TROUBLESHOOTING
[Example]
If a line down occurs in system A during access when PX Developer (monitoring
tools) is connected to that system, and the connection target is specified as
system A, communication is continued with system A via system B.
POINT
Communication via a tracking cable is carried out when the route system's power
supply is on, and the tracking cable is connected properly.
Communication via a tracking cable is not carried out in the following cases.
• When the route system's power supply is off
• When the route CPU module is reset
• When a watchdog timer error occurs in the route CPU module
• When the connected system's power supply is off
• When the connected CPU module is reset
• When a watchdog timer error occurs in the connected CPU module
• When the tracking cable is not connected or broken.
