications.

The following points must be noted for the DIAGURLS.TXT file:
● A DIAGURLS.TXT file containing the standard IT DIAG pages is automatically created if
you have not stored your own DIAGURLS.TXT file.
● Standard IT DIAG pages are entered "without" a path specification (e.g. "devinfo.mcs" for
the standard IT DIAG page "devinfo.htm").
● Customized IT DIAG pages (such as "user.htm") in the \USER\SIMOTION\HMI\FILES
directory on the CompactFlash card must contain the FILES/ path specification.
● If you have created subfolders (e.g. "myfolder" in the FILES directory), these must also
appear in the path.
● Only one file name may be used per line.
