Messaging

The CIP Messaging counters provide global information, and are not related to a specific driver. These counters are not available via RSWho. They are only available from
Communications > CIP Diagnostics
. The following is the list of diagnostic counters shown and the definition of each.
PCCC requests received
Total number of PCCC requests received by RSLinx Classic encapsulated in a CIP message, either unconnected or via a CIP Messaging connection made with the RSLinx Classic CIP Message Router. These PCCC requests are extracted and forwarded to their intended destination (for example, the DDE Server or a client application registered on the RSLinx Classic virtual link).
PCCC replies canceled
Total number of PCCC requests received by RSLinx Classic encapsulated in a CIP message, but that were canceled before RSLinx Classic returned a response.
PCCC replies returned
Total number of PCCC replies that were encapsulated and returned by RSLinx Classic in a CIP message in response to PCCC requests received by RSLinx Classic encapsulated in a CIP message.
CIP requests received
Total number of CIP messages handled by RSLinx Classic, either for internal processing, for forwarding to another device, or for forwarding to another application.
CIP replies canceled
Total number of CIP messages handled by RSLinx Classic, but that were canceled before RSLinx Classic returned a response.
CIP replies returned
Total number of CIP replies returned by RSLinx Classic in response to CIP messages received by RSLinx Classic.
MR connections open
Total number of CIP Messaging connections currently open to the RSLinx Classic CIP Message Router. A network device (such as a 1756-DHRIO) establishes these connections to send CIP messages to RSLinx Classic.
MR connections requested
Total number of CIP Messaging connections that devices attempted to open with the RSLinx Classic CIP Message Router.
MR connections accepted
Total number of CIP Messaging connections that devices attempted to open with the RSLinx Classic CIP Message Router, and that RSLinx Classic accepted.
MR connections closed
Total number of CIP Messaging connections that devices established with the RSLinx Classic CIP Message Router, but that were closed by the connection originator.
MR connections timed out
Total number of CIP Messaging connections that devices established with the RSLinx Classic CIP Message Router, but that timed out due to inactivity. This is normal behavior.
MR connection receipts
Total number of CIP requests received on CIP Messaging connections established with the RSLinx Classic CIP Message Router.
MR connection sends
Total number of CIP responses returned on CIP Messaging Connections established with the RSLinx Classic CIP Message Router.
Unconnected requests outstanding
Total number of CIP unconnected requests RSLinx Classic sent, but for which no response has been received.
Unconnected requests sent
Total number of CIP unconnected requests RSLinx Classic sent.
Unconnected requests failed
Total number of CIP unconnected requests RSLinx Classic was unable to send because of failure to obtain some resource. If an unconnected send fails in this manner, RSLinx Classic returns a response with a CIP general status of 1 and an extended status of 0204 (hex). This number should be zero.
Unconnected requests canceled
Total number of CIP unconnected requests RSLinx Classic sent, but that were canceled, due for example to the sending application being closed. Once a request is canceled, RSLinx Classic will not return any response.
Unconnected requests completed
Total number of CIP unconnected requests RSLinx Classic sent, and for which a response was received and returned to the sender of the request.
Unconnected requests timed out
Total number of CIP unconnected requests RSLinx Classic sent, but that timed out before a response was received. If a request times out, RSLinx Classic returns a response with a CIP general status of 1 and an extended status of 0204 (hex). Timeouts may indicate that the timeout interval supplied with the request is too short, that the network load is too heavy, that a target (or bridge) device is not there (or is not communicating), or that buffers are being overrun in the target (or bridge) device.
Fragmentation NAKs received
Total number of fragmentation NAKs received in response to CIP unconnected requests RSLinx Classic encapsulated in PCCC messages and sent over a network using the PCCC fragmentation protocol.
