Therefore, if application tasks running on a Processor module in the

master rack access variables on this Remote I/Omodule, you should

stop the application tasks before doing the selfĆtest to avoid shutting

down the system with a bus error.

Status (S)

Entering S" will display at the operator's console all the parameters

associated with the module. All line statistic parameters will increase

to 65535 and then roll over to zero. All drops will display the following

status information:
SOFTWARE PART NUMBER 419451Ć0nnx

(nn is the part version number; x is the part revision number)

CHASSIS IS

ACTIVE or INACTIVE

LINE IS

ACTIVE or INACTIVE

MODE IS

(NORMAL), or SETUP

DROP NUMBER

MESSAGES SENT:

where:

MESSAGES RECEIVED is the total number of messages received

by the module. While the line is inactive, this value will remain

unchanged. While the line is active, it will constantly increase in

value.
RECEIVE TIMEOUTS is the total number of timeouts that have

occurred while the drop was waiting for a message to be

received. While the line is inactive, the master module will

indicate a value fluctuating between 0 and 3 and the slave

module will indicate a value of 0.
CRC ERRORS is the total number of cyclic redundancy check

errors that have occurred since the last reset of the module. This

number should ideally remain equal to zero.
OVERRUN ERRORS is the total number of message overrun

errors that have occurred since the last reset of the module. This

number should ideally remain equal to zero.
ABORT ERRORS is the total number of message abort errors that

have occurred since the last reset of the module. This number

should ideally remain equal to zero.
MESSAGES SENT is the total number of messages transmitted

by the module. While the line is inactive, this value for the master

module will rapidly increase since init request" messages are

constantly being sent. For the slave modules, it will remain

unchanged. While the line is active, this value will constantly

increase.

The four error parameters (RECEIVE TIMEOUTS, CRC, OVERRUN,

and ABORT) indicate coaxial line integrity (or lack of it). A few errors

may accumulate over a period of time, such as hours or days, but

when these parameter values increase consistently over a period of
