How to configure and execute tracejobs via web-based SIMOTION Trace connector application.
SIMOTION Trace connector is a web-based application running on SIEMENS Industrial Edge
This tutorial was created to help user to configure and execute tracejobs via the SIMOTION webserver interface and download the recorded traced data to the Edge device.
For the SIMOTION Trace connector application the following requirements are necessary:
- The WebServer of the SIMOTION needs to be activated. This also enables automatically the used OPC XML DA protocol.
- Open port 80 for Webserver and OPC XML DA
- Only DXXX-2 Series hardware is supported, older generation SIMOTION DXXX are not supported.
- SIMOTION Firmware Version V4.4 or newer
- Industrial Edge Device with RT V1 or higher
- Device license: 6ES7823-0EE00-4AY0
- Device: 6ES7647-8BD31-0CW1
Notice: the app is currently not running on WinCC Comfort Panels with integrated Edge functionality
When the app is installed, it offers the following functionality:
- Definition of tracejobs (variables, trace duration, trigger condition)
- Automatic execution and scheduling of the tracejobs
- Remanet storage of the trace results
- Visualization of the trace data
- Publishing of the trace results via MQTT data bus
- External triggering and status monitoring of the tracejobs via MQTT
Following instructions describe the main steps how to successfully create your first trace:
-
Connect new SIMOTION, using correct IP address and a SIMOTION name
-
Preselect variables that will later be used to configure the tracejobs
-
Configure and schedule tracejob
-
Check information about executed tracejobs
Application functionality and user scenarios are detailed in user documentation.
