Viewing and Clearing the Event
Queue

The module maintains an event queue that reports the history of its
actions. You can view the event queue using VS Utilities or terminal
emulation software (such as HyperTerminal).

Many events in the event queue occur under normal operation. If
you encounter unexpected communications problems, the events
may help you or Reliance Electric personnel troubleshoot the
problem. Table 5.5 lists events that may appear in the event queue.
