Service Data
Module configuration shows which measurement
options are available, i.e. are detected by the
module.
Timeouts is a cumulative number that indicates
how many times the module has not responded to
the monitor's inquiry.
Bad checksums is a cumulative number that
indicates how many times communication from the
module to monitor has broken down.
Bad c-s by mod is a cumulative number that
indicates how many communication errors the
module has detected.
The monitor starts counting these items at power up
and resets to zero at power off. The values may also
be reset when a module is attached to the monitor
frame and be set to 32769 or continuous counting
may be started when the module is removed from
the monitor frame.
The nonzero values do not indicate a failure, but the
continuous counting (more than 5 per second) or
value 32769 indicates either a serial communication
failure or a module not in place. Also failures in other
modules may cause these numbers to rise or be set
to 32769.
