Advanced Diagnostics Connection via Diagnostic Bus
This type of diagnosis connection with a PROFIBUS installation is main-
ly used to forward diagnostic information to an OPC system. Communi-
cation of the Diagnostic Managers (DTM) with the Diagnostic Module
takes place via a further software module, the FieldConnex
R
Diagnostic
Server (FDS), and a further hardware component, the COM-Port con-
verter. In contrast to direct connection via PROFIBUS DP, the FDS here
serves as an interface and a data access coordinator for the Diagnostic
Module as well as an OPC-DA server, the converter provides the con-
nection to the RS 485 diagnostic bus of the motherboards.
The Diagnostic Modules which are part of a DTM project are not firmly
allocated to one Gateway. Rather, all HD2-DM-A modules connected to
the FDS appear at the FDS node. Alarms and warnings of all Diagnostic
Modules are analyzed centrally in one single window, the so-called Sy-
stem Diagnostic Window.
You can find further information regarding the FDS and the setup, con-
figuration and commissioning of the Diagnostic Module in the manual
"Advanced Diagnostic Module HD2-DM-A“.
DTM
A DTM is a device configuration and mana-
gement software. It contains a graphic user
interface and configures and diagnoses de-
vices. DTMs are embedded in an FDT frame
application, such as PACT
ware
TM
or in a DCS
with an FDT interface. The DTM for the Ad-
vanced Diagnostic Module is called Diagno-
stic Manager.
