Access system diagnostic data remotely via a web browser

Since all service functions necessary for a machine or systems are already integrated in the System Diagnostics Manager, it can be launched from any PC without any installation. The only requirement is a conventional Web browser. The appearance of the System Diagnostics Manager can also be customised to match the look and feel of the machine or systems manufacturer using it.

In addition to being able to quickly access current drive values - for example, speed, position, enable status or the status of onboard inputs - the axis error list also provides information in tabular form about errors that are still outstanding as well as those that have already been acknowledged. SDM can also be used to easily access and operate oscilloscopes that are integrated in drives.

Being able to check the current status of I/O channels on every bit of hardware with an integrated I/O viewer means that machine and system commissioning is easier than ever. The time-consuming process of testing I/O points using electrical wiring is now a thing of the past.

During servicing, all data in the System Diagnostics Manager can be loaded from the controller and saved to a file with a simple click of the mouse. This makes it possible for difficult service cases to be analysed offline by a second-level support team. For machine manufacturers, this opens up a totally new dimension for fulfilling maintenance and service claims.
