Description
Peer Controller Name
Controller name of the peer device. All peer devices must have the same network
name. All peer devices that share a common network name must have unique
controller names.
IP Address
IP address of the peer. The IP address is automatically determined when a peer
device is discovered via its network and controller names.
Peer Status
See Peer Connection Status Indicators, Table 18.
Messages Received
Number of messages received from the peer device.
Messages Transmitted
Number of messages sent to the peer device.
Write Requests
Number of write event messages sent to the peer device.
Write Request Failures
Number of write event messages that have not been acknowledged by the peer device
within the scan rate configured for the peer data exchange. A non-zero value means
the network is congested and message transfer is being impeded.
Producer Failures
Number of times the peer device has not responded to a data exchange connection
request. Non-zero value means the peer device is not available because the controller
is in Program mode, controller power is off, or controller name does not exist in the
network. The network is defined as all devices that:
•
are on the same physical network,
•
are within the IP address range per the configured IP mask,
•
share the same peer network name.
