Diagnostics and upkeep
7.3 SINAUT diagnostics and service tool
TIM DNP3
246 System Manual, 06/2014, C79000-G8976-C253-03
Note
Attempting to access a remote subscriber using the
SINAUT subscriber list
of a STEP 7
project can lead to "misunderstandings" if the subscriber is not connected to the local MPI
bus and the PG routing
function is not activated. With functions involving access to the
module, the remote subscriber is displayed in the
Path
field of the diagnostics dialog,
however the diagnostic data is that of the locally connected subscriber.
The SINAUT subscriber list displays the following entries for each subscriber:
●
: The subscriber number of the SINAUT subscriber that is unique
throughout the project
●
: The
redundant subscriber number
parameter is used only when
there is a redundant partner for the subscriber in question. The number specifies the
common subscriber number under which the redundant system can be addressed by
other subscribers.
●
Subscriber no. of red. Partner
: The
Subscriber number of the redundant partner
parameter is used only when there is a redundant partner for this subscriber. The
parameter specifies which of the subscribers belong to a redundant relationship.
●
: The
subscriber type
specifies the class of subscriber involved. The
subscriber type cannot be set by the user.
●
: The module, application or PC/PG name. This can be changed in the
configuration. As default, this is the name of the module type or the application as
specified in the configuration.
●
: Name of the station specified by the user in the configuration using NetPro.
●
: Specifies whether a SINAUT connection was configured for the
subscriber.
●
: SINAUT system library for the TD7 software blocks
Nothing is displayed here for DNP3 CPUs because TD7onTIM is used.
●
: With TIM modules, the version of the TIM firmware is displayed.
If you connect a programming device (PG) or a PC to access the diagnostic data, you only
have access to the local network. The diagnostic data of remote subscribers in other subnets
is not accessible.
To access subscribers in other subnets, you can use PG Routing. If you access data in a
subordinate subnet after activating PG Routing, remember that you can only access
subordinate subnets and not subnets higher in the network hierarchy. The prerequisites,
functions and activation of PG routing are described in a separate chapter.
The PG Routing function is possible only when using the
SINAUT subscriber list
; PG Routing
is not possible when using
Accessible Nodes
