6Operating Manual, 05/2021, A5E50981422-AA
Introduction
1
Even in their basic versions, SIMATIC Industry PCs come with optional monitoring functions.
When used in combination with the appropriate software, the following functions for
displaying, monitoring and controlling are available:
•Temperature monitoring (over-temperature, under-temperature or cable break at a
temperature sensor)
•Fan monitoring (fan speed too low, fan failure, or a break in a tachometer line)
•Monitoring of the battery level
•Monitoring of hard disks with S.M.A.R.T functionality even in a RAID system
•Watchdog (hardware or software reset of the computer)
•Operating hours meter (information on the cumulative run time)
With the SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor software, you can use these functions for local and remote
monitoring. You can use the DiagMonitor Management Explorer application for general
monitoring or DiagMonitor Alarm Manager for notification of individual alarms.
This documentation describes the functionality of SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor software.

4.3 Industrial Security
Industrial Security
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected
to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary
and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation)
are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please
visit (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are
available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to
cyber threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS
Feed under (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/).
Disclaimer for third-party software updates
This product includes third-party software. Siemens AG only provides a warranty for
updates/patches of the third-party software, if these have been distributed as part of a
Siemens software update service contract or officially released by Siemens AG. Otherwise,
updates/patches are undertaken at your own risk. You can find more information about our
Software Update Service offer on the Internet at Software Update Service
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109759444).
Notes on protecting administrator accounts
A user with administrator privileges has extensive access and manipulation options in the
system.
Therefore, ensure there are adequate safeguards for protecting the administrator accounts to
prevent unauthorized changes. To do this, use secure passwords and a standard user account
for normal operation. Other measures, such as the use of security policies, should be applied
as needed.

The voltage of a backup battery (CMOS), a redundant power supply (device-dependent) or an
uninterruptible power supply (device-dependent) can be monitored.
The backup battery voltage is monitored to establish whether it is ok, critical or faulty.
Note
Backup battery (CMOS)
Replace the backup battery immediately if the sensor indicates a critical or faulty status.
Redundant power supply monitoring checks that both power inputs are enabled and the
power supply unit fan is operating.
With an uninterruptible power supply, monitoring checks whether the current input is active.
Note
Alarms
If the voltage falls below t
he indicated minimum value, the sensor status will indicate this.
See Display of Alarms (Page 22)
6.1.8 "Hard disk" Group
The "Hard Disk" group indicates the status of the existing hard disks (device-dependent). The
following hard disks are supported:
•SATA hard disks
•CompactFlash cards
•CFast cards
•SAS hard disks
•USB hard disks or USB sticks
•Hard disks for an INTEL RAID adapter or Adaptec RAID adapter
The properties for each drive indicate if the drive is S.M.A.R.T. capable and/or a RAID drive. If
this is the case, then the drive symbol is displayed actively with a symbolic LED. The type,
serial number, and firmware version of the drive is displayed in the respective text box.
Alarms
If a drive reports a SMART or RAID error, the status of the drive changes (see Display of Alarms
(Page 22)).
