Note
Use websites if you wish to back up diagnostic data in plain-text format. Websites enable
user-friendly diagnostics. In addition to the standard IT DIAG diagnostics sites, you have the
option of creating your own websites (e.g. for the axis status or for machine diagnostics).
Customized diagnostics sites are particularly suitable for application problems, as you can
define the contents yourself.
6.2.3
Diagnostics via websites
In the "DIAGURLS.TXT" text file, found in the ...\USER\SIMOTION\HMI\SYSLOG\DIAG
directory, you can specify HTML files whose status is to be stored on the
CompactFlash Card when diagnostic data are created during operation. (For example,
"devinfo.mcs" must be entered for the "devinfo.htm" website.)
Since the sites in question are stored together with their most up-to-date contents, this
enables the latest status information regarding the SIMOTION device, as well as the
machine/system, from the point at which diagnostic data were created (e.g. when the service
selector switch was activated) to be archived.
In addition to the standard IT DIAG diagnostics sites, it is possible to store customized sites.
Information on creating sites of this type can be found in, for example, Utilities &
Applications.
