Configuring system diagnostics

System diagnostics basics
Introduction
You use system diagnostics to detect problems and errors in any part of your plant. WinCC
has two display and operating elements for quick error localization.
The alarm view shows the status of a CPU while the system diagnostics view gives you an
overview of all devices available in your system: You navigate directly to the cause of the
error and to the relevant device. You have access to all devices supporting diagnostics you
have configured in the "Devices & networks" editor.
System diagnostics window
The system diagnostics window is an operating and display element that you can only use in
the global screen.
The functions of the system diagnostics window are no different than those of the system
diagnostics view. Because the system diagnostics window is configured in the global screen,
you can, for example, also specify if the object is closable in Runtime.
