30  Basics of Diagnosis Menus

Fig. 30-1 

Diagnosis menu

The >Diagnosis< menu can be found in menu >Application< and is divided into four sub-

menus.
The Diagnosis menu and all submenus are pure read-only and simulation menus.
In this section the following settings can be verified or simulated:

•  h-Sensors (level and adjustment height)
•  v-Sensors (article no., firmware version, serial no. and velocity)
•  Inputs and outputs (status and simulation)
•  Simulation

Important Note

Always follow the safety information on simulation on page 117.
