Diagnostics Tools

The following tools are available to assist you in diagnosing problems with the Ethernet
interface and the network.

Controller Fault Table
Use the Controller Fault table to troubleshoot a problem once the Interface is running. It
provides a record of exceptions logged by the controller. The Controller Fault table is
accessed through the programming software or the IDM.
The table on the next two pages lists Ethernet interface faults and corrective actions.
For Ethernet interfaces the leftmost 14 digits of fault extra data (underlined in the example
above) show the corresponding log Events (2 digits) and Entries 2, 3, and 4 (in that order, 4
digits each). The example above is reporting an Event 16, Entry 2=6, Entry 3=3, and
Entry 4=5.
For Controller Fault table entries generated by the Ethernet interface, the Detailed Fault Data
for that entry contains the same data as the corresponding event in the Ethernet interface's
exception log. Refer to the PACSystems TCP/IP Ethernet Communications Station Manager
User Manual, GFK-2225, for information on how to interpret Ethernet exception log events.
For additional information on using the fault tables, refer to Chapter 14, Diagnostics.
