Communicating with Devices on a DH+ Link 9-9

Transmit confirm

24

Number of SDA messages successfully sent to and acknowledged by the addressed station

Transmit NAK full

30

Number of times the station received a NAK to a message because the destination station was
full

This indicates that messages are being sent to the receiving station faster than the PLC-5
controller can process them. Most likely, more than one station on the DH+ link is sending
messages to the same station. Check to see that you are:

not scheduling unnecessary traffic (e.g., your are sending continuous messages when you only
need updates once per second)

implementing report-by-exception so that data is sent only if it is new data

Transmit NAK misc.

25

Number of incoming SDA messages that were NAKed due to reasons other than the NAKed full
and NAKed inactive counters (e.g., a NAK due to a bad CRC)

Transmit not ACKed

27

Number of SDA messages that were sent but were not ACKed by the receiving station

The following could have occurred:

message could have been NAKed

an invalid ACK was returned

nothing was returned

This counter can indicate:

a noise or a cabling problem

the receiving station has been removed from the link

the receiving station cannot communicate

Transmit NAKed SAP

31

Number of SDA messages that were successfully sent to but were NAKed by the addressed
station because the SAP specified in the message was illegal

This counter should always be 0.
