10.1.1. I/O Data

On the DiagnosticsI/O data page you can monitor how the data flow between the EtherNet/IP side and the
Modbus TCP side, including any configured endian conversions.

Figure 42. I/O data

The table can contain at most 10000 messages. When the limit is reached, the oldest messages are discarded
when new messages are added.

Switch between the OT networks
To switch between the networks, select EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP.

Select how data is displayed
To choose if the data should be displayed in Hexadecimal, Decimal or ASCII, click HexDec or Ascii.

Start and Stop Data flow
• To start the data flow, click Start.
• To end the data flow, click Stop.
