Table 7.2 NS1 + NS2: Network Status (one per port)
Check: Link Status
The status of the Ethernet link cannot be directly identified by means of the LEDs, if no CIP connection is established.
Use 12-10 Link Status to verify presents of the link.
Use 12-11 Link Duration to verify that the link is steady present.
The parameter will show the duration of the present link, and preset to 00:00:00:00 if the link is broken.
Check: Cabling
In rare cases of cabling mis-configuration, the option might show the presents of a link, but no communication is running.
Exchange the cable in doubt.
Check: IP Address
Verify that the option has a valid IP address (please refer to section: IP Settings) in 12-01 IP Address. If the option has
identified a duplicate IP Address NS LEDs will light steady red. If the option is set up for BOOTP or DHCP, verify that a
BOOTP or DHCP server is connected in 12-04 DHCP Server. If no server is connected, the parameter will show:
000.000.000.000.
7.1.2 Alarm Word and Warning Word
Alarm word and warning word are shown in the display in Hex format. If there is more than one warning or alarm, a sum of
all warnings or alarms will be shown. Warning word and alarm word are displayed in 16-90 Alarm Word to 16-95 Ext. Status
