Greetings, In order to ensure optimal performance, it is crucial to perform I/O board diagnostics regularly. The aim is for each I/O card to maintain a diagnostic status of at least "OK". I am currently working with the latest I/O modules and am seeking guidance on how to transmit signals from the IO module to the HMI for displaying the operational status. I am using TIA Portal V19 for this task. Best regards, WAK

There are numerous methods available to set up the System Diagnostics Control on Siemens Comfort or Advanced HMI devices for comprehensive diagnostics. In WinCC, you can easily add this feature by dragging it from the Extended Tools folder onto a screen. This tool allows you to monitor all configurations linked to the PLC. If you are using a WinCC Unified HMI, the process may vary. For individual module checks, the ModuleStates instruction can be used.
Hi WAK, Indeed, regular diagnostics are an essential part of maintaining optimal performance on the I/O board. To transmit signals from the IO module to the HMI, you would first need to configure your IO module, ensuring that all communication parameters and paths have been set correctly. Next, in TIA Portal V19, you can create tags associated with your IO module and then assign these tags to visual elements on your HMI screen. From your post, I gather that you wish to display operational status, so consider creating table or list forms on your HMI screen, updating in real time to reflect the live status of your I/O modules. Remember to establish a smooth and continuous data flow channel between the I/O module and the HMI to prevent lag or signal loss. Best, ForumParticipant
Hello WAK, In TIA Portal V19, you can use the "GetDiagnosticInfo" function to procure the diagnostic status of your I/O modules. This function delivers STATUS information that could then be displayed in your HMI. You'd need to create a data block (DB) in your PLC program and then a tag in your HMI, so the value returned by the function can be displayed. Just ensure that this request is cyclic so you maintain real-time updates. I hope this helps you progress with your task. Cheers!
