SIMOTION Task Profiler application 

The SIMOTION Task Profiler is a dedicated application installed parallel to SIMOTION 

SCOUT during the SIMOTION SCOUT setup. The Task Profiler can be called in online mode 

from the device diagnosis in SIMOTION SCOUT or the Windows application. In cases of 

malfunction or errors, the Task Trace data can be written in a directory or on the CF card. 

This data can then be processed using the Task Trace Viewer.  
For further information, see the 

SIMOTION Task Trace

 Function Manual. 

Diagnostic functions with the DIP switch 

The following diagnostic functions are possible using the specified switch settings on the DIP 

switch of the D410:  
●  Downgrading a SIMOTION device - switch 6 

You can use this function to undo a SIMOTION devices update. 

Place switch 6 of the DIP switch on the D410 to ON (0000010), and switch the D410 off 

and on.  

The "Start devices update tool" function is described in the 

Upgrading SIMOTION 

Devices

 Function Manual. 

●  Writing diagnostic data to the CF card - switch 7 

This diagnostic data can provide important information after a D410 malfunction (crash). 

If this function has been performed, diagnostic data is written to the CF card. This data 

can then be sent in a suitable form, e.g. compressed as *.zip file, to the Technical 

Support for evaluation.  

Proceed as follows: 
1.  To do this, set the DIP switch 7 to ON. 
2.  Shutdown the D410. 
3.  Switch on the D410. The data will be written to the CF card. Wait until the D410 has 

completed its start. 

4.  Shutdown the D410 and remove the CF card. 
5.  A DIAG folder is created in the \USER\SIMOTION\HMI\SYSLOG directory. This folder 

contains the diagnostic data. 

6.  Transfer the diagnostic data for processing to the Technical Support.
