Gateway Event Log

 

The Gateway keeps an internal log of events.  The event log can be viewed from the gateway 
window of the ToolKit by selecting ‘View Gateway Log’ from the Tools menu.  The gateway 
log  events  such  as  reboots,  remote  nodes  joining/timing  out,  local  RSD  control  events, 
remote configuration sessions, firmware updates, and more.

 

 

RS485 Details

 

The Gateway keeps a log of any Modbus requests made to either itself or any slave nodes connected 
to it. The Modbus Transmission Log can be viewed under the Tools menu by selecting “RS485 Details”. 
The image below shows an example where an RTU polls a node for holding register 65532, battery 
voltage.

 

 

When the Gateway is open in the ToolKit, this log will be automatically written to the Log folder.

 

 

Network Map

 

The ToolKit comes with a graphical display of the network that includes the Gateway, its nodes, their 
slave IDs and signal strengths, and what path each node takes to communicate with the Gateway 
(such as hopping through a repeater stick).
