Local Slave / Connection Diagnostics
Original instructions
About us
Introduction
Use the Local Slave Diagnostic page and the Connection Diagnostic page to display I/O status and production/consumption information for selected local slave or connection.
Use the Refresh Every 500ms checkbox to display static or dynamic data, as follows:
When the checkbox is...
This page...
Selected
  • Displays data that is dynamically updated every 500 ms, and
  • Increments the number at the top of the table each time data is refreshed
De-selected
  • Displays static data, and
  • Does not Increment the number at the top of the table, which instead displays a constant value
NOTE: Before you can open the Diagnostic window, you first must connect the communication module or remote device DTM to the physical module or device. To do this, select the appropriate node in the DTM Browser, then select Edit → Connect.
To open this page:
Step
Action
1
In the DTM Browser, select the communication module and click the right mouse button. A pop-up menu opens.
2
In the menu, select Device menu → Diagnostic.
3
In the left pane of the Diagnostic window, click on one of the following:
  • the communication module node, or
  • a connection node
4
Depending upon your selection in step 3, above, click on either the Local Slave Diagnostic tab or the Connection Diagnostic tab to open that page.
Local Slave / Connection Diagnostic Parameters
This page displays the following diagnostic parameters for the selected local slave or connection:
Parameter
