Application Note DK9122-0510-0025
Application examples
1. Simple readout of the actual status
2. Setting of a uniform target status
3. Handling of support and service cases
1. Simple readout of the actual status
Regardless of whether an IPC is installed locally or is located somewhere at the other end of the world, as soon as the IPC
is integrated via LAN, all parameters can be read out using the configuration and diagnostic interface for Beckhoff IPCs.
Advantage: if the documentation is incomplete or missing, all information on the installed hardware and software versions
can be read out via the configuration and diagnostic interface. If a program error only occurs from a certain software release
onwards, for example, it is possible to determine which plants require service without telephone calls and travel expenses.
The procedure follows the same principle for all fixed data (serial numbers, licence key etc.), since transparent information is
available via the configuration and diagnostic interface.

Typical examples for readout are screen resolution, IP addresses, querying the MAC-ID for the IP protection of the software,
memory usage of the software, also remotely, etc.
