following basic communications status information:
Modbus backlog: Indicates the number of trip unit data requests that are in the queue. Normally,
this value should be zero. If this value is not zero, or is not decrementing to zero, this can indicate a
Timing Setting may need to be adjusted. For example, the “Scan Period” setting may need to be
increased.
Units communicating: The first number indicates the total # of trip units that are successfully
communicating. The second number indicates the total # of trip units that Smart 1-Line is trying to
communicate with.
