address these messages will not be displayed if you choose this option. This option is useful
where there is more than one system in the same area so that only the radio messages relevant to
the desired system will be displayed.
Option g) Display Configured Protocol Driver
This option displays the configured Protocol Driver for this unit e.g.
Configured Protocol is: Ethernet TCP-IT
Option h, i, j, k) Enable/Disable Fieldbus Read/Write Area
(These options not available on the Modbus/DF1 version)
This option is used to halt data exchange between the Fieldbus Interface and the Radio Interface
(I/O Registers). This is mainly used when trying to read or write image arrays. If the Fieldbus
read area “h” is not disabled when trying to read or write to the I/O registers then the value in the
Fieldbus database will overwrite the I/O register and you may get an incorrect value.
When doing read/write image array and the module has been configured with Fieldbus
mappings, you may need to disable the Fieldbus read area option h. This stops the Fieldbus
database overwriting the radio database.

Ethernet Diagnostics
Read and Write image array can also be done via the Ethernet port by selecting ‘Debug I/O
Registers’ from within the Ethernet Settings window in the configuration software. The IP
address of the module must have previously been configured in the module - refer to section
4.8.2 for setting IP address.
To debug the registers you will need to select ‘Connect’ under Debug Options. The Green / Red
box will indicate the Connected / Disconnected State. Once connected select “Read” and check
“Continuous”. The display option allows you to view the registers in different formats, and you
can select which I/O register you want to view from the left-hand side of the screen.
