January 2008

Log Files

AN-X maintains various logs to record diagnostic and error messages.
Use the Log Files menu in the web interface to view these logs.

System Error Log

The System Error log records errors that occur during AN-X operation.
This log is normally empty.

System Info Log

The System Info Log records informational messages during startup and
normal operation.

AN-X-PBSLV Bridging Log

The AN-X-PBSLV Bridging Log records messages from the application
that is responsible for direct AN-X to AN-X communication.

These messages include normal startup messages, messages about
problems with the configuration file, and runtime errors such as timeouts.

If the log overflows, AN-X closes the log file (xanxpbsd.0) and opens a
second log file (xanxpbsd.1) and continues to alternate between the two
log files as each one fills up. Use View All Logs to view both log files.

Ethernet/IP Log

The Ethernet/IP Log records messages from the application that is
responsible for scheduled communication with a ControlLogix processor
and unscheduled communication with DDE and OPC servers.

These messages include normal startup messages, messages about
problems with the configuration file, and runtime errors such as timeouts.

If there are problems with scheduled connections to the AN-X or with
unscheduled messages to the AN-X, this log may provide further
information on the cause of the problem.

If the log overflows, AN-X closes the log file (enetip.0) and opens a
second log file (enetip.1.1) and continues to alternate between the two
log files as each one fills up. Use View All Logs to view both log files.

View All Logs

Use View All Logs to list and view all the AN-X logs. To view a log
file, double click on the file name.

Administration Menu

The Administration Menu is used to set the AN-X IP address and to view
and edit files on AN-X. The file edit function is password protected and
is used only for AN-X technical support.
