  On the control system hardware platform for the Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) more than half use CompactPCI crates. If a crate malfunctions, the internal crate card will not operate properly affecting accelerator operation. If the crate, however, could provide instant remote operational information, an opportunity exists to maintain or replace it in advance. Therefore, a diagnostic tool was developed to analyse and diagnose the condition of the crates. When abnormal operations occur, an alarm can be issued for early inspection and maintenance. This way it is possible to prevent the EPICS IOC from crashing by CompactPCI crates, which improves the reliability of accelerator operation. A detailed system architecture, implementation and progress will be discussed in this report.
