Diagnostics transfer
In this group, you specify the parameters for transfer of diagnostics data.
Note
Transfer of images or data records
If you have set "Stack" as the buffer type under "Settings > Options > Diagnostics &
monitoring > Report", images and data records are only transferred until the stack is full.

Select the check box to enable transfer monitoring. If the
check box is not selected, transfer is not monitored.
When transfer monitoring is enabled, SIMATIC MV500
checks the complete transfer of all occurring diagnostic
images and data records to make sure there are no
omissions. If the data cannot be transferred to the con-
nected server in the available time, SIMATIC MV500
changes to Stop with a transmit error. In this mode, you
should therefore make sure that the Ethernet connection
has adequate bandwidth and SIMATIC MV500 has
enough time in reserve to send the data to the server.
