Hi josef, If you want to know what the condition of the hardware is, you can enable diagnostic screens based on your picture hierarchy which means you are going to use a maintenance station. This format comes in three versions: Maintenance Station Standard: Full functionality Maintenance Station Basic: Restricted functionality Maintenance Station PDM: Full use and modifying PDM related devices. The basic version is free and gives you an overview of the hardware. You cannot zoom in and get detailed information like the Standard version, which is not free. PDM version allows you to open PDM manager from WinCC and configure devices. To work with one of three versions, I give you a few steps below: 1. Open the plant view in the SIMATIC Manager. 2. Select the object in the tree view: – If you are using a multiproject, select the object "[name of the project] MP". – If you are using a single project, select the object "[name of the project]". 3. Select the menu command Options > Plant Hierarchy > Settings... . 4. If you have selected a multiproject, the "Plant Hierarchy - Settings" dialog box opens. Select the project whose settings you wish to use as a template for the plant hierarchy. – Click "OK". The "Plant Hierarchy Settings" dialog box opens. – Proceed to step 6. 5. If you have selected an individual project or a project within a multiproject, the "Plant Hierarchy - Settings" dialog box opens. 6. Activate the "Derive picture hierarchy from the plant hierarchy" check box. 7. Enable the "Derive diagnostic screens from the plant hierarchy" check box. 8. You can now select a version, please use "Basic" if you don't have a license. 9. Select an OS to be used as maintenance station. What you will get is a "Diagnostic" area with a second level which features the following: -AS objects -Network objects -PC stations The "Standard" version can zoom up to 8 levels, where the Basic version has only two levels. |
If I could help you, you can use the RATE button. Thank you. |
