Diagnostics Features
|
|
PAC Application
|
Some module diagnostics (I/O connection health, redundancy status, etc.) are available through the PAC application and are updated every CPU cycle.
|
Some module diagnostics (I/O connection, extended health, redundancy status, FDR server, etc.) are available to Modbus clients that read the local Modbus server area with Modbus function code 3 when the unit ID is set to 100 or through Modbus function code 8/21, 8/22, or 43/14.
|
|
Some module diagnostics (Ethernet interface, redundancy, Ethernet scanner, etc.) are available through CIP objects that EtherNet/IP devices such as SCADA or HMI can read.
|
|
Ethernet Ports
|
You can diagnose network issues by examining packets to and from Ethernet ports when the service port is configured for port mirroring.
|
Embedded web pages provide diagnostics data through a web browser.
|
Explicit Messaging: With the DATA_EXCH function block, the BMENOC0321 control network module supports explicit messaging through the EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP protocols.
|
Firmware Upgrade: The firmware upgrade service allows the field upgrade of this module firmware using the Automation Device Maintenance or Unity Loader tool.
|
Features in Control Expert:
You can enable and disable these Ethernet services in Control Expert.
|
Address Server (address and operation parameters)
|
SNMP (agent)
|
|
RSTP (cable redundancy)
|
|
Network Time Service (NTP server)
|
|
QoS (DSCP tagging)
|
|
Service Port (control network connections)
|
|
IP Forwarding (network transparency): The module uses the IP forwarding service to separate Ethernet traffic between the control network, the device network, and the embedded network.
|
|
Email (SMTP): The simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) provides mechanisms that allow controller-based projects to report alarms or events.
