monitoring the ethernet/ip bus

4 posts in this topic

Is there any way to monitor ethernet/ip bus, states or faults and to make an alarm to the panel alarmlist. I am using IO-stations (1734-AENTR) and I would like to monitor somehow the system. I feel that reading the slot status of the 1734-AENTR device is not enough, because it is not possible to monitor all the cards in a slot. How to get alarm on a screen if I lose any station on the ethernet/ip bus?

The statuses are available through the use of a GSV in your program.

I need to check possibilities to use that. Thanks!

Word of caution, GSV Instructions take several scans to execute so be cautious how many you execute in a simultaneous manner.  It is not as much of an issue with the L8X family as it was with the L5X family.  But still worth considering.
