Example Logs

Example Packet Logs

Two example logs are included with the LonScanner software. One of the

example log files is taken from a channel without any names defined. The second

example log file is taken from a channel that has imported a set of names from an

LNS database.

Sample 1: Channel without Assigned Names

The first example log file is shown in Figure 42. There are no names defined for

this log file. This example shows how you can use a log file to find the log entry

for a request message, find the log entry for the response to the request, and

finally, how you can find the acknowledgement for the response.

Figure 42. Example Log File One – Packet 12 Selected

In Figure 42, packet 12 is selected in the Packet Log. In this example, the

formats for the Num and the Time fields have been changed from their defaults.

Based on the data fields in the Packet Log, packet 12 is from a device with

subnet/node address 1/1 (Source field) that sent a Network Variable Fetch

request message to a device with subnet/node address 1/2 (Destination field).

From the information in the Packet Detail pane, you can determine that the

request message code is 0x73. For a complete list of network diagnostic

messages, see the

ISO/IEC 14908-1 Control Network Protocol Specification.

A network variable fetch retrieves the value of a network variable from a device

by its index in the device. Thus, a fetch can be used to poll the value of a network
