Master Unit and the Network
Both the CS1/CJ1W-PRM21 Master DTM and the Generic Slave DTM pro-
vide special user interfaces to facilitate status debugging and diagnostics
determination. This section and the next will discuss the use and the features
of these diagnosis user interfaces.
The CS1/CJ1W-PRM21 Master DTM Diagnosis - Monitor User Interface pro-
vides a means to
• Monitor the CS1/CJ1W-PRM21 Master Unit status.
• Monitor an overview of the status of all allocated slave devices.
• Monitor standard slave diagnostics.
• Monitor the Unit's Error Log
The Error Log is discussed in section 6-7-3 Using the Error Log.
The information is obtained directly from the Master Unit, using FINS com-
mands. The Master DTM reads the Unit's CIO words from the PLC memory,
as well as the standard slave device diagnostics bytes as received by the
Master Unit.
To open the CS1/CJ1W-PRM21 Master DTM Diagnosis - Monitor User Inter-
face, perform the following steps.
1. Make sure the Master DTM is online with the Master Unit. To go on line,
select the DTM in the Network view, and perform one of the following ac-
tions.
• Select the Device - Go Online option from the main menu, or the DTM
context menu, or
• Select the button from the Tool Bar.
2. A communication channel will be opened through CX-Server. The name of
the DTM in the Network view, will turn to Italic font, to indicate that the Unit

tics User Interface will be displayed.

Monitor User Interface can be updated either Automatically or Manually.

(see sections 4-2-3 to 4-2-6). They can be used to
• Obtain the status of the Master Unit and the network.
• Determine errors in the unit or the network.
• Troubleshoot the Master Unit and the network.
