Monitoring & Diagnostics
7.1.
General
The fieldbus module offers a number of diagnostics interfaces which are described in the
following:
•
Device diagnostics using the web interface
•
Network diagnostics via SNMP
•
Fieldbus-specific diagnostics using the PLC
The web interface and the fieldbus-specific diagnostics interface are each described in a
separate section.
The monitoring and diagnostics interfaces on the device are accessed via the IP-based
management interface over the Ethernet network. Alternately to the procedure for setting IP
access described in the "Integration" section, other dedicated configuration tools can also be
used together with the DCP protocol of PROFINET. The following parameters must then be
set:
•
IP address (IP)
•
Subnet mask (SN)
•
Gateway address (GW)
•
Device name
The configuration settings can be reset to their factory defaults through the web interface.
Configuration settings are only possible if the module has no active connection with a
controller unit.
7.2.
SNMP MIBs
Monitoring and diagnostics of the device network settings can be done over the network using
the SNMPv1 protocol. This can be accessed simply from a so-called SNMP browser or
common network management applications.
The following MIBs are supported:
•
MIB-2 (RFC 1213)
•
LLDP-MIB (IEEE 802.1AB)
Information about the fieldbus module is provided in the module-specific information of the
MIB-2:
MIB variable
Description
sysDescr
A textual description of the entity. This value should include the full
name and version identification of the system's hardware type, software
operating-system, and networking software.
sysObjectID
{1.3.6.1.4.1.44233.1.2.1}
For Balluff products with Product Enterprise Number (PEN) = 44233,
the product list is defined in
BALLUFF-PRODUCTS-MIB
sysUpTime
The time (in hundredths of a second) since the network management
portion of the system was last re-initialized.
sysContact
The textual identification of the contact person for this managed node,
together with information on how to contact this person. (“BALLUFF”)
sysName
An administratively-assigned name for this managed node. By
convention, this is the node's fully-qualified domain name.
(“BNI PNT ….”)
sysLocation
The physical location of this node (e.g. “73765 Neuhausen a.d.F,
Germany”)
