Monitoring and diagnostics 
for industrial PCs
SIMATIC IPCs are rugged industrial PCs for professional au-
tomation solutions in 24-h operation. Because of their 
high system availability, in PCS 7 systems they are often 
used, for example, as operator or Maintenance Station or 
also as engineering station or OPC server. 
The SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor monitoring and signaling soft-
ware recognizes possible hardware and software faults at an 
early point in time, and provides corresponding messages for 
the Maintenance Station. In connection with several SIMATIC 
IPCs, client/server network architectures can be set up via LAN 
and can centrally monitor all SIMATIC IPCs in plant facilities 
using DiagMonitor. The integrated webserver lets you view 
and manage data via an internet browser. Efficient service 
structures can be established by integrating automated com-
munication paths, e.g. by means of Ethernet, e-mail, or text 
messages (phone).
DiagMonitor supplements the operating data of the monito-
red PCs with text messages, transmits them via the SNMP OPC 
server and outputs them in the associated asset management 
view.
• The "Monitoring 1" view indicates the number of operating 
hours of the SIMATIC IPC and the interior unit temperature 
at different measurement points in the device, e.g. at the 
processor and at the motherboard.
• In two additional views the speeds of the fans are output or 
diagnostic data and information on the status of the drives 
is displayed. It is then possible, for example, for the user to 
replace hard disks as a preventive measure before a loss of 
data occurs (preventive maintenance).

In addition, the user is warned in good time of fan or hard disk 
failures (preventive maintenance). In the event of an alarm, the 
DiagMonitor can also start autonomous programs such as spe-
cial PC tools or user-specific applications for individual response 
to alarms.
Prevention of potential failures
• Diagnostics and signaling functions for PC temperature, 
fan, drives, system status (watchdog)
• Operating hours counter for preventive maintenance
• Recording and evaluation of operating data
• Integral log function, comprehensive text messages and 
online help in German and English.
Possibilities for minimizing PC downtimes:
• Product Equipment Data is an online service tool for simple 
and quick information about the equipment configuration 
in the delivery condition. The information also supports the 
procurement of spare parts (www.siemens.com/ped).
• The after-sales information system for SIMATIC IPC/PG of-
fers product and contact information on the Internet in one 
central location (www.siemens.com/asis).
The SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor supports fast detection and efficient avoidance of potential system failures
