New Functions in Version V4.02
10 Diagnosing Hardware
New Function: Diagnosing Hardware ± Quick View
In the SIMATIC Manager you can specify which of the following options should be displayed when you call up diagnosing hardware:
Short information (ªDiagnosing Hardware - Quick Viewº dialog box) or
Detailed information (ªHW Config - Diagnosing Hardwareº dialog box) In the second case, it takes STEP 7 longer to trace and display the data.
1. Select the menu command Options Customize in the SIMATIC Manager.
2.Activate (default setting) or deactivate the option ªDisplay Quick View when Diagnosing Hardwareº in the ªViewº tab of the dialog box.
The quick view only displays the CPU and those modules in which the CPU has detected a fault (for example, diagnostic interrupt, I/O access error). You can select a module and then call up the module status. This will provide you with detailed diagnostic information, depending on the diagnostic capability of the module.
You can use the ªOpen Station Onlineº button to display the diagnostic information in its entirety. This provides you with a graphic overview of the whole station, as well as information on the configuration.
11 Archiving
Support for Archive Program JAR (1.02) and Winzip (Batch Mode)
If you wish to archive files, you can now also use the JAR archive program (version 1.02 onwards) or the WinZip archive program (version 6.3 onwards) in batch mode.
Archiving Projects with ªLongº File Names
Projects which have long file names (beyond the 8.3 DOS convention) or deeply- nested directory structures (with directories whose absolute path name exceeds 64 characters) should only be archived using the WinZip or JAR archive programs. Using other archive programs does not guarantee that you will be able to unpack the archive files in these structures completely or correctly. This applies in particular to projects containing objects from the WinCC optional package.
