2.4.2.Node Overview - Status Aspect

Parameter

Description

Node

The current node being displayed out of the total.

 

For a client node. Online, offline, disabled or probation.

 

Probation means that the node is in transition from offline to online.

Node Status

The node was offline, a poll has succeeded but the probation timeout

 

has not expired so the node has not been returned to online yet.

 

If the node isn’t a client node then it is reported as server.

Node Mode

Client or Server

Retry State

The state number of the node retry state engine – for FieldServer

developers.

 

Used Retries

The total number of retries since start-up

Recoveries

The number of times that the driver has gone from offline to online.

 

This is an important indication if the driver appears not to be polling.

 

Displays yes or no.

 

If a Map Descriptor with function = “ARS” (Active Read on Startup) is

Active R/W on Startup

found then this field reports as ‘yes’. ARS Map Descriptors are

 

scheduled to occur when a node is still offline and are only used once.

 

They are intended to establish a connection or to log into a remote

 

device. No other Map Descriptors are polled until the ARS Map

 

Descriptors complete normally.

2.4.3.Node Overview - Operating Statistics Aspect

Node statistics are a roll-up of all the statistics maintained by the Map Descriptors which belong to the node. For example, if three Map Descriptors belong to a single node, then each time a message is sent for each Map Descriptor, the statistics for the Map Descriptor, the node and the connection are updated.
