Reading Status Data from the Module
The MVI71-DNPSNET module returns a 34-word Status Data block that can be
used to determine the module's operating status. This data can be located in the
module's database at registers at the location specified in the configuration. This
data is transferred to the PLC processor continuously when the side-connect
interface is used.
The Configuration/Debug port provides the following functionality:
Full view of the module's configuration data
View of the module's status data
Complete display of the module's internal database (registers 0 to 8999)

Control over the module (warm boot and cold boot)
Facility to upload and download the module's configuration file
4.1.1 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.
