Teleservice Adapter - Remote Servicing of Machines and Plants
All Over the World
In an increasing number of cases, machines
and equipment are operated in places that are far removed
from the site where they were manufactured.
Nevertheless, all machine manufacturers are
still obliged to provide service facilities in the event of
a fault. The resulting costs can be high, particularly in
the warranty period. TeleService helps you to reduce the risk
significantly.
The new Teleservice Adapter II from Siemens
Automation and Drives (A&D) supports the economical servicing
of machines and plants from a remote location.
With the compact 40 millimeter format of
a Simatic-S7-300 module, the Adapter is simply mounted on
a DIN rail or S7 channel, for instance in the control cabinet
next to a controller. The latter already incorporates either
an analog modem or an ISDN modem. External modems such as
GSM radio modems are connected to the serial interface.
The new product reduces expensive on-site
service calls, particularly for export-oriented plant and
machine constructors. Diagnostics can be performed, values
set and programs and data transferred over the telephone lines
from anywhere in the world. Safety precautions provide protection
against unauthorized access to the plant.
The Teleservice Adapter is linked to a Simatic
programmable controller, for example to a Simatic S7, over
MPI, PPI or Profibus-DP interface. All devices in the automation
network, for example the nodes interfaced to Ethernet/Profinet,
are reached for teleservicing via this controller.
The Teleservice Adapter is assigned parameters
and programmed over the USB interface, with power coming from
the MPI interface or a 24 volt external source. The devices
can also be programmed over the USB interface. The new version
of the Simatic Teleservice software, V6.0, is used to interface
the programming device to a plant as well as to manage remote
connections to several plants.
