Communication Interface T8151B
Issue 21 Apr 10 PD-T8151B 47
Each task will provide help on its commands on typing the task prefix. For example, Modbus Master
commands are shown below. To enter a command, type its prefix, a space and the command, e.g.
mbm m.
ci:?mbm
Modbus Master Diagnostic Commands:
m - Displays Master Configuration [master].
s - Displays Slave Configuration [slave].
t - Displays Message Configuration [slave].
b - Displays Broadcast Message Configuration [master].
l - Controls diagnostic logging [{all|m|s}{on|off}]
c - Displays communications logs [r][all|m|s]
cont - (!)Set the value in the control register for slave or master.
stat - (!)Set the value in the status register for slave or master.
caddr - (!)Set the address of the control register for slave or master.
saddr - (!)Set the address of the status register for slave or master.
h - Displays this help message.
ci:?
Some useful commands are listed below.
ls d Show current event log
ls b Show backup event log before last power loss (only from hardware build C)
pio s Simplex peer link status (errors, connections)
pio p n Status of peer number n (packet counts errors, IP address etc.)
dxp s Dual per link status
fps r Press the reset pushbutton
fps q Displays current date and time in proper format
fps d <date> <time> Set the date and time in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
mbs s Modbus slave packet counts and errors
mbs p Modbus slave port setup
uart s Serial port setup
mbm m Modbus Master setup for each master
mbm s Modbus Master setup for each slave
mbm t Modbus Master setup for each message sent to/from slaves
mbm c Modbus Master communications statistics
tcp s Ethernet port connection status (note the connections and the ports they use)
tcp p Ethernet port configuration
tcp ns Ethernet general statistics: number of packets, error counts
tcp ne Ethernet detailed network errors
tcp diag on Open diagnostic port over Ethernet
tcp diag off Close diagnostic port over Ethernet
These last two commands have been highlighted because they open and close the ability to connect
command line diagnostics over an Ethernet link. This will allow a site engineering workstation to
access these diagnostic commands across a network, and avoids the need to physically plug into the
system. By default, the Ethernet diagnostics are disabled for security.
5.4.3. Heirarchical prompts
Some tasks actually provide a second layer prompt; the prompt will change on typing the prefix. To
disconnect from these prompts, type a full stop/period ‘.’ In the communication interface, tasks trc and
1.15 connect to a new prompt layer.
1.15 opens access to the processor. The command line interface is then routed through to the active
processor. Similar commands route communications from the processor to a standby processor and to
communication interfaces. It is possible to connect to the processor and back again using these
commands; note that these connections should be closed with ‘.’ before disconnecting.
5.4.4. Trace diagnostics
trc provides access to trace diagnosticws (activity logging). Once in the trc:? prompt, there is no need
to type trc before each command. Most of the trace diagnostics are for R&D use only, but the c
command may be useful for capturing communications data.
