Appendix B. Troubleshooting
Appendix B.1. ProducerID with FieldServer device as Producer
During testing it has been observed that a 90-30 PLC required that the ge_ProducerID parameter was set to the
same value as the IP Address of the FieldServer.
Appendix B.2. Produced Time Stamp
The GE-EGD (Ethernet Global Data) driver always sets the timestamp of produced data to the time of the Field
Server Device. The nanoseconds portion of the time stamp is always set to zero.
Appendix B.3. Status Values
The status of the EGD Exchange may be monitored in the GE PLC. The status value is well documented in GFK-
1541 Chapter 4.4. During testing, using the Field Server device as a producer and the GE Device as a consumer the
following status values were observed.
0 -> The exchange had never been consumed
1 -> Normal
4 -> Length of produced and consumed exchange not equal - Different messages with the same exchange ID.
6. -> Timeout.
Appendix B.4. Error Messages
Multiple protocol drivers may exist on a FieldServer. Each driver may produce its own error messages and the
FieldServer itself may produce error messages.
Message Action
EGD:#1 Error. Can’t init UDP. This is a fatal error. The FieldServer needs to be re-initialized or you need
technical support from FieldServer Technologies.
EGD:#2 Error. Can’t get a socket.
EGD:#3 Error. Protocol does not
support active polling. Change
function for mapDesc=<%s>
The rdbc/rdb/rdbx functions are not supported by this protocol. The device
you wish to poll must be configured to 'produce' its data and this driver will
'consume' the data using passive Map Descriptors.

EGD:#4 Error. Producer ID
required for mapDesc=<%s>
Each Map Descriptor requires a producerID.
