The remainder of this section shows you the menus available for this module,
and briefly discusses the commands available to you.
Keystrokes
The keyboard commands on these menus are almost always non-case sensitive.
You can enter most commands in lower case or capital letters.
The menus use a few special characters ([?], [-], [+], [@]) that must be entered
exactly as shown. Some of these characters will require you to use the [Shift],
[Ctrl] or [Alt] keys to enter them correctly. For example, on US English
keyboards, enter the [?] command as [Shift][/].
Also, take care to distinguish capital letter [I] from lower case letter [l] (L) and
number [1]; likewise for capital letter [O] and number [0]. Although these
characters look nearly the same on the screen, they perform different actions on
the module.
1.20.3 Using the Module Debug Menu
Checking the Nodes Exchanging Data
From the Main Menu select:
FL-net Menu (F)
→ Node Data Exchange (D)
This menu contains a table that indicates all nodes that are exchanging data with
the MVI69-FLN module. In the following table, each group of four digits
corresponds to a word (16-bits) displayed in hexadecimal format. This table
describes a sequence of bits that correspond to each FL-net node.
The following tables show the correlation between the bits and the nodes on the
FL-net network for the first three words:
