Module Information in the DTM

Access the Information

View the Module Information function in the Control Expert :

Step	Action
1	Access the DTM configuration for your module.
2	In the CONFIGURATION menu, expand (+) the General sub-menu.
3	Select Module Information.

Description

The Module Information page shows read-only information:

IP ADDRESS INFORMATION: These fields contain the IP parameters for the module.
MEMORY STATUS: These bar graphs indicate the space that is consumed and available for the exchange of implicit messages. The Input and Output graphs are presented from the perspective of the CPU:
- Input: The green arrow indicates the number of bytes that are used for implicit messages from the module to the CPU.
- Output: The green arrow indicates the number of bytes that are used for implicit messages from the CPU to the module.
NOTE: Use the memory status information as a guide for future configuration changes. (The memory status is a byproduct of the point configuration.)

Limitations

Monitor the consumed implicit resources while respecting the total size of input and output types as follows:

Type	Consumption
Input	8 K bytes
Output	8 K bytes
total:	16 K bytes

NOTE: For details, refer to the description of the I/O data exchange with the CPU.

DTM

(device type manager) A DTM is a device driver running on the host PC. It provides a unified structure for accessing device parameters, configuring and operating the devices, and troubleshooting devices. DTMs can range from a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for setting device parameters to a highly sophisticated application capable of performing complex real-time calculations for diagnosis and maintenance purposes. In the context of a DTM, a device can be a communications module or a remote device on the network.
