2.5.3 Checking Status through ControlLogix Controller Tags
You can also monitor network status through the ControlLogix controller tags that
are updated through the MVI56E-FLN sample ladder. Refer to the web site at
www.prosoft-technology.com (http://www.prosoft-technology.com) for the sample
ladder logic for the MVI56E-FLN module.
THE FLNETSTATUS controller tag contains status information that is copied
from the module and the processor.
Checking the Own Node Status
Monitor the FLNETSTATUS.Own_node controller tag for MVI56E-FLN status
information. This tag includes the upper layer status (UL), allowable minimum
frame interval time (MFT), token watchdog time (TW), protocol, Area 1 and Area
2 settings for the MVI56E-FLN.
The information in this tag is updated automatically from the module through
status blocks 0 and -1.
