Class 1 Input Data Updates (To PLC)

The number of Class 1 input data updates sent to the PLC(s).

Client Object Requests

The number of Class 3 requests to the IO-Link Master vendor specific objects.

Good Responses from PLC

The number of good responses from messages sent to PLC(s).

Bad Responses from PLC

Displays the number of bad responses from messages sent to the PLC(s). Bad responses are typically returned for such errors as:

  • Incorrect tag or file names

  • Incorrect tag or file data types

  • Incorrect tag or file data sizes

  • PLC is overloaded and cannot handle the amount of Ethernet traffic

  • PLC malfunction

No Responses from PLC

Displays the number of no responses from messages sent to the PLC(s). No responses are typically returned for such errors as:

  • Incorrect IP address

  • Incorrect PLC configuration

  • PLC malfunction

  • PLC is overloaded and cannot handle the amount of Ethernet traffic

Invalid Network Paths

Displays the number of network path errors on messages sent to the PLC(s). These are typically caused by incorrect IP address settings.

Pending Request Limit Reached

Displays the number of pending request limit errors. These errors occur when the PLC is sending a continuous stream of messages to the IO-Link Master faster than the IO-Link Master can process them.

Unexpected Events

Displays the number of unexpected event errors. Unexpected event errors occur when the IO-Link Master receives an unexpected message from the PLC such as an unexpected response or unknown message.

Unsupported CIP Class Errors

Displays the number of unsupported CIP class errors.

These errors occur when a message that attempts to access an invalid class is received by the IO-Link Master.

Unsupported CIP Instance Errors

Displays the number of unsupported CIP instance errors.

These errors occur when a message that attempts to access an invalid instance is received by the IO-Link Master.

Unsupported CIP Service Errors

Displays the number of unsupported CIP service errors. These errors occur when a message that attempts to access an invalid service is sent to the IO-Link Master.

Unsupported CIP Attribute Errors

Displays the number of unsupported CIP request attribute errors. These errors occur when a message that attempts to access an invalid attribute is sent to the IO-Link Master.

Unsupported File Errors

Displays the number of messages from SLC/PLC-5/MicroLogix PLCs that attempt to access an unsupported file address.

System Resource Errors

Displays the number of system resource errors. These errors indicate a system error on the IO-Link Master such as operating system errors or full message queues. These errors typically occur when the PLC(s) are sending messages to the IO-Link Master faster than the IO-Link Master can process them.

First Error String

Text description of the first error that occurred.

Last Error String

Text description of the last error that occurred.

EtherNet/IP Port Specific Diagnostics

Configuration Errors

Displays the number of improper configuration errors. These errors occur when the IO-Link Master receives a message that cannot be performed due to an invalid configuration.

Invalid Data Errors

Displays the number of invalid message data errors. These errors occur when the IO-Link Master receives a message that cannot be performed due to invalid data.

Active PDO Controller(s)

Lists the controller interface(s) type, (Class 1 or Class 3), and IP address that are controlling the PDO data.

PDO Writes to Offline or Read-Only Ports

Displays the number of PDO write messages that were dropped due to any of the following:

  • The port is configured in IO-Link mode:

  • There is no device connected to the port.

  • The IO-Link device is off-line.

  • The IO-Link device does not support PDO data.

  • The PDO Transmit Mode (To PLC) is disabled.

  • The port is configured in Digital Input mode.

Undeliverable PDI Updates (To PLC)

Displays the number of PDI update messages that could not be delivered to the PLC in the Write-to-Tag/File method. Undeliverable updates may result when:

  • The IO-Link Master cannot complete an Ethernet connection to the PLC.

  • The PDI data is changing faster than the Maximum PLC Update Rate.

ISDU Request Msgs from PLC(s)

Displays the number of ISDU request messages received from the PLC(s) or other controllers. These request messages may contain one or multiple ISDU commands.

ISDU Invalid Requests

Displays the number ISDU requests received over EtherNet/IP with one or more invalid commands.

ISDU Requests When Port Offline

Displays the number of ISDU requests received over EtherNet/IP when the IO-Link port was offline. This can occur when:

  • The IO-Link port is initializing, such as after start-up.

  • There is no IO-Link device attached to the port.

  • The IO-Link device is not responding.

  • Communication to the IO-Link device has been lost.

Valid ISDU Responses From Port

Displays the number of valid ISDU response messages returned from the IO-Link port interface and available to the PLC(s). The response messages contain results to the ISDU command(s) received in the request message.

ISDU Response Timeouts

Displays the number of ISDU requests that did not receive a response within the configured ISDU Response Timeout.

Unexpected ISDU Responses

Displays the number of unexpected ISDU responses.

Unexpected responses may occur when an ISDU response is received after the ISDU request has timed out. This typically requires setting the ISDU Response Timeout to a longer value.

Maximum ISDU Request Msg Response Time

Displays the maximum time period required to process all commands within an ISDU request message. The response is not available until all ISDU command(s) contained in the request have been processed.

Average ISDU Request Msg Response Time

Displays the average time period required to process the ISDU request message(s). The response is not available until all ISDU command(s) contained in the request have been processed.

Minimum ISDU Request Msg Response Time

Displays the minimum time period required to process all commands within an ISDU request message. The response is not available until all ISDU command(s) contained in the request have been processed.

ISDU Read Commands

Displays the number of ISDU read commands received over EtherNet/IP.

ISDU Write Commands

Displays the number of ISDU write commands received over EtherNet/IP.

ISDU NOP Commands

Displays the number of ISDU NOP (no operation) commands received over EtherNet/IP.
