Warm Booting the Module

Caution: Some of the commands available to you from this menu are designed for advanced
debugging and system testing only, and can cause the module to stop communicating with the
processor or with other devices, resulting in potential data loss or other failures. Only use these
commands if you are specifically directed to do so by ProSoft Technology Technical Support staff.
Some of these command keys are not listed on the menu, but are active nevertheless. Please be
careful when pressing keys so that you do not accidentally execute an unwanted command.

Press [R]

from the Main Menu to warm boot (restart) the module. This command

will cause the program to exit and reload, refreshing configuration parameters

that must be set on program initialization. Only use this command if you must

cause the module to re-boot.

Viewing Comm Status
Press [S] to view the communication status for the DNP port.

Clearing the Error List
Press [W]

to clear the error list. Use this command after viewing the error list

(page 47) to delete the current list of errors and start a new list.

Viewing COM States
Press [V] to view the current state of the DNP application port and the port
configuration information.

Use this command to view the current version of the software for the module, as

well as other important values. You may be asked to provide this information

when calling for technical support on the product.
Values at the bottom of the display are important in determining module

operation. The Program Scan Counter value is incremented each time a

module’s program cycle is complete.

Tip: Repeat this command at one-second intervals to determine the frequency of program
execution.
