Standardized diagnostic concept

Without standardization, the search for the causes of a machine's failures or errors can take a long time. Specialists are often required for this. With a standardized diagnostic concept, you can display the condition of every machine on your screen and evaluate them quickly. That means you can quickly respond and reduce your downtimes.

White Paper: Standardization of System and machine diagnostics

Standardize by configuration instead of programming

Siemens relies on a “configuration instead of programming” approach to harmonize diagnostic messages in order to make diagnostics and monitoring easier, quicker and more efficient.

Diagnosis with uniform engineering framework

Centrally design alarms and visualize them automatically

Watch the demo video to see how to easily create alarms with ProDiag and how to handle error scenarios.

Complete System Integration

Thanks to the open communication standard OPC UA and its Alarms & Conditions specification, all diagnostic information from machines and systems with an SIMATIC S7-1200/1500 controller can be used by devices and systems from other manufacturers, regardless of the level of the automation pyramid.
