Indicators

Incomplete information - indicates that the downloading node (the workstation) does not have all the information on the node with this indicator. To clear this indicator, right-click the node with the indicator, and then select Download Setup Data. This transfers setup data from the database to the physical node. It also updates the downloading workstation node so that the workstation has all the information it needs to manage the new node. This indicator can appear on controllers and workstations that are physically connected to the network or on controller or workstation placeholders. Note that you cannot download the system data for a placeholder; the physical node must be connected first.

Integrity - indicates that the node is communicating but has an integrity problem. Controllers can have this indicator for several reasons.

For example:

There is a mismatch between the I/O configuration and the physical I/O. Compare the controller's I/O configuration in the Explorer with the actual I/O cards connected to the controller.

The controller is configured for network redundancy but does not have the necessary connections to support it. Check to see if the node is configured to support network redundancy. If it is, make sure the controller has a network connection.

Workstations can have this indicator for several reasons.

For example:

The workstation is configured for network redundancy but does not have the necessary connections. Check to see if the workstation is configured to support network redundancy. If it is, make sure the workstation has a network connection.

The workstation cannot communicate with at least one controller that it needs to communicate with.

The Event Chronicle database has detected an error (such as an invalid directory).

SIL integrity - indicates a problem with the overall integrity of one or more of the logic solvers or SISNet repeaters connected to this controller (the SInteg parameter is not GOOD). 

No configuration - indicates that the node does not have a configuration. This can occur if the node has never been downloaded. For controllers, this can occur if there is a power failure and cold restart was not enabled for the node.

Not communicating - indicates that the node is not communicating. This indicator occurs when there is a bad connection, if the controller is not powered up, or if the controller is decommissioned. To clear this indicator, go to the node and make sure it is connected, that the wiring is correct and sound, and that the node is powered up.

"Needs Downloading" Value

Definition

Yes

Indicates that some of the parameters in the database for this node no longer match the parameters in the node itself. If you perform a download, some changes will be made to the node. If this indicator is not present, no download is required.

To open the Pending Download Changes dialog, containing a list of all modified download scripts contributing to the pending download of a selected item, right-click the node, and then select Download Status → Show Details.

Unknown

Library module. You can drag library modules into an area, modify them, and use them in your configuration strategy.

Module in an area. A module in an area is the database copy of the module. Area modules can be edited and assigned by reference to a specific controller.

Module assigned to a controller. The control associated with this module is placed in the controller when the controller is downloaded.

Module assigned to a controller and downloaded

Downloaded module for which the assignment has been removed
