Checking the Own Node Status

From the Main Menu select:

FL-net Menu (F)

Display Own Node Status (1)

The Own Node Data page shows MVI69-FLN status in the FL-net network,
including upper layer status, allowable minimum frame interval time (MFT), Area
1 and Area 2 settings, and other values.

1.20.4 Checking Status through CompactLogix Controller Tags

You can also monitor network status through the CompactLogix controller tags
that are updated through the MVI69-FLN sample ladder. Refer to the ProSoft
Solutions CD-ROM or the ProSoft web site at http://www.prosoft-technology.com
(http://www.prosoft-technology.com) for the sample ladder logic for the MVI69-
FLN module.

THE FLNETSTATUS controller tag contains status information that is copied
from the module and the processor.
