Monitor Health of Data Logging
It is important to monitor the health of the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software data logging periodically. Any system may
lose functionality over time due to issues with devices or communication. FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software has status
pages that provide information on the health of the system at a glance.
Device Status Page
The Device Status page provides a color-coded view of the communication status of each device in the system. To view the
Device Status page, launch and log into the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software web page. In the System tab, click the
Devices folder.
Each device name is a hyperlink to a web page that provides more detail as to issues encountered by the data logger,
including RSLinx error codes.
System Status Page
The System Status page provides a list of device communication errors. To view the System Status page, launch and log into
the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software web page. Click System Status in the System tab.
A device communication error occurs when four
consecutive logging intervals occur with no
response from the device.
Click the device name for a new page with
additional detail. Occasional communication errors
occur normally and have little impact on data
integrity. Sustained or frequent communication
errors indicate a need to troubleshoot the network
and/or device.
