9–9

Diagnostic Counters

Publication 1770Ć6.5.16 - October 1996

This counter byte Counts the number of

9

Frames that were rejected because they were less than 6 bytes

long.

This counter records all status frames that were received by a node

that disabled its address recognizer in the second step of the

mastership timeout process. This happens often on a

heavilyĆloaded link.

10

Frames that were rejected because the destination address was

incorrect.

This can have the same cause as counter byte 9. This counter also

detects frames that have the same source and destination address.

11

Times that the receiver sent an ACK without first being able to

allocate a receive buffer.

This may result in a memory overflow error when the next message

is received.

12

Frames that were rejected because of a bad CRC.

This error is common on a noisy link.

13

Times a message was received that contained more than 250 bytes.

14

Times a message was received when buffer space was not

allocated for it.

This usually follows a memory full" error.

15

Duplicate frames received.

A duplicate frame is sent by a transmitter when it fails to receive an

ACK. If the reason it failed to receive an ACK was that the ACK was

lostĊrather than because the original message was lostĊ

the duplicate is redundant and should be discarded. Any two

successive messages between polls that have the same sequence

number fields and the same command or reply bits are assumed to

be duplicates.

16

Aborts received.

The HDLC abort signal is not used on a DH link but can be detected

by the serial input or output, in certain circumstances. Some nodes

whose addresses match the ringing pattern after a transmitter

shutoff can be particularly susceptible to this error (nodes 36, 76,

and 176, for example). These numbers depend on highway

configurations.
