CJ-series PROFIBUS Master Unit Operation Manual for NJ-series CPU Unit (W509)
CX-ConfiguratorFDT provides two logging windows at the bottom of the application window. Both win-
dows are used for displaying events.
Error Log View
The Error Log view displays error messages reported by the DTMs and by the CX-ConfiguratorFDT
container application. All messages include the Time and Date of occurrence, as well as the DTM
Name, as shown in the Network view.
Purpose of the Error Log
The purpose of the Error Log view is error reporting as well as troubleshooting. The contents of the
window can be copied to the clipboard, to allow it to be pasted into another document or into an
email. The errors themselves as well as the sequence of errors may hold additional clues in case of
problems.
Error Log Format
The format used in the Error Log view is
Time: <Time> Date: <Date> - <DTM name> <message>
The message displayed, originates from the DTM in which the error occurred.
The figure below shows an example of an error message sequence. This example sequence is gen-
erated after attempting to change a slave address to that of another slave already assigned to the
same Master Unit.
By right-clicking the mouse cursor in the Error Log view, a context menu is displayed. This context
menu provides the options listed below.
Error Log View Context Menu
FDT Monitoring View
The FDT Monitoring view displays the communication between the FDT Container application (i.e.
CX-ConfiguratorFDT) and any of the DTMs. The communication is listed as a sequence of function
calls from the CX-ConfiguratorFDT to a DTM and vice versa.
Note The FDT Monitoring view is hidden by default. After starting CX-ConfiguratorFDT, the window
will be displayed, by selecting the View - FDT Monitoring option from the main menu.
The purpose of the FDT Monitoring view is troubleshooting in case problems occur with third party
DTMs. The contents of the window can be copied to the clipboard, to allow it to be pasted into
another document or into an email. The messages themselves as well as the sequence of mes-
sages may hold additional clues in case of problems.
