About Network Tools

The Network Tools utility lets you access valuable operating data on
your ProcessLogix hardware. It scans all the nodes on the Supervisory
Network segment connected to your ProcessLogix Server.

The utility features a common Windows interface with pulldown
menus, toolbar buttons, and status bar. Its main window is divided
into a Tree pane, a List pane, and a Detail pane.

The Tree pane shows the nodes connected to your PC in an
hierarchical fashion.

The List pane provides information about the communication
status of the Supervisory Network.

The Detail pane provides a graphical representation of the
modules included in the chassis.

Each module graphic provides these details about the module:

base catalog number (without the 1756- prefix)

current state

CEE type for 1757-PLX52s (standard is 50ms and fast is 5ms)

current firmware version including application (AV) and boot

versions (BV), if applicable.
