Monitor Stats Bus Statistics
Menu Item
X This menu item provides overall
bus statistical information.
Monitor LoopTime Loop Time X Indicates how much time passes
between the periods when the
device allows initiation of
messages on the network. This
time is a strong indicator of
network performance and is
associated strongly with the
amount of traffic or errors on the
network. Shorter times indicate a
more responsive network. Longer
times indicate an increasingly busy
and slow network.
Monitor PcktErrs Packet Errors X Counts errors detected in the data
portion of data frames sent to the
device. Many data frames are used
only for protocol control and do
not contain a data portion, and
thus cannot have Data CRC Errors.
The Header CRC Errors check must
be successful before the device
attempts a Data CRC check. This
attribute supplies an error count
for the Bus Health Index attribute.
Some possible reasons are bus
exposure to noise or poor wiring.
