Overview
System monitoring lets you obtain information about operating states of Hirschmann switches by using the diagnostic engine. The engine sends requests to their IP address and monitors responses.
The state of the device is indicated by a diagnostic icon in the physical view in which the device appears.
Detection Method
The diagnostic engine that runs on the computer acting as Control Expert server sends Modbus TCP requests to Hirschmann switches by using the IP address of their embedded interface to obtain information about their state.
States Indicated by Diagnostic Icons
The table describes which operating state can be represented on Hirschmann switches in a physical view and the icon that is used. Its description is indicated in a tooltip.
