5.2MBPSTAT Diagnostics

This troubleshooting section applies to Users that have access to a utility from Modicon called MBPSTAT. This utility is shipped with the SA-85 Modbus Plus Communications Card, and allows easy access to Modbus Plus Network status and statistics.

The data that is available with the utility includes:

Active Node List: If there is doubt as to whether or not the MBP node is seen on the network, this list will show all active nodes

Global Data: The utility will read the Global Out Data being transmitted from each node, allowing a user to see the actual values coming out of any node

Node Statistics: This screen will show you the communication status and error counters within each node. This data is useful if unusual communication problems are occurring
