Status displays and actions
ing
• Monitoring for temperature high and low limits as
well as cable breaks of the temperature sensors
• Temperature sensors record the temperature at criti-
cal device points, e.g. at the processor.
• The temperature thresholds are defined for the indi-
vidual temperature sensors.
• With SIMATIC IPC DiagBase or SIMATIC IPC DiagMoni-
tor, actions are triggered when the temperature
• Temperature alarm is generated.
• Monitoring of the system status and message to de-
termine if a station is still operational
• If the watchdog is not addressed within a configured

are displayed in a RAID group:
"Normal", "OK", "Degraded", error
