SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor monitors, signals, and communicates with a central server, acts in the event of an alarm, and logs the system states of the SIMATIC IPCs.

It monitors

• Processor and internal device temperatures
• Fans
• Operating system status by means of "watchdog"
• Function of the HDD / SSD or RAID system using the S.M.A.R.T. diagnostic bytes
• New generation of the SIMATIC IPC CompactFlash Card / CFast Card with diagnostics capability

It signals

• Accumulated operating hours for controlling service intervals
• Each alarm and logs it
• Overshoot/undershoot of permissible operating temperature
• Program interruption following a watchdog timeout
• Hard drive problems

It communicates

• Locally with an OPC client
• Locally via DLL or SNMP with a central server
• Remotely over LAN, e-mail, text messages
• Via diagnostic LEDs and 7-segment displays on the device
• Worldwide over the Internet through a web server

It acts in the event of an alarm

• By starting customer applications
• Through predefined applications (e.g. restart)

It logs

• All alarms and operations automatically in a log file
• Measured data (temperature, fan) over the operating period

It visualizes

• Recorded measuring data (with trend analysis)

It synchronizes

• System time over LAN (e.g. maintenance-free operation without CMOS battery)

Furthermore, customers have the option of creating their own applications via a programming interface.
