Diagnostic Toolbar

Overview

The diagnostic toolbar is a configurable visual status indicator for devices and ports.

User Interface

All devices will have a Demand Poll button to allow for quick access.  Devices that collect history will also have a Retrieve History button.

Status Block Health Indicator

The Status Block will show a color code for current poll status of the device or port.  

Green : Poll Successful

Yellow : Poll Interrupted or Incomplete

Red : Communication Error or Poll Failure

Black : Port Closed\Disable or Not Polled

Diagnostic Tags

The next three diagnostic fields are configurable on the Options Tab on both the device and port objects.  They default to ThisHourPctGoodPolls, LastHourPctGoodPolls, and LastPollSuccessTime, however any OPC tags can be assign to these fields.  The OPC tags assigned to these fields are added to the list of tags retrieved during a normal demand poll for an object when the object form is open in ACM.  The values in the toolbar are automatically updated when a demand poll is completed.
