Viewing General Configuration
Press [C] from the IEC-103 Master Driver Menu to display the general
configuration for the protocol. The following illustration shows an example of the
Module Configuration screen:
The Busy/Idle message indicates the current activity state of the module. "Idle"
means it is waiting to execute a command. "Busy" means it is executing a
command and is waiting for the response to the request. This does not include
the normal class 1 and 2 polls as these are automatically generated.
The counter data displays the number of memory areas allocated for the
application layer. When no packets are pending, the counts should all be 0. If
messages are waiting to be sent, the applRec count will indicate the number
waiting to be sent. If many messages are received at the same time, the applRec
count will indicate the number of packets that must be processed. The "anything"
count indicates any other buffer area that is allocated and must be processed by
the application.
Opening the IEC-870-Master Command List Menu
Press [I] from the IEC-103 Master Driver Menu to open the ICE-870 Master
Command List menu. Use this command to view the configured command list for
the module.
