Fault reporting systems provide you with the necessary overview of the current status of your system. They provide information that ensures the system is safely controlled in all operating and error states. Thanks to increased system transparency, on-site maintenance work to clear faults is optimized.
The infobox design variants can be ordered with 8, 16, 24, or 40 possible messages. The fault reporting system is specifically designed for the requirements for processing and displaying messages. As an option, the data can be forwarded to higher-level control rooms using common communication protocols such as IEC 60870-5-104 and IEC 61850.
The infobox has an individually configurable number of signal inputs; signaling is via LED and horn. Ethernet and serial interfaces are used for communication via IEC protocols. As an option, the devices with a compact design can be configured with integrated message relaying.
✔ Intuitive configuration and parameterization of alarm and status messages
✔ Flexible visual and audible messages locally on the device
✔ Easy integration into the automation environment with the use of standardized communication protocols
✔ Optimum installation in control cabinet structures with standardized hardware designs
infobox Basic fault signaling system
The infobox Basic processes system signals and visualizes the messages locally on the device front. As an option, the internally installed horn or other locally connected sirens or lighting can be used for signaling, in addition to the LED display.
The fault signaling system can be parameterized quickly and easily via the DIP switches installed on the rear. Marking strips can be created and printed in just a few steps using the infobox ENGINEER software.
infobox COM fault signaling system
The Industry 4.0-capable infobox COM fault signaling system features the same scope of functions for signaling local messages. Moreover, there is also the option of communicating information to a higher-level control room and to receive protocol-based information from the field level. Here, data is transmitted via standardized communication protocols. With this function, several devices can also be combined to create a larger fault signaling system.
Despite the comprehensive configuration options, the infobox ENGINEER software enables easy and time-saving commissioning.

infobox ENGINEER parameterization software
The infobox ENGINEER parameterization software is primarily used to set up the infobox COM. Along with other functions, the message markings are specified and printed in the software. The print templates can of course also be used for the infobox Basic.
Download the portable software free of charge and gain an initial impression – even without a test device.
All the software functions can be used without installing the actual software. For a detailed description, please refer to the digital user manual within the software itself.
