Remote diagnosis

For remote diagnosis of the SINUMERIK 840Di, the optional software product from
Siemens with the same name grants direct access to the control system from any
PC. To do so, the appropriate software must be installed on both systems (viewer
PC and control system). The viewer software must be installed on the PC from
which you wish the remote diagnosis to carry out, and the host variant on the
SINUMERIK 840Di.
Functions
The following functions are provided for the remote diagnosis:
•
remote process control and monitoring
•
chat mode for mutual transmission of textual information
•
file transfer for automatic readout and transfer of individual files
•
an effective safety concept to prevent unauthorized access (log-in and
password, confirmation by the operator or callback to a previously defined
connection)
Note:
The PLC remote diagnosis requires a SIMATIC STEP / version (option) installed on
the SINUMERIK 840Di.
Transmission media
The following transmission media can be used for the remote diagnosis:
•
Direct connection between PC and control system
•
Modem-to-modem connection via the public telephone network (fixed and
cellular telephone network)

Network security and network connections
To realize comprehensive IT solutions, SIMATIC NET offers a comprehensive
