Local Slave / Connection Diagnostics
Original instructions
About us
Introduction
Use the Local Slave Diagnostic page and the Connection Diagnostic page to display the I/O status and production/consumption information for a selected local slave or connection.
NOTE: Before you can open the diagnostics page, make the connection between the DTM for the target communication module and the physical module.
Open the Page
Access the diagnostics information:
Step
Action
1
In the DTM Browser, find the name that is assigned to your Ethernet communications module.
2
Right-click on the module name.
3
Scroll to Device menu → Diagnosis.
4
In the left pane of the Diagnosis window, select the communication module node.
5
Select the Local Slave Diagnostic tab or the Connection Diagnostic tab to open that page.
Data Display
Use the Refresh Every 500ms checkbox to display the static or dynamic data:
Checkbox
Description
Selected
  • Display data that is dynamically updated every 500 ms.
  • Increment the number at the top of the table each time data is refreshed.
De-selected
  • Display static data.
  • Do not increment the number at the top of the table. That number now represents a constant value.

Increments each time a frame is not sent by missing resources or is impossible to send.
Time-Out
Increments each time a connection times out.
Refused
Increments when connection is refused by the remote station.
Production
Increments each time a message is produced.
Consumption
Increments each time a message is consumed.
Production Byte
Total of produced messages, in bytes, since the communication module was last reset.
Consumption Byte
Total of consumed messages, in bytes, since the communication module was last reset.
Theoretical Packets per second
