Diagnostic Tools

6.6MBPSTAT

MBPSTAT is the Modbus Plus network diagnostic utility. You can use it to view a list of active nodes, monitor network activity, and record a node’s error statistics.

6.6.1Starting MBPSTAT

MBPSTAT is run from the bridge’s command line. You can get the command line prompt by initializing the bridge without a connection to a BOOTP server.

Setup

If a keyboard and monitor are already connected to the bridge, stop the bridge by pressing Q and confirming that you want to quit the bridge application.

If a keyboard and monitor are not connected, remove power to the bridge and connect them to the bridge’s connector panel. Restore power to the bridge.

If the bridge displays its CFGUTIL menu, press Escape to close the menu. This should display the bridge’s C:\ > prompt.

Starting

To start the program, enter: MBPSTAT /s5d

6.6.2Selecting the Network to be Analyzed

The program will next prompt you for a routing path to the Modbus Plus network you want to analyze. For example, you can examine the local network, or you can examine a remote network that is accessed through a series of BP85 Bridge Plus devices.

Note that you are selecting a target network only ---- the address of any specific

node on that network will be entered later as you run the program.

You can enter up to four network routing bytes. The last non--zero entry defines the target network. The first zero entry terminates the routing. Routing examples are shown in Figure 20. Your entry screen is shown in Figure 22.

6.6.3Network Selection Examples

If you enter a routing path of all zeros, you are disabling routing to other networks. You are instructing the program to analyze the local Modbus Plus network (the one to which your local host based device is directly connected).
