Diagnostics for process faults
All SIMOCODE pro monitoring functions with "trip" configured as their response are
transmitted with the "fault" diagnostics status.
Diagnostics for device faults
Diagnostics events that can occur in connection with defective hardware or incorrect
parameterization are also transmitted with the "fault" diagnostics status.
The response of the different monitoring functions can be configured individually. Depending
on the function, the following can be selected by configuration:
●
Deactivated: There is no response. No diagnostics are produced.
●
Signaling: The diagnostics event is entered in data record 92 and is displayed in the
"Faults/Warnings/Events" online dialog box of SIMOCODE ES. No diagnostics alarm is
triggered.
●
Warning: A diagnostics alarm is generated with the "maintenance demand" diagnostics
status.
●
Tripping: A diagnostics alarm is generated with the "fault" diagnostics status.
