7.6.7 Messages via diagnostics channels
Messages can be displayed not only using the established commissioning tools (STARTER,
SCOUT). After the activation of a diagnostic function, the messages are also transferred to
the higher-level controller via the standardized diagnostic channels. The messages are
evaluated there or forwarded for convenient display at the various user interfaces (SIMATIC
HMI, TIA Portal, etc.). The messages are shown on the respective user interfaces similarly
as in STARTER.
In this way, problems or faults can be located immediately regardless of the tool currently
being used, and then corrected immediately. No further tools must therefore be called for the
correction.
Activating the diagnostics function
The diagnostics function is activated or deactivated via the parameterization of the relevant
configuration tool (HW Config, TIA Portal, etc.).
