4.6 Diagnostics

4.6.1 Collect data over Ethernet

The data can be collected free of errors. The following data were reviewed:

- Controller type and firmware version

- Number and name of the axes

- Project information:

�Project date project information is in one hour later shown, as in the Diagnostics

(category project information)

- Communications log (entries)

- Message logger

� entries


� Additional message loggers can be loaded

- Configuration Control (objects are present)

4.6.2 Collect data over COM

The data can be collected free of errors. The following data should be checked:



- Project information

� Project date project information is in one hour later shown, as in the Diagnostics (category project information)


- Message logger

� entries



4.6.3 Open and save data The data can be stored in a pdi file and be loaded again from this file.

4.7 NetManage

4.7.1 Starting and controls display PD-Netmanage can be started without errors, and the controls are displayed.

In the detailed view, both the data controller as well as project information can be seen.

Scrolling the mouse wheel results in the following error message (with the scroll bar and the arrow up and down buttons, can be scrolled)


Figure 13:NetManage: Error message when scrolling with mouse wheel

4.7.2 Other functionality The controls give visual and audible signals when the corresponding menu command is invoked in

Netmanage.

Favorites can be added and removed. Controls can be assigned to your favorites. The Favorites

list can be filtered.

With Extras �� External Tools the tools listed can be started. The controller assistant is listed

twice here.

It can be sorted by any column.

The data selected and for all controls can be displayed in the browser.

4.8 Gateway V2 Using the context menu of the Gateway icon in the taskbar, the Gateway actions are logged and traced.

When Logging is enabled, a log file is created in which the information is stored. By default this is C: \ WINDOWS \ Gateway Files \ log indicated. The folder can be created, although in this directory, no files are stored (the files are stored in the virtual storage), if the user has no write permissions on the folder.


Either these rights are granted, or the log files must be stored in another directory.

If the location for the log files is changed to another directory, the log files are stored properly.

When enabled, tracing, additional information can be seen in the gateway-inspector. Again, this works without error.

4.9 OPC-Server

4.9.1 OPC-Server configuration With the help of the application OPCConfig.exe, the file OPCServer.ini can be opened.

OPCConfig.exe must be started as administrator; otherwise the changes are not saved in the ini file.

It is the same setup that is necessary as in Windows XP.

In EPAS-4 project, the project information configures the symbol file. To test some of the variables of the program UnitMaster are inserted into the Configuration icon.

The current installation package comes with an OPC server, after installation registers as a COM server (V1.2 Beta 2; general failure of the installer). After the OPC Server is registered by use of admin privileges, a client can connect to the OPC Server.

According to documents from 3S, the OPC client should on Vista (even if under Windows 7 is still open) in XP compatibility mode be started.
