5.2.1. Logbook
For diagnostic purposes, the logbook contains the last 32 error messages and warning
signals of the inverter, which have occurred during operation.
Preconditions
The logbook can only be accessed
• via the user interface of »Emotron Easy starter« ("Diagnostics" tab) or
• via network.
Details
In contrast to the error history buffer, the logbook additionally protocols the following
events:
• Fault messages
• Change-over from normal to setup mode (and vice versa)
• Execution of device commands
• Avoidance of safety functions
The logbook entries are saved persistently in the inverter. If all 32 memory units are
occupied, the oldest entry is deleted for a new entry. By means of the "Delete logbook"
device command, all logbook entries can be deleted.
Accessing the logbook with »Emotron Easy starter«
• Select the inverter on the left side in the »Emotron Easy starter« device list.
• Change to the "Diagnostics" tab.
• Click the
icon to open the logbook.
Observe that the logbook only presents a snapshot at the time the data are read out. If a
new event occurs, the logbook must be read out again so that the new event becomes
visible.
Accessing the logbook via network
The logbook can also be accessed via network from a higher-level controller or a
visualisation. The structure of the diagnostic messages complies with the "ETG.1020"
standard of the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG).
See chapter 13.3 of document "ETG.1020 Protocol Enhancements" provided
by the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) for detailed information on the
structure of the diagnostic messages.
