Creating Diagnostic Data
When you compile a sequencer, you can decide whether diagnostic data should
also be created in addition to the FB/DB providing "message with
ALARM_SQ/ALARM_S" is selected. The diagnostic data contains the structure
data of a sequencer and can be linked into a corresponding OP project using
ProAgent.
This makes the following functions possible on the operator panel:
•
Display of the current state of the sequencer with current sequencer names and
step names
•
Display of a disturbed step (step number and name)
•
Display of the cause of a disturbance, in other words:
-
With supervision errors: display of the missing step enabling condition
-
With interlock errors: display of the missing interlock condition.
If you have modified addresses in the SIMATIC manager using the menu
command Rewire, and the addresses are also used by the sequencer, the
corresponding diagnostic data are only updated when you open the corresponding
S7-Graph FB again and save it.
Creating Messages
To display disturbances on, for example, an operator panel, you must click the
option "Message with ALARM_SQ/ALARM_S (SFC17/SFC18) in the "Messages"
tab page that you can display with the menu command Options > Block Settings.
If this option is selected, a message is entered in the message memory of the CPU
by the selected SFC and automatically transferred to the operator panels. The
message frame contains not only the automatically assigned message number but
also the current step number so that the operator panel can display the
corresponding texts and depending on the display, the corresponding conditions.
Apart from the message, a group error bit is also set that is displayed on the
operator panel depending on the display.
The following displays are available on the operator panel for the sequencer:
•
Overview
level
All units are displayed with their current step. Each sequencer block represents
such a unit. If a sequencer has a disturbance, this line is marked by . If this
line is selected, you can change directly to the detailed display level with a
function key.
•
Message display level
The current message with the date and time is displayed. You can change
