Error Log Format
• select Export to HTML option from the context menu
First select the project level in the Network view, then right click the
mouse to display the context menu. A window will pop up displaying the
progress of the export process.
After exporting the information, the default browser is launched, showing the
result of the export process. Links are available to open the information pages
for the individual DTMs.
The extent of the information made available depends on the individual
DTMs. This can range from device type and version information up to all set-
tings and selections made for the device.
Exporting single DTM information to HTML is achieved by the following
sequence.
1. Select the DTM in the Network view.
2. Right click the mouse to bring up the context menu.
3. Select the Export to HTML option from the context menu.
A window will pop up displaying the progress of the export process. When fin-
ished, CX-Profibus will launch the default browser to display the result. In this
case however, no links will be available to other DTMs in the network.
CX-Profibus provides two logging windows at the bottom of the application
window. Both windows are used for displaying events.
The Error Log view displays error messages reported by the DTMs and by the
CX-Profibus FDT container application. All messages include the Time and
Date of occurrence, as well as the DTM Name, as shown in the Network view.
The purpose of the Error Log view is error reporting as well as troubleshoot-
ing. The contents of the window can be copied to the clipboard, to allow it to
be pasted into another document or into an E-mail. The errors themselves as
well as the sequence of errors may hold additional clues in case of problems.
The format used in the Error Log view is
Time: <Time> Date: <Date> - <DTM name> <message>
The message displayed, originates from the DTM in which the error occurred.
The figure below shows an example of an error message sequence. This
example sequence is generated after attempting to change a slave address to
that of another slave already assigned to the same Master Unit.
By right-clicking the mouse cursor in the Error Log view, a context menu is
displayed. This context menu provides the options listed below.
