Advanced Diagnostics
The importance of diagnostics in automation technology has increased, allowing faulty modules to be detected by user programs.
AS-i Bus Diagnostics:
This feature makes it easy to perform diagnostics on the AS-i bus. If the plant has several AS-i buses, you can view diagnostic information for each bus and each node. This feature makes troubleshooting and maintenance less time-consuming and complicated. Diagnostics can help identify problems such as ground faults, noise, and interference, as well as power faults and surges.
Industrial Ethernet (Profinet or Ethernet IP) Diagnostics:
You can use this tool to perform diagnostics on either Profinet or Ethernet IP, depending on the PLC platform you are using. All products have built-in diagnostic functions that can be used to detect and troubleshoot faults. The system components are designed to automatically report any faults during operation and provide detailed information about the problem. Plant-wide diagnostics can help minimize unplanned downtime and keep operations running smoothly.
