6-4 Error Diagnosis and Debugging
In runtime mode, ProcessLinx supports the following debug options:
Table 6.B ProcessLinx Debug Options
Options Description
Mode
(Debug Level)
• Sets the debug mode of the ProcessLinx.
• The higher the debug level the more messages will be printed to
the screen. To turn all debug messages off set the MODE to OFF.
Clear Messages
• Clears all messages in the message pane window.
• This should be done from time to time since the message pane
window simply uses a buffer which keeps growing as new
messages appear. The buffer size is limited only by the amount of
memory available on the machine. It is not a circular buffer.
• To clear all messages, click
the toolbar.
• If you wish to not worry about this then deselect the Show Events,
the Show Errors and the Show Send and no messages will appear
in this window.
Show Events
• Enables ProcessLinx to print out all event messages to the
message log window (or file).
• A check mark will appear next to this menu item when it is
enabled. To disable this select it again so that the check mark
disappears.
• This option helps verify certain communication events from the
ProcessLinx to the OPC Server(s).
Show Errors
• Enables ProcessLinx to print out all error messages to the message
log window (or file). A check mark will appear next to this menu
item when it is enabled.
• If an error log directory was defined then leaving this option in the
checked state may fill up that log file quickly.
• This option helps verify communications with the OPC Server(s)
and with the configuration.
Show Send
• Enables ProcessLinx to print out all writeBlock messages to the
message log window (or file). If checked, then each write will be
logged to the message pane.
• This option helps verify certain communication events from the
ProcessLinx to the OPC Server(s).
• We do not recommend that you leave this option on too long. It
may fill the message pane buffer and use significant memory
resources. This could effect the performance of other tasks on the
PC.
