Abstract

A diagnostic method for diagnosing post-manufacture modular add-on components coupled to a system at least includes: a) dynamically retrieving control system topology information not stored at the time of manufacture pertaining to a module chosen for a system graphical display; b) via each module, generating diagnostic information about the components of a module; c) dynamically retrieving module diagnostic information pertaining to a module chosen for a system graphical display; d) hierarchically displaying the component levels of the module chosen for graphical display; e) providing a link between the component levels; and f) indicating the diagnostic status of a displayed component level.

Claims (18)

1. A diagnostic method for performing diagnostics in a system adapted to receive modular components comprising:
a) graphically displaying a hierarchical representation of system components and modular add-on components;
b) detecting the modular components coupled to the system;
c) dynamically requesting and receiving the electrical control topology and fault status of each coupled modular component; and d) dynamically integrating the electrical control topology and fault status of each coupled modular component into the display of a).
2. A diagnostic method for diagnosing post-manufacture modular add-on components coupled to a system, said method comprising:
a) dynamically retrieving control system topology information not stored at the time of manufacture pertaining to a module chosen for a system graphical display;
b) via each module, generating diagnostic information about the components of a module;
c) dynamically retrieving module diagnostic information pertaining to a module chosen for a system graphical display;

d) hierarchically displaying the component levels of the module chosen for graphical display;
e) providing a link between the component levels; and f) indicating the diagnostic status of a displayed component level.
3. The method of Claim 1, wherein a fault condition in a component of a module is indicated in the highest hierarchical level pertaining to the module.
4. The method of Claim 1, wherein for all levels lower than the highest level, all components of a level are controlled by the immediate highest level.
5. The method of Claim 1, wherein a lower level is displayed by activating a pointer on the immediately higher level.
6. The method of Claim 1, further comprising:
maintaining a count of each time the fault status of a component in a module changes; and displaying said count.
7. The method of Claim 1, further comprising:
automatically performing c) and d) at predefined intervals.
8. The method of Claim 1, wherein a fault condition in a component of a module is indicated by color-coded indicia in the highest hierarchical level pertaining to the module.
9. The method of Claim 1, wherein said system is an image reproduction sys-tem.
10. The method of Claim 1, wherein said system comprises the print engine of an image reproduction machine.
11. The method of Claim 2, wherein a fault condition in a component of a module is indicated in the highest hierarchical level pertaining to the module.
12. The method of Claim 2, wherein for all levels lower than the highest level, all components of a level are controlled by the immediate highest level.
13. The method of Claim 2, wherein a lower level is displayed by activating a pointer on the immediately higher level.
14. The method of Claim 2, further comprising:
maintaining a count of each time the fault status of a component in a module changes; and displaying said count.
15. The method of Claim 2, further comprising:
automatically performing a) and f) at predefined intervals.
16. The method of Claim 2, wherein a fault condition in a component of a module is indicated by color-coded indicia in the highest hierarchical level pertaining to the module.
17. The method of Claim 2, wherein said system is an image reproduction sys-tem.
18. The method of Claim 2, wherein said system comprises the print engine of an image reproduction machine.
