Field Description
Module Uptime The amount of time the adaptor has been powered up and
operating, since the last power cycle.
CIP Connection Statistics
Field Description
Current CIP Msg Connections The number of CIP Msg connections that are currently open. In
most cases, CIP messages are issued for diagnostic purposes
from ladder logic, and not for regular Input and Output data.
CIP Msg Connection Limit The ILX34-AENWG can support up to 32 CIP Msg connections.
Max Msg Connections Observed The maximum number of CIP Msg connections that have
occurred at one time since the unit was reset.
Current CIP I/O Connections The number of I/O connections that are currently open. Note
that several I/O slices can be Rack Optimized into a single
connection. If this number matches the number of connections
expected, the unit is fully operational.
CIP I/O Connection Limit The ILX34-AENWG can support up to 20 connections. Although
up to 63 I/O modules can be connected to the ILX34, these must
be rack optimized to fit into the limit of 20 connections.
Max I/O Connections Observed The maximum number of connections that have occurred at one
time since the unit was reset.
Conn Opens Number of times that an I/O (or possibly a Msg) connection
open request has been received from the controller.
Open Errors Number of times that there has been an error in establishing the
I/O connection when the open request has been received.
Conn Closes Number of times the connection has been closed.
This value can indicate a problem in the RF traffic that has
caused a timeout, causing the connection to close.
Close Errors Number of times an error has occurred when the controller is
attempting to close a connection.
These errors can be caused by a timeout, because a loss of
communication could prevent all of the packets that would
normally occur during a close to be transferred in a timely
manner.
Conn Timeouts Timeouts occur when the controller does not receive packets
from an I/O connection within the RPI requirements. The timeout
occurs within 4 x RPI value.
If the controller has not heard from the I/O in 4 RPI times, it
times out.
The minimum timeout value is 100ms. Therefore, even if the RPI
is 4ms, a timeout will not occur until no packets have been
heard from the I/O in over 100ms.
If the number of timeouts is high, the network traffic is likely too
high.
