SEM920 – Training: Diagnostics and service for machines

After delivery of a machine, it is serviced by the machine manufacturer or end user. Errors or machine downtime could occur because of various factors. The diagnostics optionsLED status indicators, System Diagnostics Manager and the Runtime Utility Center are used for diagnostics in the control system environment. Automation Studio is not covered in this seminar. If diagnostics via Automation Studio is required, we recommend attending a longer version of this seminar: "SEM920.3 - Training: Diagnostics and service with Automation Studio" in the control system environment or on the B&R controller can quickly provide an overview. B&R's website and user's manuals provide valuable information.
