8.3 Starting Diagnostics
8.3.1 Establishing a Connection to the Ethernet CP
Initial Situation
Establish the physical connection between the PG and the SIMATIC S7 Station.
There are two ways of doing this:
 MPI
 Industrial Ethernet (ISO protocol)
 Industrial Ethernet TCP/IP (IP protocol)
 PROFIBUS
Ways of Starting Diagnostics
You can start NCM Diagnostics from the following STEP 7 functions or dialogs:
 CP properties dialog
 Windows Start menu
 Connections properties dialog (NetPro)
 Hardware configuration HW Config
These possibilities are described below.
8.3.2 Starting Diagnostics from the CP Properties Dialog
If the project data are available on your PG/PC, follow the steps outlined below:
1. Select the S7 station in the project and open the hardware configuration (HW
Config).
2. Select the CP and open the Properties dialog.
3. Select the “Diagnostics” dialog.
4. Select the “Run” button.
Result:
NCM S7 Diagnostics is opened. The path is set automatically to match the current
connection in STEP 7.
