Driver Manual

Catching Ignored Messages

To assist you catch and monitor ignored messages the driver provides a special map descriptor keyword.

Make a map descriptor and set the parameter AM6000_TypeID 's value to Catch-All.Make sure that this is the last map descriptor in the csv file. The map descriptor requires a data length of at least 82 and when using RUI_Debug you should view the data array in <S>tring mode.

The driver will place any ignored messages in this buffer. You will be able to read the message in <S>tring mode an make a decision on the necessary corrective action. If there are multiple messages being ignored the buffer will be overwritten.

You could use your PLC / control device / Scada to monitor the first byte of this data array and generate an alarm if the value is non-zero. Thus, even though a message has been ignored you system will know about it.
