6.2 Verify Master Communications
The Modbus Master commands are setup, now it is time to verify that these
commands are working correctly.
Within the MVI56-MCM module, there are a couple of ways of checking to see if
the commands that have been configured in the previous location are working
correctly.
The most common, and detailed method of checking the communications is
using the MCM.CONFIG.PortX.CmdErrPtr parameter. This parameter will tell you
the individual status of each command that is issued by the module. Another
method is by checking the MCM.STATUS.PrtXErrs location for total commands
issued, responses received, errors, and so on.
