Generic Slave Device DTM
Section 3-4
Extended Diagnostics
Tab
The Extended Diagnostic tab contains any extended diagnostics reported by
the slave station. The figure below shows an example of Extended diagnos-
tics.
The first row of the Extended diagnostics window contains the raw data as
received from the slave station. Depending on the GSD file, it may provide
text strings for each Extended diagnostics events entry, i.e. if the event occurs
and the diagnostics information is received by the DTM, it can display a text
string in stead of only the raw bytes. This makes troubleshooting the device
easier.
If the strings are not supported, the user must determine the event from the
raw data bytes.
Static diagnostics
When set, the slave station reports static diagnostics, i.e. the error event is serious enough
that the diagnostics is continuously reported. No data exchange will be performed.
Re-parameterization
requested
When set, the slave indicates that it requires a new parameter setting. The slave station is
not in Data_Exchange with the Master Unit. The indicator remains ON as long as the slave
device has not been parameterized successfully.
Extended diagnostics
overflow
The slave device has more diagnostics to report than it can fit in to its transmission buffer.
Diagnostics information is being lost.
