10 Diagnosis and troubleshooting
10.1 What to do in case of failure?
After switching on the BPS, display elements (see chapter 3.3 "Display elements") assist in checking the
proper function and troubleshooting.
In case of error, you can determine the error from the LED displays. With the error message you can deter-
mine the cause of the error and initiate measures to rectify it.
Ä Switch off the system and leave it switched off.
Ä Analyze the cause of the error using the operation indicators, the error messages and the diagnostic
tools (also with the help of the webConfig tool, DIAGNOSIS tab) and rectify the error.
NOTICE
Contact Leuze subsidiary/customer service.
Ä If you are unable to rectify a fault, contact the Leuze branch responsible for you or call the
Leuze customer service (see chapter 12 "Service and support").
10.1.1
PROFINET-specific diagnostics
The following diagnostics options are available with PROFINET:
• Event-related diagnostics
• State-related diagnostics
The BPS uses the event-related diagnostics for high-prioritized events/errors and the state-related diagnos-
tics for preventive maintenance and the signaling of low-prioritized events or warnings.
Event-related diagnostics
PROFINET transmits events within an automation process as alarms that must be acknowledged by the
application process.
The following events are possible:
• Process alarms: Events that originate from the process and are reported to the control.
• Diagnostic alarms: Events that indicate the malfunctioning of an IO device.
• Maintenance alarms: Transmission of information to avoid the failure of a device through preventive
maintenance work.
• Manufacturer-specific diagnostics
To identify the alarms uniquely, they are always reported via a slot/subslot.
The user can prioritize diagnostic and process alarms differently.
In addition, all alarms are entered into the diagnostics buffer. The diagnostics buffer can be read by a supe-
rior instance via acyclic read services.
