NOTICE

The diagnostics options are limited

Error messages that the RF120C communications module forwards automatically to the

SIMATIC controller are not evaluated by S7-1200 controllers with firmware version 4.0. For

this reason error messages from the communications module are displayed neither on the

controller nor in the TIA Portal. This error eliminated by an update of the SIMATIC controller.

The error display using the function block is not affected by this restriction in diagnostics.

You have the following diagnostics options available for the module:

• The LEDs of the module

For information on the LED displays, refer to the section "LED status display on the RF120C

(Page 27)".

• STEP 7 Basic / Professional using the TIA Portal: Diagnostics functions in the "Online &

diagnostics" menu

Here, you can obtain static information on the selected module:

– General information on the module

– Diagnostics status

• Evaluation with the standard "GET_DIAG" instruction

• Evaluation based on the "ERROR" and "STATUS" output parameters

You can find information on the parameters in the section "Error messages (Page 31)".

Diagnostics with the TIA Portal (STEP 7 Basic / Professional)
