Monitoring Functions Section 7-1
7-1-2 Monitoring Safety Connections
Description
The safety connection status of the NE1A-series Controller can be monitored
using the Network Configurator. This enables the user to specify with which
device an error is occurring in the safety communications and in which safety
connection the error is occurring. Connection information of the DST1-series
Safety I/O Terminals cannot be monitored.
Monitoring Using the Network Configurator
The user can monitor the safety connection status using any of the following
methods:
1. Select the NE1A-series Controller and select Device - Monitor from the
menu bar. Click the Safety Connection Tab in the displayed window.
2. Select the NE1A-series Controller and click the Monitor Device Button on
the toolbar. Click the Safety Connection Tab in the displayed window.
3. Right-click the NE1A-series Controller and select Monitor from the pop-up
menu. Click the Safety Connection Tab in the displayed window.
The connection status of the Safety Slave is displayed for the local node
address. For the other node addresses, the status of the safety connections
configured for the device parameters is displayed.
Status codes (error codes) can be monitored (version 1.5 @ or higher).
This is useful when a connection cannot be established, because the status
code returned by the target device can be used to check the cause of the
error. Refer to
8-1 Connection Status Tables for details of status codes.
The connection status of the Safety Slave is displayed for the local node
address. For the other node addresses, the status of the safety connections
configured for the device parameters is displayed.
Status codes can be
monitored (Ver. 1.5
