Client Communications Status
The Client Communications Status screen displays the auxiliary instruments and their status, if any.
For a typical Nitrider application, the following client instruments are used and should show a communications status (“Status”) of OK:
-
Instrument 7 – Nitrogen Flow Controller Board
-
Instrument 8 – Ammonia Flow Controller Board
-
Instrument 9 – Dissociate Ammonia Flow Controller Board
-
Instrument 11 – Micrologix 1200 PLC
-
All other instruments will display N/A for communication status.
The possible communications messages that can be displayed are:
-
N/A – No instrument is connected
-
Bad – No communications exist
-
??? – Communications exist, but there are frequent errors
-
?OK – Communications exist, but there are occasional errors
-
OK – Communication is established and working properly
