Comm Fail Registere:
You can choose a separate register in the
local register map to indicate that the remote device has failed to
respond inside the configured response timeout. If this register is a
bit register, it will be set ON if the transaction fails, and OFF if the
transaction is successful. If this register is a word register, it will
receive an extended code indicating the reason for the failure. It will
be set to zero on successful transaction. Refer to section “Modbus
Error Codes” on
page 51

Dashboard
The 215U-2 provides a dashboard feature that allows you configure
the device so that users can view the status of the device’s local
I/O and registers. Any authorized user can access the device’s
dashboard remotely using a standard web browser. You configure
which registers will be displayed on the dashboard, and how they
will be displayed. The dashboard provides a live status of I/O, with
regular automatic refresh.
