Description: Manages Siemens industrial automation system components including PLC modules, I/O racks, and controller health status.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is AUTOMATION-SYSTEM-MIB?

AUTOMATION-SYSTEM-MIB is a Siemens AG proprietary MIB (built on AUTOMATION-SMI/AUTOMATION-TC) defining generic management objects for Siemens Industrial Automation (IA) products. Its objects cover manufacturer/order/serial number, hardware/software revision and date, a revision counter, function/location tags, geographic latitude/longitude/height, time-zone offset, software user/date, operational/application state, a system-restart action, power-up count, a reset-counters action, config ID/user/date, and system IP address. As a status/configuration MIB it lets an administrator confirm identity, firmware revision, and operational state of a Siemens industrial-automation device. It is deployed on Siemens AG industrial automation (IA) equipment. Engineers can download the AUTOMATION-SYSTEM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in AUTOMATION-SYSTEM-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • Siemens AG industrial automation (IA) equipment

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks automationOperState and automationSwRevision to confirm a Siemens industrial-automation device's operational state and firmware version.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using automationRevisionCounter OID:

Select a Siemens industrial automation equipment (PLCs, controllers, industrial switches) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type automationRevisionCounter into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. This value will be incremented every time one of the other values of automationIM0Group or automationIM1Group (cp. conformance statements) changes. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
