To access this view from the main menu, click Controller Setup > Remote Devices > Remote Drivers, double-click the Nrio Network row in the Remote Drivers view, and double-click a module row or select the row and click the Hyperlink button (Image).

Buttons

The row of buttons along the top of this view provide these functions:

  • Image opens the Nrio Point Manager view.
  • Image resets the accumulated total value for all CounterInputPoints to zero (0), which is equivalent to invoking the Reset command on each point's proxy extension (ProxyExt).
  • Image opens the Go to Module window for navigating to another Nrio module under the controller’s Nrio Network. The system populates this window only when there are two or more Nrio modules on the network.
  • The Nrio Network button (Image) returns up one level to the Niro Network view.
Property Value Description
Status read-only Reports the condition of the entity or process at last polling.

{ok} indicates that the entity is licensed and polling successfully.

{down} indicates that the last poll was unsuccessful, perhaps because of an incorrect property.

{disabled} indicates that the Enable property is set to false.

{fault} indicates another problem.

Depending on conditions, multiple status flags may be set including {fault} and {disabled}, combined with {down}, {alarm}, {stale}, and {unackedAlarm}.

Enabled true or false Turns the feature on (true) and off (false).
Fault Cause read-only Reports the reason why a network, component, or extension is in fault. Fault Cause is blank unless a fault exists.
Health read-only Reports the status of the network or component. This advisory information, including a time stamp, can help you recognize and troubleshoot network problems but it provides no direct network management controls.
Alarm Source Info Ref Chooser Links to a set of properties for configuring and routing alarms. These properties are documented in the Alarm Setup topic of the PDF and in the help system (search for Alarm Source Info).
Address read-only Displays an integer between 1 and 16, which is unique among all Nrio modules under the Nrio network. The system automatically derives this number and associates it with the physical I/O devices upon an online discover.
Io Status read-only

Indicates the value (in hexadecimal) last received by the actrld (access control daemon) process running on the controller.

These values are for advanced debug purposes only.
