7.2.3 Errors
The Errors tab shows the current status of the I/O modules, operator panel, and
OptiLogic RTUs connected to the controller, as well as the total number of
communications errors encountered by each device since the current project was
started.
Status is the current operating condition of the given module. Errors is the
current “streak of consecutive errors. Peak is the longest streak encountered
since the project was started.
Errors on a module or panel are indicative of serial communication errors on the
controller’s motherboard. A single error or two may be encountered during
initialization. Continuous errors may be indicative of a hardware defect or a
poorly seated connection.
Errors on an RTU are more likely an indication of problems in the Ethernet
network – either a bad network connection or excessive network load.
