Protocol diagnostics counters

Diagnostics are available for the following protocols:

Each Dispatcher entry is created the first time an Engine Socket of that type is opened by a client (for example a data provider or a browser). Once created, these entries persist until the

FactoryTalk Linx

process is shut down.

There will be zero or more entries under the Dispatchers that specify paths to target devices. These entries come and go with the Dispatcher objects themselves, which are created and maintained as needed as Engine Sockets are opened and closed by the clients.

The CIP Connected Dispatchers is a little different in that multiple Dispatcher objects can be created for a given path, each managing a separate CIP connection. For each of these Dispatchers/Connections created, a separate entry is provided that is labeled according to the connection ID used internally by the

FactoryTalk Linx

engine (that is, the CIP protocol).
