Publication 1785-UM012D-EN-P - July 2005

Communicating with Remote I/O 6-23

Monitoring messages

Status Field Location Description

Messages Tab (Messages = SDA messages + SDN messages)

Messages sent word 1 Displays the number of messages sent by the channel.

Messages sent with error word 3 Displays the number of messages containing errors sent by the channel.

Messages received word 0 Displays the number of error-free messages received by the channel.

Messages received with

error

word2 Displays the number of messages containing errors received by the channel (such as bad CRC).

Messages unable to receive word 4 Displays the number of messages received with protocol-related problems (such as a bad

block-transfer status byte with both read and write bits set).
