2.3.4. Connection 
Overview 
- Error Statistics Aspect 
Parameter 
Description 
Connection  
The current connection being displayed out of the total number. 
PEX No slave 
Pex mode tried to create a cache block and failed - normally a 
failed write-through.  See Driver Manual for further information 
Server Overruns 
A message arrived from the upstream device while the server port 
was on hold.  Increase the timeout setting in the external device. 
Server Hold Timeouts 
If an upstream device requests data from a cache where the data 
is too old then the data will be refreshed by polling from the 
downstream device.  The response was not received in time. 
Timeouts 
A remote device never responded to the FieldServer poll.  Either 
the device is not responding, or one of the timeout parameters is 
set too low.  Ensure that the device is online and addressed 
correctly and if necessary increase the relevant timeout parameter 
in the CSV file. 
Checksum Errors 
External influences e.g. electrical noise corrupted the data. 
Check that communication cables are shielded, not too long and
do not run past power cables. 
Protocol Errors 
An external device responded with unexpected or unknown 
messages.  Consult the relevant driver manual. 
Noise 
Corrupted or garbage bytes on a communications line. 
Bad Length 
A message that looks Ok, but is of the incorrect length. 
Bad Node 
A no-response/error response from an addressable external 
device. 
Bad Function 
E.g. an external device is written to that does not support writes. 
No Start 
Communications to an external device could not be started. 
PLC exception 
A variation of a NAK message produced by some protocols. 
NAK 
A NAK message is received in response to a poll. 
Streaming 
Data seems to be continuously arriving from an external device. 
This could be due to a mismatch in baud rates. 
Streaming errors are typically produced when: 
1) The transmitter sends more data than the FieldServer can 
process.  
2) An unexpectedly long message is received or messages have 
been corrupted so that the end of a previous message cannot be 
detected. 
3) A message longer than the driver expects has been received. 
Premature 
A response from an external device arrived before it was 
expected, implying that it is not the response for the poll the 
FieldServer has just sent.  This could occur when there are time 
delays in communication networks which contain bridges and 
routers which may delay messages for longer than expected. 
Increase the timeout parameter for the connection to eliminate 
these errors. 
Preamble 
Characters preceding a message were dropped. 
IC Timeouts  
Too much time between receiving successive bytes in a message.
Address Errors  
A driver tried to address a wrong device or a wrong block of data 
within an external device.  
Data Object offline 
A poll was received for a node that is offline. 
Node Offline 
An external device node is offline in response to a driver or
