This section provides information on diagnostics and troubleshooting in three
forms:
Status data values are transferred from the module to the controller tags in
the SLC processor.
All data contained in the module can be viewed through the
Configuration/Debug port attached to a terminal emulator.
LED status indicators on the front of the module provide information on the
modules status.
6.1 The Configuration/Debug Menu
The Configuration and Debug menu for this module is arranged as a tree
structure, with the Main Menu at the top of the tree, and one or more sub-menus
for each menu command. The first menu you see when you connect to the
module is the Main menu.
Because this is a text-based menu system, you enter commands by typing the
command letter from your computer keyboard in the terminal application (for
example, HyperTerminal). The module does not respond to mouse movements
or clicks. The command executes as soon as you press the command letter —
you do not need to press [Enter]. When you type a command letter, a new
screen will be displayed in your terminal application.
6.1.1 Navigation
All of the sub-menus for this module contain commands to redisplay the menu or
return to the previous menu. You can always return from a sub-menu to the next
higher menu by pressing [Z] on your keyboard.
