CIMPLICITYDiagnosis Data
- Diagnosis information for point configuration.
- Control manual required information for point configuration.
- Restrictions for configuring points as diagnosis.
Diagnosis information for point configuration
After you have determined this information, you may configure points using the following information:
- Bit Diagnosis (no axis).
- Bit Diagnosis (with axis).
- Byte Diagnosis (no axis).
- Byte Diagnosis (with axis).
- Word Diagnosis (no axis).
- Word Diagnosis (with axis).
- Longword (2-word) Diagnosis (no axis).
- Longword (2-word) Diagnosis (with axis).
- Real (4-word) Diagnosis (no axis).
- Real (4-word) Diagnosis (with axis).
Control manual required information for point configuration
Before configuring a point, refer to the Maintenance Manual for your control type (Series 15, Series 16 or Power Mate) to determine the following information.
- Is the CNC diagnosis a bit, byte, word, longword (2-word) or real (4-word) data?
- Does the CNC diagnosis contain signed or unsigned data?
- Does the CNC diagnosis have data for every axis or is there just a single value?
Restrictions for configuring points as diagnosis
When configuring points as diagnosis, be aware of the following restrictions:
- You cannot configure points as array points for diagnosis data.
- You cannot write to diagnosis data.
- In general, most CNC diagnosis data contain "SIGNED" data, so you should use the equivalent signed point type (SINT, INT, or DINT).
- Valid diagnosis addresses are 0 &endash; 6,200.
Important: CIMPLICITY HSSB and Ethernet device points for diagnosis data should be configured according to the instructions in the appropriate CNC Controller Maintenance Manual.
