Contents of this chapter WinPISA offers extensive and user−friendly possibilities of
diagnosing, treating errors and optimizing the SPC200. The
following possibilities are available and are described in this
chapter:
Errors which occur in online mode are displayed in clear
text.
The function Status display" shows the system status of
the connected SPC200.
Monitoring of the flags
and registers as well as the inputs
and outputs (bit and byte operands) is carried out with
the function Observe".
With the function Test mode" individual bit and byte
operands (also inputs) can be manipulated for test and
diagnostic purposes.
With the Debug mode programs can be checked using
measured values in both single−step
mode and continu
ous mode.
The optimization of positions in the position list.
The judging of positioning procedures with the aid of the
graphic representation of registered values (for optimiz
ing the positioning behaviour).
Further information The LEDs on the SPC200 and the connected field devices
show directly configuration errors, hardware errors, string
errors, etc.
The control panel shows error messages coded in
the form of a hexadecimal number. Information on the LED
functions and fault messages can be found in the system
manual for the SPC200 or in the manual for the relevant mo
dule.
