Legal notes
Warning concept
This manual contains information which you must observe in order to ensure your own personal safety, as well as
to avoid material damage. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety
alert symbol, notices referring only to equipment damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices are graded
according to the degree of danger as shown below.
DANGER
Indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
Indicates that death or severe personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
with a triangular safety alert, indicates that slight personal injury may result if proper precautions are not
taken.
CAUTION
without triangular safety alert means that there can be damage to property if the corresponding safety
measures are not followed.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into
account.
If more than one level of danger is simultaneously applicable, the warning notice for the highest level is used. If a
warning notice is used with the safety alert symbol to warn against injury, this same notice may also include a
warning regarding property damage.

Target group
This publication is intended for project engineers, programmers, technologists (of
machine manufacturers), and system startup engineers (of systems/machines).
Benefits

with and can select them. It provides the target group with the information required
to implement the functions.
Utilization phase: Planning and configuration phase, implementation phase, setup
and commissioning phase
Standard version
Extensions or changes made by the machine manufacturer are documented by the
machine manufacturer.
Other functions not described in this documentation might be executable in the
control. This does not, however, represent an obligation to supply such functions
with a new control or when servicing.
Further, for the sake of simplicity, this documentation does not contain all detailed
information about all types of the product and cannot cover every conceivable case
of installation, operation or maintenance.

1.2 Overview of functions
What are ePS Network Services?
The ePS Network Services support machine tool manufacturers and manufacturing
companies with maintenance and services. This is carried out using software ser-
vices that are available on a CNC, S7 control, IPC or standard PC.
This requires both a control on the machine that complies with the specifications,
and Internet access.
The ePS Network Services include:
Remote access
Remote access to the control is performed via a secure Internet infrastructure.
This service permits remote access to the control.
Desktop Control
File Transfer
Chat
Video
Control monitor services
Recording of events in a history and documentation of the current status of the
control at this point. This allows the status of the device to be analyzed and com-
pared with earlier states should a fault occur.
The current status of the machine is documented using the following events and
data:
Alarms, PLC events, time intervals, combinations of machine signals
Limit value violation and time delay violation from condition monitoring
Series of measurements/tests and variable monitors
Manual help request by the machine operator in the event of faults
HMI action log, machine data, NC status data
PLC trace, PLC data blocks
Certain files (e.g. log files) of the control
Condition monitoring services
Measurement and documentation of the current machine status on the basis of
predefined, standardized tests and continuous recording of status characteristics
(traverse path, traverse time and traverse operations for one axis). The test pa-
rameters can be defined centrally and configured with appropriate warning limits.
Using series of measurements, it is also possible to identify trends and apply them
as a basis for optimizing maintenance and service activities.

1.2 Overview of functions

ePS Network Services, Function Manual (FH) - 03/2012 1-11
The machine operator can then carry out these predefined tests quickly and easily,
and without additional test equipment.
The following tests and monitors are available:
Circularity test
Equability test
Universal axis test
Variable monitor (NC variables, PLC variable,s freely addressable variables)
Data services
Save the current control archives (NCK and PLC archives) on the ePS Server. In
the event of faults, they can be reimported into the control in a controlled manner
and used as reference for comparisons of control monitors.
Workflow services
Triggering of service and maintenance processes by notification via media that are
internal and external to the system (SMS, e-mail, service cases). Planning,
monitoring, and documentation of maintenance activities on the machine.
Maintenance schedules support you in the following tasks:
Load- and consumption-based predictive maintenance (see Section: Creating
maintenance schedules and organizational tasks)
Automated triggering of operating sequences when faults are detected (see:
Maintenance schedules, maintenance jobs, fault help requests, and service
cases)
Planning condition monitors in terms of dates and content, and monitoring
their processing (see: Maintenance schedules, maintenance jobs and control
monitors)
The Workflow Services can respond to all event sources of the Control Monitor
Services and Condition Monitoring Services.
Administration services
Functions for the administration of the system:
Creation and administration of machines
Creation and administration of users
Assignment of access rights for external organizations
Access to use data / invoices

You can log in using:
Password
Password/certificate
Certificate
This must be specified when a new user logs in or must be subsequently changed
for existing users:
Fig. 1-2: Necessary user data
An e-mail address must be entered when logging in using the certificate.
If you only have access to an organization on a server, after the PKI login, you are
immediately at the page Machine information – just the same as when logging in
using a password.
If you have access in several organizations, then you reach an intermediate page,
where one of the possible organizations can be selected.

Overview
The functions of the ePS Network Services are divided into five main categories
which can be reached via tabs. The "Machine information" and "Set up functions"
tabs always apply to the selected machine.
Note
The availability of each function to the machine operator in each of the various
roles is described in the Appendix.
Please see the descriptions in each section for details of the functions.
