Diagnostics Software

The diagnostics software quickly detects and describes faults in standard ASi networks and in ASi safety networks. The user-friendly diagnostics software is mainly used for commissioning and maintenance intervals and provides concrete error information and direct suggestions for solutions. The information and solutions are clearly presented in the software mask and provide even inexperienced ASi users with direct "help for self-help" in the event of errors occurring during the test.

PDF Test Report Sent to Bihl+Wiedemann Support at the Touch of a Button

During the acceptance measurement, a detailed test report is automatically generated as a PDF. This ensures that the test result is accurately documented, and can be forwarded to the Bihl+Wiedemann Support team at the touch of a button if additional help is required.

Diagnostics Software – Included in All Versions of the Bihl+Wiedemann Suites

The diagnostics software is included in the Bihl+Wiedemann Suite (BW2902, BW4723) and in the Bihl+Wiedemann Safety Suite (BW2916, BW3065).

Function Range of the Diagnostic Software

The video illustrates the function range of the diagnostics software. It includes: test runs, release measurement of an error-free system, measurement/control measurement of a running system, predictive maintenance (early detection of possible problems), system analysis in the event of an error and the renewed release measurement after the error has been rectified. You can examine standard ASi networks, ASi-3 and ASi-5, ASi Safety at Work and Safe Link. Your advantages: you do not need any additional hardware. Save time and money by avoiding errors and receive both concrete error information and direct suggestions for solutions.

Circular buffer facilitates troubleshooting

Our new circular buffer is especially helpful when it comes to sporadically occurring errors. With it you can now for the first time take continuous measurements from the past 24 hours (or fewer) over a period of up to a week.

Advantages of Diagnostics Software

  • Saves time and cost by preventing errors and speeding up fault elimination
  • Specific information and suggested remedies for numerous types of errors
  • Troubleshoot standard ASi networks plus ASi Safety at Work including Safe Link
  • "Help for self-help” even for inexperienced ASi users
  • Circular buffer enables continuous tests and recording of the most current data
  • Test report including documentation of the ASi installation
  • PDF Test Report Sent to Bihl+Wiedemann Support at the Touch of a Button

Safety Monitor Simulator

Bihl+Wiedemann's Safety Suite includes the safety monitor simulator. It enables the testing of existing ASIMON360 configurations on simulated hardware.
