Diagnostics information using the HMI diagnostics view
Objects for system diagnostics
The full functionality of the HIM diagnostics view is only available with Comfort Panels and
WinCC RT Advanced . Basic Panels do not support the complete range of system
diagnostics functions.
Two objects are available for system diagnostics on an HMI device.
The system diagnostics view reflects the current status of all accessible devices in your
plant. You navigate directly to the cause of the error and the associated device. You have
access to all diagnostics-capable devices that you have configured in the STEP 7 hardware
and network editor.
System diagnostics window
The system diagnostics window is an operating element and display object.
The functions of the system diagnostics window are the same as for the system diagnostics
view. Because the system diagnostics window is configured in the "Global screen", you can
also specify, for example, if the object can be closed in WinCC Runtime.
Note
Compatibility with Basic Panels
Only the "System diagnostics view" object is available with Basic Panels.
Basic Panels do not support the "System diagnostics window" object or the graphic symbol
"System diagno
stics indicator".
Configuring system diagnostics
Introduction
You add a system diagnostics view or a system diagnostics window to your project to get an
overview of all devices available in your plant.
The system diagnostics window behaves like the system diagnostics view but is only
available in the global screen.
● At least one CPU has been set up in the project.
● An HMI device (e.g., Comfort Panel) has been set up in the project.
● CPU and the HMI device are connected with each other by an HMI connection.
● You have created a screen (for the system diagnostics view).
● The global screen is open (for the system diagnostics window).
● The Inspector window is open.
