Function Codes
This field allows you to select which function code to use for a read or write. You
may also specify a read-only or a write-only service object by unchecking the
checkbox next to the write or the read function, respectively.
Note that some protocols only support one read and one write function code.

Viewing the Status of a Service Object
The gateway provides the user the ability to debug the configured service objects
while the device is running. When defining a service object, check the
Reflect
Status
checkbox and enter the database address to store the status information.
The status information is a 16-byte structure containing a transmission counter, a
receive counter, a receive error counter, the current status, and the last error of
the defined service object. This information is detailed in Appendix B: Status
Information. The data contained in the status information may be viewed over the
network on the other port of the gateway by mapping objects to the same
database address where the status information is stored.
Alternatively, the status can be viewed in the
Monitor
tab in the
Status
list of the
configuration utility. When a configuration that contains a service object status is
downloaded to the device, or uploaded from the device, that address is
automatically added into the
Status
list in the
Monitor
tab (status addresses can
also be added manually in the
Monitor
tab by typing the address and clicking
Add Status Address
). This window will show the value of each of the counters
and a translation of the current status and last error. In addition, the counters can
be reset by selecting one or more entries in the
Status
list and clicking
Reset
Counters
. Status addresses can also be deleted by selecting one or more
entries in the
Status
list and clicking
Delete Status Address
, or all of the entries
can be deleted by clicking
Delete All Status Addresses
.
