Using AbRioCfg Software
for Troubleshooting

AbRioCfg software can be used in the following ways to troubleshoot
problems with the 1757-ABRIO module:

Monitor digital input and output data to determine if the raw
data as seen by the module is correct.

Monitor block transfers to see if the raw data is correct and if the
block transfer is updating.

Monitor tags to see if the tag is being updated by the host
controller and to see the values of the data that the 1757-ABRIO
module is sending to or receiving from the host controller.

Monitor the diagnostic counters to see if the active station list is
correct, to see if the module is sending and receiving packets,
and to see if any network errors are occurring.

View the Scanner Log. If a network error occurs, information
will be logged to the Scanner Log that indicates the cause of the
problem.
