Callout table notes
Figure 76. Referenced items in table have defined data columns
By default, columns in this table are labeled as below, and are explained as follows:
- Reference
The callout number for the item in the controller image. If an option card port, it may use a “1-n” or “2-n” number that relates to option slot 1 or 2 (for those platforms with two option card slots).
- Location
Usually either “Base Unit”, “Option Slot1”, or “Option Slot2” (the callout line in the image clarifies).
- Description
Text description of the item, whether option card, option module, COM port, or other physical feature.
NOTE: Any “vendor-unique” option card may incorrectly list, e.g. “Single Port RS-232 Option Card”. We recommend that you verify with the option card’s vendor as to how it lists/appears in this service. - Port Type
If applicable, the type of controller port, e.g. RS-485, RS-232, Ethernet, NDIO (Niagara Direct Input Output), and so on. If not applicable to the referenced item, this field is blank.
- Status
If applicable, the disposition of the referenced item. If not applicable, this field is blank.
- If a serial port currently in use in the station, status reads “Owned by entity”, where the entity could be a driver network
(say
ModbusAsyncNetwork), or low-level driver (saymstp1, for an MstpPort in a BacnetNetwork), or evenSerial Shellfor a COM1 port—if the serial shell jumper is installed. If a serial port not currently used in the station, status isAvailable. - If an Ethernet LAN port, status is either
Available(port enabled in controller’s TCP/IP configuration) orDisabled(port not enabled in controller’s TCP/IP configuration). - Platforms with a “serial shell jumper” have status either
Normal OperationorSerial Shell.
- If a serial port currently in use in the station, status reads “Owned by entity”, where the entity could be a driver network
