With the latest version of the System Diagnostics Manager (SDM), B&R has added a range of powerful new diagnostic functions. The user profits not just from being able to access information about system hardware and software from anywhere in the world, but also from ready-made diagnostic applets that can be easily integrated directly into applications.
Since all service functions necessary for a machine or systems are already integrated in the System Diagnostics Manager, it can be launched from any PC without any installation whatsoever. The only requirement is a conventional web browser. The appearance of the System Diagnostics Manager can also be individually customised to match the look and feel of the machine or systems manufacturer who is using it.
In addition to being able to quickly access current drive values, the axis error list also provides information in table form about errors that are still outstanding as well as those that have already been acknowledged. SDM can also be used to easily access and operate oscilloscopes that are integrated in drives.
Being able to check the current status of I/O channels on every bit of hardware with an integrated I/O viewer means that machine and system commissioning is easier than ever, and the process of testing I/O points using electrical wiring is now a thing of the past.
