WinCC OA diagnostics

The following information is mapped onto data points in order to provide simpler analysis of the usage of a WinCC OA system.

  • All messages from each manager that have been sent (SND) or received (RCV) during the last interval of n seconds. Some of the WinCC OA messages are mapped onto the same categories (see Table 7: message categories)
  • All configs saved in managers (Data, Event, Driver(1-9))
  • Data points
  • Data types

-report all

Before any change to an attribute, the Event Manager saves the corresponding config so that changes can be undone. This can load the system. The size of the saved list is therefore displayed in -report all (no. of undo/redo configs).

It also provides information on:

  • Data types: Memory usage, number, number of nodes; number of type references
  • Data points: Memory usage, number
  • Data point configs: Memory usage,
  • Config details: Number, name
  • Timeout: gives the remaining time, if the event has to buffer because of the Redundancy.

Chapter Description
WinCC OA diagnostics Introduction and links to the topics
Message diagnostics All messages from each manager that have been sent (SND) or received (RCV) during the last interval of n seconds.
Config diagnostics The Event Manager, the Data Manager and all drivers write the number of configs that they are managing in a data point
Diagnostics panels The Event Manager Connections panel (system management) displays the number of system messages sent and received by each manager.
