■ Overview
Remote diagnosis for PCU 50/PCU 20 and Handheld
Terminal HT 6
With the remote diagnosis host, you have the opportunity to
maintain your machine park remotely from a central service point.
Remote maintenance encompasses a complete set of remote
operation functions from every user interface as well as the
exchange of files between the systems.
■ Function
• Remote control
• Remote monitoring
• File transfer incl. file synchronization (not with HT 6)
• Effective security concept to prevent unauthorized access
(login and password, operator approval or callback to a
previously defined connection)
Host remote diagnostics is based on ReachOut and is available
for SINUMERIK 840D powerline with PCU 50 (Windows NT only).
RCS host/viewer remote diagnostics can no longer be used
under Windows 2000/XP.
The host remote diagnostics software for the HT 6 handheld
terminal is part of the scope of delivery of the system software
and can be ordered for each control as an option.
The remote diagnostics viewer software for PC/PG must be
ordered as viewer software for installation on a service PC.
The two viewer software versions, RCS Viewer and the Remote
Diagnostics Viewer for PC/PG, are not compatible, but can be
installed in parallel on one service PC.

PCU 50 and PCU 70 can be interfaced via a modem-modem
connection, via Ethernet in local networks (LANs) or wide area
networks (WANs), or via the Internet.
The PCU 20 and the HT 6 handheld terminal are normally interfaced
via a modem with the public telephone network.
A direct connection between PC and one of the operator components
can also be established using a null modem cable.
Hardware requirements for establishment of a connection:
• Spare slot in the PCU 20 for a PCMCIA card
• One vacant serial port (COM port) for modem-modem connections
• One Ethernet network interface connection for network connections
Software requirements:
Remote diagnosis host is available under PCU 50 up to 6.2.
The remote diagnosis viewer software executes under
Windows 9.x/NT4.0.
All generally available IBM AT or 100% compatible PCs with
DOS 6.0 or Windows 3.11/95/98/NT4.0 as the operating system
can be used as service PC for installing the remote diagnostics
viewer software for PC/PG.
