PRT CTRL Integrated Controller Reference Manual

Each module will be programmed with the configuration information and then reset
so that the information is loaded in to the module. The keypad that is currently
being used will eventually be reset and the display will inform the user that this is
taking place.
Module Network Statistics
The module network logs an abundant number of statistics that can be used for fault
diagnostics and network performance analysis. The information below may be requested by
support staff to help diagnose potential problems. To select the network statistics menu select
[MENU, 4, 8, 1, 5] the following display explains the screen information and actions that are
performed.
• When the menu item is selected the first statistics will be displayed. To move to
the next display press [], to cancel press the [MENU] key. The first screen will
show the network receive and transmit octet count.
*Net Stats*
R:34620 T:78265
R = Received number of octets (8 Bit communication bytes)
T = Transmitted number of octets (8 Bit communication bytes)
• Pressing the [] key will display the next statistics screen showing the overrun and
break error counts.
*Net Stats*
O:00000 B:00003
O = Overrun errors occur when the system is heavily loaded and are a normal part
of operation. However the number of overrun errors should not be large in
comparison to receive and transmit numbers.
B = Break detect errors occur when the system detects that a device has held the
line in a locked state for longer than the allowable time. This is also part of normal
operation.
• Pressing the [] key will display the next statistics screen showing the parity and
framing error counts.
*Net Stats*
Z:00000 F:00027
Z = Parity errors should not normally occur during normal operation however they
may occur and do not affect the system.
F = Framing errors will occur during normal operation and do not affect the
performance of the system or how the system operates.
• Pressing the [] key will display the next statistics screen showing the process
related communication get and post functions. These relate to internal tasks that
pass the information on the module network to other parts of the Protégé
Operating System.
