To view the tag, from the Controller, double click the Controller Tags folder in

the Controller Organizer.

Check EtherNet/IP Statistics

The SoftLogix controller installs with an EtherNet/IP statistics utility that

displays different counters for the EtherNet/IP module.

Complete these steps to display the statistics.

1. Choose the EtherNet/IP Statistics Utility from the folder where you

installed the SoftLogix controller.
