RSLinx Diagnostic Tools


RSLinx includes a wealth of diagnostic information to assist us in analyzing our system. Whether it's trouble-shooting a communication problem or analyzing network throughput, RSLinx provides the needed information. Diagnostics fall into following three major categories:
  1. Networks: Diagnostic counters track server information such as messages sent, messages received, messages acknowledged, communication errors, and timeouts. Performance counters give throughput in terms of packets/second.
  2. Station: Diagnostic counters indicate information for a selected station such as messages sent and received, message retries, and packet errors.
  3. OPC/DDE: Multiple dialogs for DDE clients, OPC Groups, Optimized Packets, and OPC/ DDE server connections display diagnostic information specific to the category. A Communication event log displays information specific to an OPC/DDE transaction.
