Debug Levels 

Menu options 6, 8, 10, 12, and 16 are used to enable or disable various RediGate task diagnostics to a certain level of detail. Use option 99 (Monitor Diagnostics) to view the real-time activity based on the task diagnostic levels that have been set. If a certain event in the system occurs which is at or below the current Debug Level for that task, the message will appear in the diagnostics display. Menu option 5 shows the current list of Debug Level for all tasks.

Following is a description of the diagnostic Debug Levels:

  • 0 = Fatal Errors – This is the least detailed type of debugging that can be selected.  Such an event is fatal to system operation, effectively ending task operation.
  • 1 = General Errors – These are operational or system errors that are not fatal in nature.
  • 2 = Status Messages – (default) These are informational messages which describe important task status changes, etc.
  • 3 = Data Displays – Somewhat more detailed display of protocol message headers or system events.
  • 4 = Data Dumps – This is the most detailed level of diagnostic logging.  All events relating to the system task are displayed in Monitor Diagnostics when this option is selected. For some tasks, this includes hex dumps of bytes sent or received.

1- System Status

Main Menu → Diagnostics Services → System Status

View certain system condition of the RediGate operating code, including the Linux build information and current message queues.

Enter 1 for the System Status menu, and press Enter through the following sets of information.

The Message Queues include message queue ID, owner and permissions of the task, and the number of used bytes and messages. For most users, this information is low-level and not too useful, but occasionally it can be informative of problems if one task is taking up a growing number of used bytes, or if the list of message queues continues to grow longer.

Debug Level 0-4 or 'S'tats ? 4

If prompted, enter a Node Address the task to which the diagnostics status will be applied. For master protocol tasks, this will be the Unit Address of the device being monitored. For other task types, other information will be prompted to identify the scope of the diagnostic level being applied.

Enter Node Address for Slot=5 (-1 for all) 1

If prompted, enter 1 to enable the diagnostics for the task, or 0 to disable diagnostics.

Note that the multiple debug items for same task can in some cases have diagnostics for multiple items (such as Field Units) enabled or disabled at the same time. For instance, to enable diagnostics for only 3 out of 10 Field Units on a master channel, first Disable diagnostics for "All" units; then select the Task Diagnostics menu multiple times to Enable diagnostics for only certain Field Unit node addresses. Enabling debugging for a single unit does not automatically disable diagnostics for all the others.

Enter 0=Disable : 1=Enable [Default=1] ? 1

After entering all information related to the task Debug Level modification, a single line output will indicate the change in status, and the list of tasks will generally be shown again.

Redisplay (Y/N/E where E is Extended Info) ?

See Channel Status for details on the Master Channel status information.

All configured Field Units are listed with status, one per line.

  • Addr – FieldUnit address from configuration
  • Name – FieldUnit name from configuration
  • Protocol – Enumeration indicating both the protocol and Master Channel instance number. For example, MBMAST00 refers to Modbus Master protocol on Channel 0. The Protocol enumeration is also used for diagnostic messages in the Monitor Diagnostics log.
  • Status – Current state of each Field Unit.
    • PollDone - Device is in communication and last poll was completed successfully.
    • Timeout - Last poll to device timed out with no valid response.
    • BadData - Last poll received some data but it was not a correct expected response (including an exception code).
    • FrameErr - Last poll received a framing error (possibly part of the message was received but not all – ?? check with John)
    • Stopped - Field Unit or Channel is disabled or not being polled
    • Polling - Poll has been sent but response not yet received, or a response to one poll has been received but not all polls are completed, so the device status cannot be completely confirmed yet.
    • No Polls - No polls have been sent to Field Unit since last restart.
  • Time – Last time the Field Unit was accessed (started, polled, command sent).
  • Count – Number of polls which have successfully received a response.
  • TimOut – Number of polls which have timed out after all configured retries.
  • BadData – Number of polls which have received a bad data response.
  • Frame – Number of polls which have received a framing error response.

 If the Extended Info option is select by entering E, more information is displayed showing the configuration of the various port configurations (Async or Network Circuit).

12- Slave Diags

Main Menu → Diagnostics Services → Slave Diags

Set the Debug Level for a Slave Channel, or view statistics on a Slave Channel.

Enter 12 for Slave Diags. Enter the enumeration, starting from 0, for the Slave Channel you wish to view or set.

Slave Channels are identified with a short name plus the numeric instance number of the task. Network Slave Channels may either end with a 'd' (for the listening socket) or a number (for an active socket connection). Examples:

  • DNPSLAV0 = DNP Async Slave Channel, instance number 0
  • MBNSL00d = Modbus Network Slave Channel 'daemon' (listening socket), instance number 0. This is the task that waits for incoming connections, and then spawns a separate task handling the active socket connection. If you set the Debug Level for this task, then any future connections to the socket will inherit the same Debug Level.
  • MBNSL001 = Modbus Network Slave Channel (active socket connection #1), instance number 0. Many device protocol servers allow multiple simultaneous sockets to the same port. If you set the Debug Level for this task, it only applies to the current host connection to the socket. Once the socket connection is closed, the 'daemon' process controls the Debug Level of future connections.

99- Monitor Diagnostics

Main Menu → Diagnostics Services → Monitor Diagnostics

View the current diagnostic messages generated by the RediGate tasks. The amount of information shown depends on what activity is occurring and the current settings of the Debug Level for each task.

Enter 99 for Monitor Diagnostics.

 

510- Trend a Point

 

535- View Custom Rpt

If one or more Custom Report is configured for this RediGate, view the contents of the report. The Custom Report is a pre-defined set of RTDB registers with a tag descriptor. This is a more convenient way to view the values of registers than option 18, and it allows registers that have been defined as read/write to be written to through the user menu.

Enter 535 for View Custom Rpt.
