For every Ethernet-based interface, there is a table available in the I/O Manager which shows the status of each connection. Each line represents one connection. The following figure shows, as an example, the connection table of the Codesys-Xplorer interface:
The connected target systems (controllers) are identified by their name or IP address in the first (left) column.
Depending on the interface type the table shows error counters, read counters and/or data sizes, as well as the cycle times, refresh times and/or update times of the different connections during the data acquisition.
Click the <Reset statistics> button to reset the error counters and the calculation of the response times.
Additional information is provided by the background color of the table rows:
