9.3 SIE Diagnostics
The best way to troubleshoot the SIE driver is to use ProSoft Configuration
Builder to access the diagnostic capabilities of the gateway through the Ethernet
debug port. For instructions on how to access Diagnostics, see Using
Diagnostics in ProSoft Configuration Builder (page 36).
9.3.1 Client Command Errors
Each SIE Client has an associated status data area located in the gateway’s
upper memory. The Data Map functionality of the gateway can be used to map
this data into the normal user data range of the gateway’s database. See Using
the CommonNet Data Map (page 25).
The following table lists the starting addresses in upper memory where the status
data for each Client can be found.
Gateway Starting Register for Status Data
The following table describes the content of each Client’s status data area.

Command List Errors (16 per Client)
For every command that has an error, the gateway automatically sets the poll
delay parameter to 30 seconds. This instructs the gateway to wait 30 seconds
before it attempts to issue the command again.
