Trace - Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 System Manual

System overview
5.3 SIMATIC Drive Controller functions
Example: Web server facilitates commissioning and local diagnostics for standard machines
Automation task:
Implementation of a user interface for commissioning and calibrating test benches.
Feature:
When standard machines are commissioned, parameters often need to be set once for setup,
for example in line with the place of installation or purpose. Examples of such parameters
include machine runtime program parameters in the CPU.
The operator also requires easy access to the SIMATIC Drive Controller for rapid local
diagnostics in the event of an error.
Solution:
Creation of user sites for the Web server of a SIMATIC Drive Controller. The customer can
make the machine settings themselves over these websites without PG/PC, for example
adjust the calibration parameters or change the formats.
In the event of an error, rapid initial diagnostics is possible over the integrated Web pages of
the SIMATIC Drive Controller without the need for the engineering project.
Advantages and customer benefits
The Web server provides the following advantages:
• Access via Web browsers to a SIMATIC Drive Controller with plant-related operating data
• Display of service and diagnostics information over large distances
• Access restrictions for unauthorized users
• Firmware update of CPU and SINAMICS Integrated via remote access; see the section:
Firmware update SIMATIC Drive Controller, under Procedure via the integrated Web server
(Page 319)
Additional information
A detailed description of handling the Web server can be found in the SIMATIC S7-1500 Web
Server Function Manual (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/59193560).
5.3.4

Trace

The SIMATIC Drive Controller has an integrated Trace functionality for the effective
commissioning and optimization of drives and controllers. The Trace function is available for
the integrated CPU and SINAMICS Integrated.
The trace function records the following in line with the adjustable trigger conditions:
• CPU tags in the CPU Trace
• Drive parameters in the SINAMICS Integrated Trace
By visualizing the entire process with real-time Trace, you can identify sporadic events in the
system during commissioning and service, for example.
