Description
Attached is the new "PCDiagBridge V1.04.7" diagnostics software that you can download free of charge.

"PCDiagBridge" is a software tool that reads out the diagnostics data from SIMATIC IPCs, SITOP USVs, WinAC RTX and WinAC RTX F and makes it available to the SIMATIC HMI software products WinCC and WinCC flexible. You can use "PCDiagBridge" to monitor the following hardware and software components:

• SIMATIC IPC hardware (fan speed, CPU temperature, CMOS voltage and mass storage, for example)
• SITOP UPS (operating mode, error message, switch-off)
• Operating and monitoring of the WinAC RTX / WinAC RTX F (Run/Stop, error display, operating mode)

The "PCDiagBridge" user interface provides you with all the relevant PC diagnostics data at a glance. Prepared templates for WinCC and WinCC flexible permit easy integration of the diagnostics data into the SIMATIC visualization system.

Note
If you require one of the following functions:

• Monitoring of networked SIMATIC IPCs
• Reading out and sending of error messages via OPC server, e-mail or SMS
• Worldwide monitoring of SIMATIC IPCs via Web browser

we recommend using "SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor". More information about the "SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor" is available in Entry ID: 43192661 and at:
