When you click on a module link in the tree structure, you will see information about this link.
In the "Info" tab, information about the FO communication is displayed on the left. The displayed information will depend on the current protocol on the FO link.
”Link” area
Communication status
OK if the FO communication works properly. This means that the telegrams that are being received correspond with the mode that is configured on the link. The link mode is determined by the module that is connected to the link.
Detected protocol
This is the transmission protocol detected by the module. This can be 32Mbit, 32Mbit Flex or "?" (no device connected).
Selected protocol
This is the transmission protocol set for this link. It is determined by the attached module.
Telegram counters
Counter of correctly received telegrams.
Error counter
Counter of received telegrams that have errors (e.g., incorrect checksum). If this counter changes, the FO communication does not work correctly.
Time between telegrams
The time interval between the last 2 correctly received telegrams.
"Image generation" area
The information on the right side of the dialog describes the image generation (process image). An image is a collection of bytes that are transmitted from the module to the computer via the bus. This image contains all data of the measured signals on that link.
Dropped images
This counter indicates how many images were dropped due to an overload of the communication bus used by the modules. This can occur, for example, if the bus is already occupied with data from too many analog modules with high sampling rates. In this case, consider whether the sampling rate of the modules can be reduced or whether modules must be relocated to another system.
