5. DIFFERENT COMPONENTS TO DEBUG.
PACiS GTW software propose different files that can help to debug.
Files can be either Traces, Logbook, T101 file transfer files, watchdog.log, configuration files
5.1 Traces
PACiS GTW, at kernel, acquisition and protocol level, uses a Microsoft Windows primitive to
display traces.
This primitive is OutputDebugString.
When OutputDebugString() is called by an application, it maps data segment into memory ,
copy up to about 4kbytes of data to the memory buffer, store the current process and set
event signal.
On the debugger front wait for event to be signaled and extract the process ID, NUL-
terminated string from memory buffer.
To display those traces two tools are delivered with PACiS GTW:
1. DbgView.exe (this is a freeware that you can find on the Internet)
2. Viewtraces.exe (this is a software implemented by Schneider Electric)
DebugView.exe is an application that lets you monitor debug output on your local system, or
any computer on the network that you can reach via TCP/IP. It is capable of displaying both
kernel-mode(output generated by device drivers and/or the Windows kernel) and Win32
debug mode(output generated by standard debug print APIs).
ViewTrace.exe is an application that lets you monitor debug output on only your local
system. It is capable to translate protocol frame format data into user readable format.
5.2 LogBook
When a screen and a keyboard are connected to PACiS GTW-PC an HMI is displayed with a
logbook.
Logbook will help you to know product, components, configuration, protocols versions, status
of equipments and transmitted Analog/Digital information, State of communication and
Execute command status etc…
5.3 Translatefile
So protocol can memorize Sequence Of Event (SOE) in a file to transfer it if SCADA
required.
Those files are formatted to be transmitted to SCADA so they are note readable. To edit
those files a tools is delivered with PACiS GTW TranslateFile.exe
TranslateFile will help you to translate T101 SOE file format into readable format.
5.4 WatchDog
When a watchdog is detected the PACiS GTW memorize it in a readable file. This file is
named WatchDog.log and memorized in same directory than the application.
5.5 Configuration files
System Configuration Editor (SCE) generates files of configuration in binary format, and data
model of each server that PACiS GTW will connect to.
configuration in binary format are not readable, to help you to read this configuration a text
file is generated.
To help you to make the relationship between data model an protocol configuration a tool is
provided: GTWIdToUca2
