Definitions
- the invention relates to a software tool for monitoring an automation device for faults according to the measures specified in claim 1.
- the invention relates to a diagnostic system with such a software tool.
- a software tool “S7- PDIAG * is known, which is intended for the configuration of a process diagnosis for the Siemens automation devices "SIMATIC S7". In addition to the configuration for the detection of process errors, this software tool enables the display of process errors.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a software tool that simplifies monitoring of an automation device for faults.
- a diagnostic system must be created which enables simplified monitoring of an automation device for faults.
- the object is achieved by the measures specified in claim 1, with regard to the diagnostic system by the measures specified in claim 5.
- the first representation includes the physical view of the car ati- s mecanics confuses with geographic address information and error labels
- the second representation includes the tabular view with expanded information, for.
- the fact that the software tool displays information about the cause of the fault and the remedy of the fault in a third display means that a user can quickly initiate appropriate measures for monitoring for faults.
- the software tool generates an assignment arrow which can be represented on the display unit and which connects the selected slot and / or the selected function module of the first representation to the second representation, the software tool displaying the first and second representations synchronously.
- the software tool shows in the first representation the rack with the slots and the plugged-in functional modules in accordance with their spatial appearance, which represents a simplified human-machine interface.
- FIGs 1 to 3 different representations of an automation device on a display unit of a programming device, wherein the same parts shown in Figures 1 to 3 are provided with the same reference numerals.
- a software tool which is provided for the configuration and diagnosis of an automation device, can run on a programming device (not shown).
- This automation device has at least one rack and a plurality of functional modules which can be plugged into this rack, specific slots of the rack being provided for each of these functional modules due to the hardware properties of these modules and / or due to the system architecture of the automation device.
- the pluggable function modules can e.g. B. as CPU modules, as communication modules, as digital and / or analog input and / or output modules.
- identification table 1 (FIG. 1), which can be represented on the display unit by the software tool, identifications of the function modules are displayed in a table in columns and rows. These labels have module names 2 and module properties 3.
- the labeling table 1 essentially shows module properties in the form of order numbers, memory configurations and connection types.
- an input and selection unit in the form of a so-called mouse a user selects the desired function module to be operated in the automation device by selecting the corresponding line in the identification table 1 by means of a drag & drop movement known per se and in moves a slot of a rack represented graphically on the display unit in a first representation in a representation field 4, the function module selected in the identification table 1 changing its representation due to the displacement and being displayed in graphic form.
- a drag & drop movement known per se and in moves a slot of a rack represented graphically on the display unit in a first representation in a representation field 4, the function module selected in the identification table 1 changing its representation due to the displacement and being displayed in graphic form.
- this slot in the display field 4 by the content of this selected line in the labeling table 1 is not moved, but copied, whereby the content of the labeling table 1 is retained.
- a CPU312IFM drawn CPU module in the slot 5s of the rack 33 the software tool in the racks 03 to 3a in the display field 4 shows in which slots 13 to 113 this module can be inserted at all.
- the software tool prevents the user from moving a module into a slot in a rack 03 to 33 that is not approved for this module. Such a drag & drop movement is rejected and displayed with a corresponding error message.
- the racks 0 to 3 shown on the display unit in the display field 4 with the associated slots 13 to 113 as well as the functional modules 5 shifted into the racks 03 to 3s are shown essentially according to their hardware configuration, ie the modules are essentially according to their spatial Appearance is shown on the display unit.
- the racks 03 to 33 are not shown graphically in FIG. 2, but in the form of tabs 5 to 8 in a second representation in a display field 9.
- a user again selects a line from the identification table 1 to configure the automation device and moves the content of the selected line to one of the tabs 5 to 8 by means of a drag & drop movement, as a result of which the slots 13 to 113 of the selected tab 5 to 8 are displayed.
- tab 5, i.e. rack 0 is selected, whereby the slot 5s into which the selected CPU module CPU312IFM can be inserted is identified.
- FIG. 3 a diagnostic view is shown on the display unit of the programming device.
- the programming device is connected online to the automation device, with the automation device being shown graphically in display field 4 and tabular in display field 9 in this diagnostic view.
- this Diagnostic view contains the graphic form in a context, the physical view of the automation device with geographic address information - rack 03 to 33, slots 13 to 113 - as well as error labels and, in the form of a table, expanded information such as logical address information and module states.
- the diagnostic view is automatically activated in the programming device, as a result of which the software tool displays the automation device in graphic and tabular form in the display fields 4 and 9.
- the software tool preferably represents the forms of representation synchronously, the software tool identifying faulty functional modules and generating an assignment arrow which connects the faulty slot and / or the faulty functional module of the first representation with the second representation.
- an assignment arrow 10 points to a faulty module inserted in the slot 53 in the graphic representation and to a slot 53 in the table representation, the user on the basis of the
- the software tool displays 11 information about the cause of the malfunction, the time of the malfunction and how to remedy it.
- the software tool also preferably displays this representation synchronously with the first and second representation.
