Once a machine has been delivered, it is serviced by commissioning, maintenance, service or repair personnel. 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 environment. 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. Automation Studio provides a range of integrated diagnostics tools as well as an extensive help documentation. This allows fast diagnosis of the control system, drive and integrated safety technology.
