the Devices window depicts the state of connections for each device using a:
-
green icon, indicating all connections are functioning

gray icon, indicating a rack optimized module connection
-
a diagnostic tab is added to the properties window for each EtherNet/IP device and I/O module displaying:
-
each connection’s status, information, and performance data, and
-
the value of each input and output
