Programming and Operating Manual, Edition 09/2008, GWA 4NEB 333 1558 02 DS 02 17
Start Assistant
Option Diagnostics
When you select the Diagnostics option, first a window opens with the following query. By
clicking Neutral, the diagnostic information of the connected AS-Interface safety monitor is
queried, even if no configuration is loaded in ASIMON.
Figure 3-2 Query with the Diagnostics option
Next, the Diagnostics window opens (see chapter 6.1 "Diagnostics").
Note
In order to query the diagnostic information, the connected AS-Interface safety monitor must
be in protective operation.
If a connection to the AS-Interface safety monitor cannot be established on program startup
(no AS-Interface safety monitor connected, connected to wrong interface etc.) or if the connec-
ted AS-Interface safety monitor is in configuration operation, the Diagnostics option is deac-
tivated.
In this case, it is only possible to create a new configuration, load and edit a configuration which
has been stored on a data carrier or to search for errors (see chapter 6.2 "Troubleshooting and
error rectification").
Note
Querying the diagnostic information of an unknown configuration can take several minutes, as
the configuration of the connected AS-Interface safety monitor must be reconstructed in ASI-
MON. In this way you can load an unknown configuration without needing to exit protective
operation.
