AS-Interface Analyser
AS-Interface net. The notebook needs to be attached only for a later data analysis
(see chapter 5.3.6).
5.3.1
Overview
Fig. 3a: The traffic light representation of the online statistics shows how good or bad the sla-
ves communicates
Then, if the analyser is attached in the net for the first time and the PC software is
called, you receive a functional overview of the slaves in the "traffic light represen-
tation" (fig. 3). It is callable at any time over the main menu "Measure / Online Sta-
tistics" or over the colored marked button.
The traffic light representation
shows,
• which slaves work trouble-free
(green),
• which slaves stand out ("Warn-
ing" yellow),
• which slaves exhibits too many
telegram repetitions or (possi-
bly at times) completely fails
("Error" red).
If the master is in the protected
mode, the representation shows
in addition,
• which slave addresses are oc-
cupied but not or wrongly con-
figured (grey).
In this overview the critical mes-
sages "yellow", "red" and "grey" remain displayed as long as either the net gets a
restart or the analyser is put back by pushing the "Clear All" button.
Subject to reasonable modifications due to technical advances.
